Have you ever realized that it was somebody’s birthday, but did not have a card on hand? I am always running into that problem. So, I decided to make it easy on myself and keep a card making basket handy in my art closet. Whenever I see some card stock on sale, I pick up a […]
This morning, I did a post over at Guerrilla Parenting about my disgust at the fly problem we’ve had around here, lately. I forgot to mention the annoyingly itchy mosquito bite I have on my cheek, or the ant invasion, in the post. I asked Marye, my very knowledgeable, fellow mother of a large brood, […]
A thought hit me today, as I stood in the shower, rinsing out the excess body wash from my scrubby thing. I always have a lot of left over lather in my scrubby thing, after washing all of my body parts. It just seems wasteful to rinse it out, but how else can I keep from having […]
Our family does not watch a whole lot of television. My kids cannot sit still long enough to make it through even one episode of cartoons, without getting up to go find something more stimulating. We do, however, enjoy having movie night, on occasion. We have always been horrible at returning movies and losing them. Every […]
My husband is a naturally frugal man. Raised with twelve siblings, he grew up in a home that barely afforded life’s basic necessities. As you can imagine, being married to a woman such as myself, often makes for his frustration. As far as spending habits go, we are the odd couple. He has to be forced to buy […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about carpeting lately - or why I can’t stand it. When we moved into this house we ripped the ugly olive green carpet out of every room in the house. With the exception of the family room and kitchen, the rest of the house has hardwood floors […]
Growing up without air conditioning proved to toughen me up as an adult. In fact, I didn’t have air conditioning in any of my homes or apartments until my husband and I bought this house six years ago. And my husband never had it in his house either. So you can see why […]
So we’re still chopping down trees and every now and then a fence panel is replaced. Until all the trees are chopped we can’t take down the whole fence, however. Our backyard is looking pretty bad with old doors, fence panels and more. We were going to call in a dumpster but we […]
Did you gut your master bath the week after you moved into your house six years ago and haven’t gone back since?
Did you peel all the wallpaper in the hall and add primer in hopes of painting before winter set in four years ago? Have you taken to decorating your walls with kids art […]
Ever wonder what your favorite blogger or writer’s office looks like? Do you picture them in an elaborate wood paneled and leathered study? Or perhaps a coffee shop in the city? My office isn’t that interesting. Made up of second hand furniture and discards from our basement, my working space is nice and quiet and […]
