When my daughter was sick last month I looked all over for the thermometer and couldn’t find it. I’d finally had enough: it was time to clean out the nether regions of my bathroom. I wasn’t even exactly sure I’d find it in there, but it was as good of a place to start as [...]

My 6yo is a sweet, helpful little girl with a service-oriented spirit. Usually. She’ll offer to unload the dishwasher. She readily helps me with dinner. She’ll even strike a pose and hold it until my point-and-shoot decides to cooperate. But good Lord Almighty in Heaven above, the child will not clean her room. This is [...]

No sooner do I get back from my trip to Chicago then our washer goes kaput. Lots and lots of water — NOT INSIDE THE WASHER.Not good. Especially when you’re right in the middle of trying to catch up on your laundry. I’m really not too keen on washing clothes in the bathtub; I’d rather [...]

With the advent of cooler weather, I thought it time to assess my winter wear. Standard SAHM fare. Plenty of tops, to be sure. I have more sweaters in my wardrobe, too.In fact, I’m not convinced it’s not too many clothes; I’m kind of a wear-my-favorites over-and-over kind of gal. So I thought I’d try [...]

But the stuff has been spilling over… BEFORE:When we lived in Italy, we splurged and got ourselves some new bedroom furniture. [...]

I tackled several areas in my house this week on my “Itch to Pitch” de-cluttering mission. Unfortunately, many projects were started, but not all were finished… Can you relate? You go to clean up one area, only to find things that belong in another area. So you go to put them away and totally get [...]

When my oldest son Conner was in preschool, he came home with tons and tons of beautiful “creations” that we used to hang up all over his room. Tip — Best wall decor around: hang up your kids’ artwork. It costs you nothing extra and they love it. When Conner was three we lived in [...]

I found some shelves at a yard sale last summer that fit perfectly next to the kitchen table where my 6yo daughter likes to go through her tree-a-week in drawings and writings. We never really set up any organization for it, though, and things just got thrown in there willy-nilly. For months, it’s been out [...]
