I decided I wanted to make a shirt for myself for when I take my kids places this summer. I’ve made shirts before, this should have been simple. Except, I made a few blunders on the way. As a side note, I am going to start a podcast with all my tips for selfie-taking. The […]
Cleaning Brush Drill Attachment
Do you ever scroll Facebook late at night and catch yourself watching all the videos and ads, in kind of a daze? Yeah, me neither, um, I just heard about that kind of thing from a friend. (cough, cough) So, unrelated of course, last August I totally made a very late night splurge purchase on […]
My 2019 Garden
It has been a few years since I’ve had a garden and I’ve missed it SO.MUCH. (This was my last garden in Arkansas!) I am not an expert at growing things, but I love it so much, and I’m getting better all the time. I really love the ambience the garden gives to my back […]

That is, until we took ourselves off of the hamster wheel and purposely went “backwards” in houses. The home we purchased last August is smaller than our last two homes. […]
Sneaky Parenting: Music & Teens (… are you watching Songland?!)
We are three weeks into a new series out by NBC called Songland. I started watching it on a whim, but I’ve decided to start watching it with my kids because I’m interested in shows that we can enjoy together and talk about later. It is so interesting to watch the veil lifted on the […]
Clean Out Leftover Containers
I’ve posted about leftover containers before. I have strong opinions about this. I’ve dropped many pointed comments over the years. I know, it is kind of weird to have strong opinions about leftover containers. But, I do. It is hard not to after helping countless clients organize their kitchens. I saw the same thing over […]
