Straightening Up the Dining Room Table (Because Better is Good)
There’s a difference between a ridiculously cluttered table and a table with stuff on it. Even a table with too much stuff on it. Oh. You don’t think there is? Well, it’s my blog and I say so.

Dust bunnies happen. Especially with wood floors. Hairy ones happen, especially in our family of hairy people. They stick to the end of the broom and won't come off into the dust pan like I totally think they should. So, I bend the broom as flat on the floor as possible, and vacuum them off.

Give Me a Couch, and I’ll Kick Stuff Under It (Working Through Overwhelming Clutter in a Hurry)
It's déjà vu, y'all. (And yes, I had to google how to spell déjà vu and then copy/paste it to get the marks correct.) Remember a while back when I revealed the scary underbelly of my living room couch? And then remember when I had to let washing machine delivery men into the house just hours after I returned from a trip? Well, my age-old … [Read more...]
Because They Just Don’t Care as Much as I Do
A better blogger might name this post "Labeling Shampoo and Conditioner Bottles to Keep Teenage Boys from Washing their Hair With Conditioner," but I have a very hard time believing anyone would search for that.
