Oh how I love a big reveal. I love it when things go from awful to wonderful in one day. But real life, fortunately/unfortunately seems to be more about the small improvements. The ones that happen again and again. At random moments. I shared my laundry room cleanout last spring. I was excited to be able to use my narrow rolling rack that … [Read more...]
Painting the Bathroom! (Finally)
I painted my bathroom over the summer!!!!! (To be clear, the before photo isn't actually "before." I forgot to take a picture until I had already started playing around and painting that area to the right of the mirror.) It was our half-bath. The one where we send guests. The one I started painting once before, decided I hated the color, and … [Read more...]

Back to Blogging (Since the Kids are Back to School) and my Summer 2016 Home Report!
Our summer break is over. I'm sad. As always, though, I feel some excitement about getting back into a routine. Yesterday was a little stressful as the boys are starting in new buildings as they go into Jr. High and High School. No more little kids for me. I thought I'd start back to blogging with the traditional What I Did Over the Summer … [Read more...]
Mr. Clean’s Classic Jingle Gets an Update! (Sponsored Post) #mrclean #fbf
A sponsored post! Are you a jingle lover, too? I may not remember a thing from Algebra II, but I can belt out catchy commercials that I haven't heard in 20 years, word for word. When I was a freshman cheerleader (yes, really), I volunteered to write and direct our squad's skit for cheerleading camp. I took a great idea from a friend and … [Read more...]

Fun and Easy Learning Games for Kids – Book Review
I've always viewed myself as my kids' main teacher, even though they go to public schools. At 10, 12, and 14, they've passed the point of me helping with math or science homework. Now, I mainly fulfill my role through in-the-car lectures on a vast array of subjects. From dissecting why that particular building at that particular corner has housed … [Read more...]
As Soon as I’m Done, I Always Find One More Thing
It happens pretty much every time I declutter or straighten or whatever. I think I'm done and I smile smugly and turn away from my totally finished project. Only to run smack dab into One More Thing. One more thing that needs to go in the spot I just filled as full as it can be before it morphs into a mess. One more thing I can't … [Read more...]
