The Kitchen Counter Clutter Is Driving Me Crazy

I have been so overwhelmed by several areas of my house. One of these areas of my house (which always seems to be a disaster) is my kitchen counter. There is just so much open space, and it just begs for things to be set on it. So, this weekend, I tackled my kitchen counter. [...]

Do you ever get really tired?

I mean, like really tired. Like, so tired that you start to think, “You know — if I got the flu, I would probably have to stay in bed for a few days and just rest.” Oh…ummmm…that’s not a normal thought? Oh yeah, no, I don’t ever think that either. I was just asking, that’s [...]

Just a little giggle about Ebay

Culling Out My Wardrobe (Tackle It Tuesday)

One of the projects that I did this week, what with the warmer weather finally here, was to sort through my closet. This is something that I try to do a couple times a year (or at least once a year, as should everyone else too!). If you think about clearing out the clothes you [...]

I wanted to pick up a magazine called Storage

I saw this magazine in two different places in just the last couple of days, and both times, I picked it up and started to look through it. I didn’t recognize it the second time until I got to something or other that made me say, “Oh hey — this is the magazine I was [...]

Decisions that Save Money

(Reposted from my business blog) I often find things that I want to buy. And, darn it — I’ll admit it, then I sometimes obsess over it. “Won’t it be great when I have the money to buy that?” “I’m going to use it everyday when I have it.” “This is the coolest new gadget [...]

Video Games Rot The Minds of Children

Seriously. Noah got this game for Christmas, and it has been running on the computer for over four hours now. Really…I must step away from this game and go to bed already. My mind has rotted and my arm hurts.

I’m afraid my teeth might fall out soon

Normally, when I do a lot of baking, I don’t really try the things I make. I get the kids or Eric to try a bite and tell me if it’s okay. I don’t know why I do this — I guess none of it sounds any good to me while I am busy making [...]

The Devil works for Hershey

That just must be it…the Devil works for Hershey. I will admit, I’m not even that big of a chocolate eater. If I had to give up sweets forever or carbs (more like your bread/pasta carbs) forever, I wouldn’t even really have to think about it too long. But, man oh man — these darn [...]

Excess can "rotten" your house too

As has already been established (see the past post “Excess can ‘rotten’ your teeth”), excess can really do a number on your teeth. Well, this had me thinking, and I realized an important truth — excess can “rotten” your house too. We again did what would seem to be our annual rite of sorting through [...]
