Wallables — Super Cute Wall Decorations
Before our oldest was born, my husband and I spent many hours looking at nursery furnishings. We had moved in to our new home 1.5 years before our daughter was born. We knew we would use one of the spare bedrooms as her room. The decision on what room to use was the easiest. Not... »
Is 16 Years a Long Time?
We’ve been in our house almost 16 years. Still have not painted the master bedroom, one bathroom, living room, and dining room. Builder’s white…I loathe you. The rest of the house has been painted. In fact all three children’s bedrooms have been painted 2 or 3 times! My teen’s bedroom has gone from Winnie... »
Trot over to Maryland
What question perplexes me most on forms and questionnaires? The question I find most difficult to answer is what major city do I live closest to? As a child through my pre-children years, I would have had several answers: 0-4 years — Manchester, England 5-8 — New York City 9-10 — Manchester, England 11 — New York City 12-15... »
CEO of my Family
I spend a considerable amount of time with my family. This makes sense, right? I am a mom. I manage a household of people. I organize the people in the household. I engineer it so that the people in my household get to where they need to be, participate in what they need to... »

Giveaway: Junk Has Met Its Match with Rubbermaid
My house is not what you would call neat. Our piles of paper sprout piles of paper. If the surface is flat — there will be a a mound perched precariously on top. The floor is littered with sports bags, clarinet, backpack, errant stuffed animals, and the odd lunchbox. Odd is the operative word... »
How Old Is That Mattress in the Window?
Is there a magic number for when you buy a new mattress? 10?15? 20 years? Our mattress is pushing 20 years old. It still works…and by works I mean all the springs are functional and the mattress cover is not torn and the tag is still on. I would never “Remove a Tag Once I... »
My Bedroom
The title of this post says it all. After almost 20 years of marriage I still refer to the master bedroom as “my bedroom.” I chose the bedding color, the furniture (with input from the husband), and the wall art. What was my husband’s input? He insists on having a small TV with FIOS box in... »
Blinds.com: Raising the Bar for Blind Safety
As a new mom I was hyper concerned with safety. Danger lurked around every corner for my baby. I sterilized bottles and pacifiers. I kept medications out of reach. I safety-proofed the house top and bottom. I thought I was on top of everything until I saw a recall for blinds. We had installed... »

I write from the experience of surviving one preteen and gearing up to get another one through this stage. Parenting! It’s a fight to... »
