This is a sponsored post, but the experiences, forgetfulness, and expired-last-year coupons are all mine! Surely I'll start the school year with more presence of mind than I had when the last one ended. Right? You know that period when school feels new and exciting, and you remember everything you're supposed to remember (permission … [Read more...]
The Messy Fridge Makeover (Using Fun New Products from the Home Collection by Post-it Brand and Scotch Brand)
The following decluttering/organizing project is a sponsored post: How is it that the single largest object in my kitchen somehow becomes invisible to me? School is about to start. (Blech.)

Grilled Chicken with Dry Rub – Prepped with Bounty DuraTowel
Mmmmm. I love grilled chicken breasts. Partly, it's because they taste great. Mostly, it's because Hubby does the grilling. We generally marinate the chicken, but I wanted to try a dry rub this time. I searched around for a dry rub recipe, but mostly found people saying to make one up. Making up recipes is one of my very … [Read more...]

De-Mudding Windows (When “Cleaning Windows” Just Isn’t Descriptive Enough)
This post about cleaning my amazingly-scary windows is sponsored by Bounty DuraTowel. There’s window washing, and there’s window de-mudding. We have this certain room in our house. It’s a room, but not a room. Basically, it’s an enclosed porch that doesn’t stay enclosed because we leave one of the windows open for the dog to hop in … [Read more...]
Messy Kitchen Prep (And How I Deal With It): Ground Beef
I know summer is already here for some of you, but I have one more week to go before those glorious days begin. I. Can't. Wait. I looooovvvve the days/weeks/months of family togetherness.

One Thing That Can Stop Me in My Tracks: Allergies
Pssst, this is a sponsored post. But it also contains a story about my teenage years and some good info that I'm happy to share. Just trying to be all legal-ey and let you know! I have a long (and unhappy) history with allergies. When we were teenagers, if I was excited about going on a date or seeing someone I hoped to one day go on a date … [Read more...]
THE Hardest Spot to Clean in All the House
(This is a sponsored post. Basically, I'm getting paid to clean a spot I avoid cleaning. Yes, I get the irony.) It's spring. Which means . . . it's time to spring clean. There were many years when I just didn't spring clean. I was barely surviving under all my clutter, so the big, easy-to-neglect cleaning projects were put off … [Read more...]
Ease the Hassle of Moving by Comparing Moving Services Online
This is a sponsored post for a very cool service that you should know about if you ever plan to move again. Have I told the story about the mover who spent the ENTIRE day packing up dishes in our first little apartment kitchen? While his partner packed up the entire-rest-of-the-house? Did I mention that while he assured me over the phone … [Read more...]
