Finish It Friday - My Job

Katie 1:57 PM 0 Comments

Egads, it's Friday already! This week has been swamped with actual for money, work! I know..unbelievable. While I really enjoy the work that I do for kgb_, it has frustrated me a lot this week to not really get any unpacking done or anything organized and put away. I am really going to have to work on a much better routine...

Wow..it's Thursday. This week is flying by with all of the work hours that I've been putting in. It hasn't left me a lot of time for unpacking but it has given me some time to think about some new ideas and projects that I'd like to tackle. I'm not going to tell you about them quite yet, though.I will, however, tell my...

Tackle It Tuesday - Kids?

Katie 2:05 PM 0 Comments

I would love to be able to tell you that I am tackling something great, like organizing my kitchen, but I'm just not. I woke up this morning totally exhausted and feeling like this was going to be one long day. I did get my morning routine done, boxes hauled to the garage (only 6 or so today) and went and got the mail...

Menu Plan Monday

Katie 1:26 PM 0 Comments

Ok, I know that it's Tuesday, but yesterday was a rough day round here. I actually got up early with all these good intentions and was doing pretty good with them. I was just finishing up measuring out the dough for my first loaf of bread (ever!) when I heard Roger calling me from the living room saying that Ben needed...

Finish It Friday - A Slow Day?

Katie 1:15 PM 0 Comments

Today's finish it project is actually really easy. Yesterday, I unpacked 7 boxes in the kitchen..yes, 7 and yes, there are still more in there. I see some decluttering appearing in my future. But, for today, the project is really simple. Three of the boxes that I unloaded yesterday contained all my glass stemware. Of course,...

Time for Me Thursday - A Good Book

Katie 4:18 PM 0 Comments

I didn't forget, I swear! Ok, it did slip my mind. The boys and I got busy today and we unpacked 5 more boxes in the kitchen -- 2 boxes of cookbooks (all shelved) and 3 boxes of my wine glasses, crystal candle holders and such. They've been in storage for 2 years and desperately all need to be washed. Eewwww. Then, we...

Wordless Wednesday - Our Side Garden

Katie 11:27 AM 1 Comments

Here we are, another Wednesday and I have such a fun picture this week. But first, I have to confess that yesterday totally got away from me and I didn't get hardly any of that laundry tackled. It was just one of those days around here. The kids were having one of their "needy" days, constantly wanting my attention and...

Tackle It Tuesday - Laundry Continued

Katie 12:57 PM 1 Comments

I can hear it now..but you did laundry last week, all last week! Yep, I did and while I titled this laundry, it is slightly different. I'm not lugging baskets down to the laundry room and back up. All those baskets..and all their contents are in my bedroom. Well, that's not quite accurate. Most of the towels were put away...

Ahh..the Weekend...

Katie 1:00 PM 0 Comments

It's been a hectic, cleaning filled week but I am so proud to say that we got everything on our lists accomplished. The house may not look different to someone who hadn't been in it before, but my gosh, we can see the differences. In fact, the scrapbooker in me insists that I go around later today and take updated pictures...

Time for Me Thursday - Tears

Katie 1:58 PM 0 Comments

Tears may seem like such an odd thing to have for a Time for Me Thursday, but today they're just what I need. Ever since Mid-April, I've had all this emotion that I've been bottling up inside of me so that I could get things accomplished. Last night, I realized that the dam was about to break. It was starting to leak and...

Tackle It Tuesday - Laundry!

Katie 1:50 PM 2 Comments

Wow, my blogging skills are rusty! I'm still not sure that I got this image in correctly. I might have to go back and tweak it. It is tough though to focus when one of your children is on your bed growling at the other one. Geez! It's no wonder it sometimes takes me ages to get anything done. Right now, I'm trying to write...

And...We're Back!

Katie 1:22 PM 1 Comments

So, did you miss me? Well, I certainly missed everyone and I very much missed blogging. The last month or so has been insane. The move ended up taking two trips and I just keep wondering how it is that I own all this/had this much in that apartment. Truth be told, a good chunk of it was in storage so sometimes opening...
