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
How Do You Do It…Dinner
I prefer to cook at home most evenings. We rarely go out to dinner on a weeknight…unless it’s Kids Eat Free at Skyline. You will find us there on an occasional Wednesday when I’m just too tired to come up with a meal. I post my weekly menu on the blog for me. To force
Valentine Handprint Hearts
I normally don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day. But this year the girls were so bummed when the holiday stuff was put away. The house looked too “normal” they said. So I decided to put a few things together for a little LOVE theme on my family room hutch. I mean, I had pinned all those
The Holiday Card
Holiday cards can be a tricky thing. There are so many choices to make… Photo or not? Which pictures to use? What card company to utilize to create that photo card?

Oh Pinterest, how I still love thee…and I love the little clippies I just finished. I got this idea from this Pinterest pin. Anyone else made anything fun for Valentine’s Day?
Boy Clothes are UGLY & Anderson Cooper…wtf??
Today I was home with a sick kid. Charlotte was running a 103.5 fever and feeling yucky (sounds high, but my kids run even higher at times…sadly I don’t flinch until we start showing 104/105). And the cleaning lady was coming. What to do? Well, the cleaning lady comes in sickness and in health, so at
Resolution #2 – Food
Kids on New Year’s Eve Last week I talked about my need to reduce and/or eliminate my time within Target stores. And I’m happy to report I have NOT been in a Target store since that post. Nor have I ordered from Target online. Nor have I sent anyone else in my place to Target
It’s Friday, It’s Random!
Yesterday’s post Dear Target got quite a small conversation going on FB last night! If you prefer being updated in your News feed, but haven’t “liked” Take 10 yet on FB, here’s a shameless plug quick link to my FB page: Take 10 with Tricia. I promise not to clog your News feed…99% of the
Dear Target…
Dear Target, Our relationship has been quite a roller coaster ride. See, I neglected you for oh so many years. At first you were too upscale for me. I was in college and poor. And Wal-Mart was more my price point. I only bought true necessities back then. And you were filled with frivolous items
