Now that my kids are back in school and my regular schedule has been reestablished, it is time to get some deep cleaning done on my home. Closets get purged, bathrooms get scrubbed from top to bottom, cabinets gets dumped, wiped, rearranged and decluttered. You name it, I start doing it and will spend the …
When I was first thinking of what we would have for supper, I had things on my mind like: Spaghetti, Meatloaf, and Chicken and Broccoli. Then, I realized that that would not do. Seems like we are having the exact same things every single week and I am getting bored. So, I thought I would …
To be honest, for me, it IS back to school. Two of my three left the house at 6:13 this morning. My oldest boy has a couple weeks before he moves into his college dorm. I am sad. I am devastated. I hate getting older, because it means my babies are growing up. Anyway, enough …
Well, it is Monday – that means our vacation is just about over. Tonight is our last night here, then we head home. I am ready to get home, because the thought of all the emails and such that I can’t access or do anything with has my belly kind of icky feeling. On the …

Every so often, you should take the time to shop from your pantry. If you are like me, you have purchased things on sale or because they were part of your menu, but never got around to actually eating them. This week, I am shopping from my pantry. If you have been shopping for the …
I am not a coupon-fanatic. I like to save money and do use coupons on occasion, but I don’t spend hours each week trying to match up my 9000 coupons to save 20 bucks. I just don’t have the time for it, nor do I have the money to buy 5 papers each day and …
Why is this time of the year so insanely busy? It is like everyone suddenly realized that they only have a few weeks left with my kids and need to pack in all the learning and extra-curricular things they can before Summer. LOL! Plus, I realized that I only have a few short weeks without …
