Taking the #Tide Coldwater Challenge #washcold @shespeaksup

As a high schooler back in Manchester, England. I wore a school uniform M-F. On the weekends I had about 2-3 outfits. It was England so summer clothes were kind of nonexistent. Too chilly for shorts and tees. That said, my mother must have done washing 24-7 to keep up with my distinct lack...

Reindeer Food, Halloween Skeletons, and Bunny Crafts

One of the pluses of having children at different preschools is the variety. For a myriad of reasons, my three children attended four different preschools. Each preschool adhered to the preschool calendar of projects tied in to holiday traditions and celebrations. Even though all three preschools celebrated seasonal events, each had different lesson plans...

You know how it is. You find a notepad. Select a working pen. Gather your thoughts. Put pen to paper. Take a breath. Get totally overwhelmed. Take another deeper breath. Decide what needs to go first. Make the first notation on your to do list. Make a second entry. Third entry. Fourth. Fifth. Tenth...

Crossing Stuff Off the Holiday List Is So Much Fun with @Zaarly

I’m the worst person to buy for. I buy few clothes for myself as my tastes and specifications are very limited. I can search racks and racks at a clothing store and find only one or maybe two items that I can tolerate. I don’t play video games. I don’t listen to music on...

The Old Carpet Isn’t What It Used To Be

Choices. We all have to make choices. This morning I dithered and dallied and dragged my heels on making a choice. I won’t even get in to what the choice was. It was relatively minor. I should have debated a few minutes, made a decision, and moved on with my day. Instead, I dallied...

Playing in the Fresh Air and Winner Announced

There was a time when I was rarely inside during the day. My little ones wanted to be outside all the time. Playing in the sandbox. Swinging on the swings. Running around. Playing ball. Riding bikes. You name it and we were outside doing it. Don’t get me wrong I love the fresh air,...

Giving Flex View the Once Over [Review]

The other day I did something for me AND I’m not sorry. That’s right I actually did something for myself instead of doing something for every member of my family first…and then doing something for me. You know what I had a good time doing it too! You see last week I fiddled with...

Clutter…Back-to-School Edition

August 23, 2011
By

I’m not what you would call a super-duper housewife. I clean when I have to do. I declutter when the mood strikes. The problem is that I never know when a cleaning mood will strike. This weekend was one of those times. I saw an opportunity to not only declutter but do it with...

Using Tried and True Family Favorites to Spice Up Dinner #seizingfamilytime

Tonight was one of those nights. I WANTED to bundle kids and husband in the van to go out to dinner. I WANTED to call for a pizza. I WANTED to get Chinese for dinner. After a week of eating out at BlogHer followed by eating out while on vacation with my family, I...
