Nobody’s Perfect

I wish I was a better mom.
I wish I watched less TV. I wish I ordered less pizza. I wish I read the Bible more. I wish I was more patient with my son, more gentle with my husband, had more time for my dog. I wish I called my best friend more often and [...]

Birthday Gifts for Mom

Update: I ended up buying a whole bunch of beads and making six different (and matching) bracelets for Mom. She said the kids at school today really liked them! More importantly, she felt pretty in them!
My mom’s birthday is coming up and I can’t think of ANYTHING to get her besides a scarf, but it’s [...]

Musicals for Kids

The Savvy Source has a great list of musicals up right now and I must agree that I love ALL of these movies. As a dorky choir girl and dreamer I STILL pretend I’m in a movie and the best movie to be in is a musical!!! Along with this list I would add Carousel and [...]

Menu Plan Monday

I’m actually really excited to do my first Menu Plan Monday! I can’t believe I haven’t done it before because I LOVE planning meals, couponing, shopping – the whole bit. Most people think I’m NUTS, but I LOVE it!!! Check it out here.
Disclaimer: We get paid on a Friday, so my days start then. Also [...]

How I Calmed a Colicky Baby

This is just a VERY quick list of things that I used to do for my little guy and myself in order to survive the day and night. I PROMISE to write more about this later, but today is a big day for us and I only have a few minutes. I have been reading [...]

Felt Board Fun

This is, by far, the coolest thing I’ve made for Sam. It’s fun, educational, and really, really easy to make. The characters got a bit tedious, but it paid off in the end. Plus, you can find great pieces for different stories off of Ebay and Etsy too, I’m sure. In fact, we just ordered [...]

Mother/Wife and Everything Inbetween

To see the book, go here.
Hello all! I have missed writing so much this week! The old computer isn’t quite the same yet, as we need to wipe the hard drive and can’t do that until we copy all of our pictures to a discs, but it’s working enough to post this small bit I’ve [...]

Hydrogen Peroxide 3% – Household Uses

Man, oh man. I hate bleach. I bet you do too, right? It’s stinky, poisonous, kills your clothes, kills our environment… So many, many more. But we need it. We need it if we are going to continue to banish paper towels from our homes and instead choose rags and towels. I don’t know about you, [...]

To Do, Ta Da!

                                                     
So I haven’t been around much. It seems like I either blog a lot or not at all. I sure love Mondays, though, because everyone else is up and running again. Am I the only one who just can’t function on Mondays??? I feel like such a Non-Super Mommy, like Grumpy Lazy Queen, maybe? [...]
