A recap of my week via my iPhone. Just add in a busy work week, a migraine headache, and shuttling my son back and forth to his last week of summer camp. Miracles do happen! I made ribs and mashed potatoes for dinner. The kid likes it! Ok, I outsourced the meal to Costco but [...]
A garage makeover
May 2, 2011
I made an offer on our house before my husband had even seen it. He trusts my decisions, and he was ok with it. Well, really, he didn’t have a choice. I knew that this was “the one” when our realtor opened the garage. Literally, the previous owner had not done anything to the house [...]

In between all of that chaos and mess, is our brand new Bosch washer and dryer. I think we bought it in July. It is awesome. But sigh, our garage junk is taking over once again. This picture looks like one of those in a magazine, where it gives you a list of things and [...]
How To Get A Kid To Clean His Room
May 25, 2010
I have a little obsession with reality TV. I admit that. Perhaps they were having a Hoarders mini marathon on, Sunday night. I LOVE watching that show. I think it is appeasing to my inner OCD, and justifies my obsession with throwing things away. I know that my friend, Kim, will understand my need to [...]
