Nine years ago, I wrote the very first, photo-less-at-the-time post on what was supposed to be a practice blog that no one would ever know I had created. I wanted to have a blog, but I was ashamed of the state of my home and was desperate to get it under control before I started writing. I’m thinking today about the things I did NOT know nine … [Read more...]

Have a Wonderful Summer!
I've been doing this blogging thing for almost nine years now. I started on the day my second child went to kindergarten. He will be in high school next year. When the first summer came around, my main concern was that I wouldn't be able to keep up the progress I'd made in my home while we enjoyed the gloriously routine free season. By the third … [Read more...]

But since being a member of the Cleaning Collective for P&G, which includes Febreze products, I’ve had a lot more scent in my home than I had before. This is … [Read more...]
Pressure Washing My Patio
A few weeks ago, I rented a power washer. Or a pressure washer. I'd wanted to rent one for years, hoping it would be a magical experience. Any time I scrubbed or sprayed something outside that couldn't be easily rinsed away, I thought thoughts like: If I had a power washer, this would be easy and I bet I'd be done by now. We had family coming … [Read more...]

Feeding Teenagers in the Summer (What I’ve Done and Am Doing)
Before I start the post, let me assure you that this photo was taken because of its ridiculousness. Right after I took it, we put back all but one box of ramen and re-shopped for better choices. I have sons who are 14 and 16 and a daughter who is 12. And it's summer. I love summer so much, and I love having my kids home. But they want to … [Read more...]
