Today is the first day of summer break in our house. I have been looking forward to it for a while now. There is only so much getting up too early, driving back and forth to school, packing lunches and shelling out cash every 3 days for various fundraisers one can take! I, also, look [...]

Jewelry is my weakness. If I had to choose between buying food or a beautiful piece of jewelry, I’d choose the jewelry. Someone would feed me, right?!? Its hard for me to pass up a good deal on sparkly things! I get mesmerized by the sparkle and shine. My collection of jewelry is not huge, [...]

Please forgive my lack of writing this week. I have spent all my computer time reading great blogs and articles instead of blogging myself. So, instead of doing my own post tonight, I thought I’d share a few things I’ve been reading.
A great blog that has touched my heart is Proverbs 31 Homekeeper. It gives [...]

I love gadgets and ideas that make everyday tasks more efficient. I hate to waste time! Now, I don’t use the time I save to cram more activities and stuff into just for the sake of keeping busy. Spending quality time with family, friends, God and myself is more important.
My kitchen has lots of little [...]

My routine most Mondays is [...]

These past couple weeks, Tsh at Simple Mom has been hosting a Spring Cleaning Party. There have been lots of great ideas shared about cleaning, decluttering, and organization. I did my Spring Cleaning back in March because I had cabin fever and wanted to pretend it was spring just for my mental well-being. So, as [...]

My daughter’s 2nd grade class invited their mom’s to a special Mother’s Day program in their classroom this week. During the program, each child read aloud a narrative they wrote about their mom. At first, I must admit, all of us moms looked at each other with a little panic in our eyes in fear [...]

Emily at Not Finished Yet had this comment last week on the post Got A Plan?,
All fine and good, but what if all the tasks (and goals and plans) on one’s neatly organized list are … really boring? Cleaning is just not exciting, nor is organizing and planning. Connecting with other people via hanging out [...]
