I love sun-dried tomatoes. In salads, in sauces, on sandwiches… seriously on just about anything. We did NOT have a bumper crop of tomatoes this past year (bummer) but the little grape tomatoes frequently go on sale at the grocery store. I buy 3 or 4 boxes at a time. Sometimes I use them quickly… […]
A quick, easy repair for shower liners. (And a chance to win some cool home decor.)
Can someone please explain to me why boys are hard on everything? Everything they touch seems to get banged up, ripped, torn, rumpled, bruised or dirty. (Sometimes all at once.) They can’t even seem to open or close a shower curtain without destroying it. They are constantly pulling down on the curtain and the liner, […]
Pinterest inspiration for a smaller butt.
Can you guess what this is…? It’s in my bedroom… ew. It’s clearly something that hasn’t been tended to in a long time… boo. It’s my treadmill. I finally opened it up yesterday to get my butt moving and was appalled to see the build-up of dust. Shameful. I use Pinterest as a great source […]
Easy ways to organize your Christmas decor and be ready for next year.
Packing up Christmas always makes me feel a little sad. (Also a little tired, there is a lot to pack up.) I have been asked how it is possible to change my color scheme every year… it’s all about color coding and organization, baby! It’s so simple, it’s kinda stupid. Store the decor by color. […]
Summer vacation…. now is the time to start planning for it.
I know, I know, we’re still digging out from underneath Christmas, and are trying to figure out what to wear/do on New Year’s Eve… …but it’s just about time to start planning for summer. I’m serious! Now is a great time to start looking for vacation package deals. Cruises, tours, hotels and airfare all are […]
Make your own Stridex-type cleansing pads.
I have four boys. Three of them are teenagers. (Two of them are extremely active.) None of them are terribly keen on skincare regimens. My good friend Raquel mentioned that she heard of taking ordinary baby wipes and pouring witch hazel over the stack of wipes and using them to wipe down greasy faces. I pondered […]
No more burned tongues! Make hot cocoa ice cubes.
I shared this simple tip over at I {Heart} Naptime last week. It’s an easy way to help keep your little people from getting burned by one of the holiday season’s most common treats: hot cocoa. Have you ever burned your tongue? Of course you have. It hurts, and it would be preventable if you […]
Quick, easy chili that doubles as an ice block. (It’ll make sense in a minute…)
My mom makes really good chili. She shared the recipe with me and I make it a lot, and for sure whenever we go camping. That’s what we eat the first night in camp because I can make it ahead of time and freeze it. Then it does double duty as “ice” in the coolers […]
Now is the time to get ready for your next vacation.
It’s September, but I’ve already started organizing and planning for a camping trip we’re taking next July. Camping is already super economical but with just a bit of planning ahead, it’s even more so. Target, Walmart, sports stores, hardware stores… they’ve all put their camping and outdoor equipment on clearance. If you need them, now is […]
Someone always has to go and be stupid. Best to be prepared for it.
I am a camper. I am a planner. I am organized. I am also mom to 4 boys, and they do stupid things… like throw rocks and crack their little skulls open while playing in creeks. This was on our camping trip 2 years ago. (That was a bumpy trip.) I had not planned to spend […]
