When you live with a budding artist, you live with piles and piles of artwork. And ALL of it is special. And NONE of it can be thrown away. At least, that’s what my 5 year old tells me constantly. And as gung-ho as she is about recycling, I still can’t [...]

I’ve been following lurking around the RocksInMyDryer blog for a little while now and have been thoroughly enjoying her “Works for Me Wednesday” posts. She usually has it open to everyone to post their own links for whatever topic she’s designated and I wind up spending a few minutes hours following all the links to great posts. So, [...]

You know, if you read any of this blog, that we planted fresh herbs for Earth Day here with the kiddos. (Which reminds me, I still need to show you all my pics of our fun day!) While we did give some of them away as gifts for Mother’s Day, I still have some fresh [...]

Creativity. And… it’s portable, unlike a lot of shopping list software [...]

Leo Babauta, author of the organizational blog: zen habits, compiled a list of 15 fabulous tips for decluttering. Among them is the “one in, two out” rule… The rule: whenever you bring in an item, you have to throw away two other items. First you cheat, by throwing out two pieces of paper, but soon [...]

Why do I have that Kermit the Frog song in my head all of a sudden? “It’s not easy being green…” hmmm Sorry, sometimes mommy brains get off track. What I wanted to write about was being green - as in “save the earth” kind of stuff. Just recently I started recycling plastic and [...]

If you’ve read my post, “It’s Too Quiet…” then you know why I’ve been on a quest to find the answer to the simple question of how to clean vaseline off of well… everything. (Amazing how much damage a 18 month old and 3 year old can do in just a few minutes time!) So, [...]
What I'm Up to Now... Baby Cheapskate
If you ever wanted to hear someone put a mommy’s day into a song, try this one… (I guarantee you’ll laugh your butt off.)
