Unlike last week, I didn’t plan ahead so that my typically crazy Wednesday wouldn’t send the house into chaos.
I’ve basically done nothing in the house today. I’ve been gone all day at Bible Study, Easter shoe shopping, grocery shopping, and park going.
All important things, so I have decided to not feel guilty right now.
During a recent frozen foods sale, I got some Yoplait Smoothies for quite cheap. Cheaper than I could find them on a regular basis, which was frustrating since we LOVED them. (And especially since our newly cleared clutter area allows us to get to the food processor easily!) I’ve always loved smoothies. I’ve even tried […]
Read MoreThat’s the rug. The same rug I cleared off last week for Tackle it Tuesday. It looked great until the moment when I was frantically looking for something a little more warm-weather-appropriate to pack for my daughter to wear when she went to spend the night with my SIL. Of course, I had waited until […]
Read MoreFirst of all, let me say, “Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!” for all of your encouraging comments yesterday. Yes, I did beg for them, and I feel a tiny bit guilty about that, but I am mostly just incredibly energized by them. It helps so much to know that I am not the only […]
Read MoreI didn’t want to get up this morning after a busy and exhausting weekend, and then spent two hours moving chairs and choir risers and music stands and such to clear the stage to prepare for our Easter morning service. So now I’m really tired. It’s one of those times when it sounds appealing to […]
Read MoreNo, not an avalanche of Wonderbras. In this metaphor, the Wonderbra is not the snow, it is the idiot who whistles or claps or whatever and causes the avalanche. Actually, it is probably the whistle itself . . . and I am the idiot. Last week was a bit crazy, but I was holding on. […]
Read MoreThis really doesn’t have anything to do with my home-transformation progress, it’s regarding one of my other issues – being a cheapskate. I was just over at Lifeasmom.com, and she posted some great advice on saving money on vacations. I thought I’d share my best family-vacation-money-saving idea at her Frugal Friday blog carnival. A few […]
Read MoreI am my mother’s daughter. I hear her voice come out of my mouth quite often as a mother myself. I have accepted this. But although I inherited many, many of her characteristics, there are some that did not get passed down. We spent last week, Spring Break, at my parents’ lake house. It’s a […]
Read MoreNo, the white feathers are not from a feather duster. This week is a bit crazy. I’m directing the drama for our church’s Easter service, so I’m squeezing in rehearsals all over the place. And, I got a call to sing one song for a benefit dinner on Saturday and went to that rehearsal and […]
