I have four boys. I want my future daughters-in-law to like me. Therefore, my boys need to be fairly self sufficient and need to know how to clean up after themselves. Â That requires training. Â Training is not fun. (But it’s worth it in the long run.) My sons need to grow up to be self-reliant, […]
The one where the dog messes up my “After” photos.
There is no need to hit the garden center to change up your flower pots. Â Just give them a quick coat of paint! I have two flower pots that have layer upon layer of spray paint on them. Â I dump the plants, paint the pots a new color for the new season, then replant them. […]
A Zebra Striped Pumpkin. (More fun pumpkin crafts.)
OK, I told ya I was on a pumpkin binge right now. I made a flannel covered pumpkin, a punker pumpkin, some pumpkin house numbers and now… Â a Zebra Striped Pumpkin. Â I may, in fact, have a bit of a pumpkin problem. Thanks to zebra print duct tape, this entire process took me about 3 […]
The one where I realize the little guy sees, hears and retains everything his big brothers say and do.

Can UPS deliver some fashion sense…?
My guys (all of ’em) seem to have trouble putting together a decent outfit. Things I have said: That doesn’t match… you can’t wear stripes and plaids…Â yes, but your shoes don’t go with that… your shirt is on inside-out…Â I don’t care if the colors match! Basketball shorts and a button down shirt don’t […]
Make a leather studded punk Pumpkin for Halloween. (“Mom…? Why did you make an S&M pumpkin…?”)
Um, excuse me!? Â First of all, where did you hear about S&M…???!!! Â Second, it is NOT an S&M pumpkin… It’s a Punk-In. Â Some black paint, leather, studs and safety pins are all you need to add a punk edge to your Halloween decor. Actually, it doesn’t feel as punk as it does sort of Edward […]
