Many of you – like me – long for great tools to help YOU stay on top of all of your responsibilities – be it family & home, work & play, appointments and events, cleaning & maintenance. Finding the PERFECT system can be challenging. A lot of moms are finding their way by building a… read more »
Wow – it’s already been a week, and Works for Me Wednesday is BACK! I have to say again – and I’ve touched on this before – that finding my sanity in homekeeping comes down to Minimum Maintenance. For me, Minimum Maintenance are those housekeeping necessities that not only are NECESSARY, but contribute to MY… read more »
Have you ever been to one of those kids’ plays or concerts where the one kid right out in front is bellowing at the top of his/her voice all the words to every song – but always off key? It makes for some good laughs, but when it happens in real life – every day… read more »

I’ve tried the Flylady – more than once – and even though her… read more »

Sure our clothes might change colors, but think about how the caffeine would affect our, ahem, cellulite! When I’m brave enough to make my own soap, I think I’ll use coffee grounds as an exfoliant! Speaking of dirty… read more »
As a mom, you probably wear many different hats – chef, taxi driver, maid, home keeper, schedule coordinator, planner, assistant, organizer – and more. Do you ever wear more than one hat at a time? Do you ever wish you had more time in the day? Well, since that’s not possible, you just have to… read more »
Christin, at Journey to A Gracious Woman featured this meme of sorts on her blog last week and I was intrigued.
