Home Remodeling In mid-2019 we decided it was time to update our laundry room which is also our kitchen pantry. One of the previous owners had installed built-in shelves, but they were starting to sag and had no adjustability. The shelves were stationary and couldn’t move up or down. Some of them were super deep
A Hairy Situation
I am the last person you want to ask about hair care. Seriously. But I’m still going to give an opinion on here today about shampoo. This is solely my opinion for nothing in return. Neither of these companies contacted me, etc. When I was in high school I remember using Salon Selectives. Remember
Mother’s Day Weekend
I’m one lucky momma. We had a great Mother’s Day weekend. It all started Friday evening. Actually Friday morning Stella was VERY concerned about who was going to pick her up from daycare. She did NOT want me to pick her up at all. I didn’t get it at first, but then she explained that
Friday Facebook Finds
From: Failbook Just a couple of random thoughts today to start your weekend. Things I found posted on Facebook this week. A friend posted a good article on Facebook this week. It’s Lydia Netzer’s 15 Ways to Stay Married for 15 Years. You can read it HERE. I particularly like #6 Do your own

Due to the overwhelming response from yesterday’s post about Swim Lessons, I’m linking up to Anna and Kelley’s weekly finding the funny. Anna’s blog, My Life and Kids, is one I read in batches. Because I like it so much I want to really read it and comment, etc. But that means I’m usually about 3 weeks
Swim Lessons: The Commando Night
Summer 2011 One of my favorite old posts is still the one about the swim locker room pack ‘n play. It’s really put motherhood into perspective for me…basically, just survive in the moment. Back then I thought I was crazy for taking the two kids to swim lessons alone. I almost took THREE of them alone
Handy Andy
Lucky for me, Andy is pretty handy. Now-a-days when we decide to do a house project, the question really isn’t Can he do it?, but rather Is it worth his time? So for this recent project we decided he would paint the room and even go ahead and rip out the carpet and get it
Sometimes…Something’s Gotta Give
Yes, I’m still here. Sometimes there are weeks when something has got to give…and this week it was the blog. Henry had another virus. {sigh} Possibly hand-foot-mouth again, but no blisters ever showed up. However, the fever remained Wednesday through Friday. And daddy was slammed at work so mommy had to stay home. So here I sit,
