As my daughter and I worked on her room, I noticed that she headed to her door to immediately hang anything hangable that she came across.

I wonder where she learned that?

It’s another Benedryl Day. This Imminent Arrival of the Bug Man thing is about make me crazy. Here I’ve been going along, proud of myself for mopping on Thursdays, being able to have people over every single Sunday night, not letting the dishes get out of control, and being able to name with certainty the […]
Read MoreI’ve shared that this week is dedicated to getting the house to the point where the bug-man can come in and spray. While I would love to get the house to the point of perfection so that there is no embarrassment as he enters any-old-room, I’m a slob, and so that just isn’t something I […]
Read MoreLast spring, one of my children was diagnosed with a condition that requires medication three times daily. It was a shock to us, partially because of the life change that comes with dealing with a chronic condition, but partly because I’m not exactly the best at remembering medication.

Garage sales became less of a shopping experience, and more of a grabbing experience. Up at 6:30, crazy-eyes aglow with the anticipation […]
Read MoreMamas know all about re-prioritizing. Whether it’s the big and noble stuff like adjusting your vision of the mom you dreamed you would be to the mom you are capable of being, or the little stuff like shortening an already short list of must-have items from the store when your toddler falls and puts a […]
Read MoreSorry! Â This offer has expired. While this isn’t a frugal/money-saving blog, I do mention my love of coupons fairly often. If you’ve thought about getting started, but don’t know where to turn, I highly recommend Grocery University, by Carrie Isaac. Carrie is a true money-saver, and takes things to a new level, helping the newbie […]
Read MoreI talk a lot about my Selective Slob Vision. It is totally true that I tend to not see clutter until I trip over it. And sometimes not even then. But I’ll give one to the skeptical-normal-people here. Ummmm, sometimes I choose not to see it. Today I was at the sink at 12:11 p.m. Normally, […]
