I admit, I titled this Crap Happens knowing full well that my mother will say something to me about it. Crap is not one of her favorite words and she tried to cure me of it, but I continue to rebel. Sorry, Mom. Some things can only accurately be described as crap. (Hey Mom, at […]
Cleaning Champion: Dyson v11 animal
Even for a non-shedding dog, Cookie creates a constant mess. I’m not sure how she even has toys with stuffing left, because I throw them away at every opportunity. I used to vacuum all my floors once a week, but now I need to vacuum some places almost daily. She made this mess WHILE I […]

Commit; don’t wait for motivation.
I don’t like to exercise. I never really have. There are times I can forget I’m exercising while I’m having fun playing a game or sport, but it has to be something I’m truly loving and that is rare in my adult life. I’m just not one of those people that is like “woohoo – […]
Weekly Planning Sheet (FREE Printable!)
When I was in the beginning process of creating my own planner, I would just design one week sheets like this and try out different versions. I’d stick the weekly planning sheet into a clipboard and I was ready to organize my week! I took the planner design and used it to create this planning […]
