I love this picture. It reminds me of my boys. Ben loves frogs and collects stuffed ones. When the boys were little, I saw them hug each other like this more than once. It always makes me smile. Peter picked them early today so I'm missing them a little extra. It warmed my heart to hear them both say that they weren't...

Since last week's tip on how to lower your electric bill seemed to be a bit of a hit, I thought I'd give you a few other ways to help keep it down, especially since a good chunk of us have our furnaces running which always runs up those winter heating/electric bills.1) If you have a computer at home (and I'm guessing most...

Happy Thursday, all! Another week has zoomed by and before we know it, the weekend will be here. Have y'all taken time out for yourself yet this week? I confess that I really haven't. I've been fighting technology to get stuff done and working on getting my poor living room in order. I'm happy to report that the only boxes...

Whew! The laptop finally cooperated enough that I could get in here and post this. I did make the mistake of watching A Baby Story on TLC (it was what was on when I turned on the tv while the laptop figured itself out). Now, I'm having a huge case of baby lust. It might also have something to do with the fact that my baby,...

Wow, it's only just before 4 and I really want a nap. I think it's a combination of the cold and stress and shopping. It's chilly here, but really that goes without saying. I live in the North, it's s'posed to be chilly. I'm stressed because on my way to the boys' school today, my van stalled out at a stop sign and I...

What is it about cold days that make you sleepy? Is it some minor version of hypothermia setting in? I don't know but yesterday was a beautiful nearly 50 degrees and today it hasn't gotten above 32..brrrr! They're talking more snow which isn't surprising since it's still January, but honestly, I could live without it....

Woohoo! I did it! I finished cleaning the boys room today even though my back was trying to be naughty. I have to say that I am so proud of me and I am feeling so good right now. I knew I was capable of doing this and I've done it. This just means that the only space still to be done upstairs is the landing and it will...

Wow, it's Friday already. This week flew by! I guess that's what happens when you keep busy and productive. I feel really good. It always amazes me what a clean space can do to my mood. It shouldn't. I mean, after all, it really is my dream job to teach people exactly that. I would like to have a therapy type practice...

I think this is the cleanest my bedroom has been since I moved in and I just love how it looks. I slept so well last night. I can't wait until every room in my house looks this...

Wow, why didn't anyone tell me that being productive made you sleepy? I spent the past two days working on my bedroom and I am thrilled to say that it's 97% done. I'm still tackling the laundry monster and I need Roger's help to get under the bed. Everything else is done and I have a beautiful tidy sanctuary.Today, I'm...

Life is a matter of perspectives, I've found. I received a note this afternoon from Peter requesting that I take down my post entitled "A Different Kind of Birthday." I won't be taking it down because for me, it needed to be written. I will, however, write this post. I don't know if it will sooth his anger with me, but...

Wow, am I sleepy today. I'm not sure why other than the fact that being productive when you haven't been for a while takes some getting used to. Yesterday, by doing just a quick skim through my clothing, I got rid of an entire garbage bag of clothes. I know that as the week continues, there will be even more added to that....
