When you have children a time comes when shelf space becomes prime realestate. My boys are lego builders, and lego structures take up a lot of shelf space. Add to that various trinkets, and trophies, and special projects from school and pretty soon your shelf space is cluttered and very full. I have been wanting [...]

We were at the library the other night when Amy spied a copy of Family Fun magazine. It had a cute Valentine themed cover and touted directions to make your own Valentine. She fell in love with the idea of making her Valentines, ever my crafty girl she was determined to make these for school. [...]

Phew a week with sick kiddos and all ambition flew out the door… or at least big projects. When I look back at the last week I actually managed to accomplish a lot of small tasks, it just seems like they don’t amount to much when you take each individually. As a whole though I [...]

I saw on an Organization blog right before Christmas and it was just such a good idea, I couldn’t believe I had never thought of it before. That perpetual pile of papers on my kitchen counter, the stack I’m always digging through looking for something.There was a solution for it. The Home Management Binder. One [...]

Whew Amy and I had a busy day today. In between basketball pictures and Kyle’s basketball game we finally got her room put together. It is all done (for now). The boxes are all unpacked. Her book case is bolted to the wall and her books and stuff organized in it. Everything in her room [...]

August 2008? Has it really been that long since I’ve blogged. Well I know very well that it has, this poor blog has sat neglected and all but abandoned for two long years. I started it back when blogging was new and hot and I wanted to use it as a way to promote my [...]

It’s time for back to school and of course that means it’s time to get a hair cut! All three of mine really needed it. Kyle was probably in the best shape because Daddy hauls him off the the barber shop every 6 weeks or so. But he has been wanting to grow out his [...]

It was a sad day in our household last summer when we had to put down our old faithful friend and pet Izzy Belle. It’s been a lonely year without a pet and we (the kids and I) finally convinced Daddy it was time for a new pet! Actually the truth of the matter is [...]
