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
Completely Random About Dead Fish and 31 Parties…
Random thoughts today from a tired momma. Yes, I should be in bed. But I just got home and needed some wind-down time first. 1. At church school on Sunday one of Stella’s friends shared with her that her fish had died. My Stella is very sensitive and caring and so we thought it would be
Bedtime Battles
Valentine’s Day is next week…so, a poem for you: Roses are Red Violets are Blue Charlotte fights bedtime Do you battle this too? I’ve been doing even more and more research on “bedtime battles” and “bedtime tantrums”. Talking to experts, reading materials, etc. The suggestions are not brain surgeon type of materials/advice.
25 Things
Today I’m linking up with Shaunna for her perfectlyimperfect 25 things… …thanks to these posts from the BFF and June and Bear. 1. It’s been a long 24 hours. 2.

We Sent Hugs in the Mail
Over the weekend, the kids made hugs. We traced and cut out each of their hands. They decorated the hands. I measured the ribbon to the length of their arms. Put them together to create a hug. Hugs went into the mail for the grandparents that are far away. A Valentine’s Day surprise. Now they
An Interview With Stella
A couple of days ago I promised an interview with Stella, currently 4.5 years old. This post was inspired by June and Bear. What are you good at doing? I’m good at writing rhyming words (see above, this is a new past-time) What do you like about yourself? You know (with a smirk), watching
Whatcha Might Not Know…Sweet Tooth
If you don’t know this about me, where have you been? But the sugar (and caffeine soda) is now sucking the life out of me. I’m crashing day after day. After the yumminess of the brownies, cookies, cakes, pies & Cherry Cokes. So, today’s a start of a new month and
Top 10 Reasons We Still Love Green Bean Delivery
