Twelve days until I go back to work. I know about pregnancy nesting. There must be “going back to work” nesting as well. So far today I have: wiped down door handles and door frames cleaned the glass in the patio door made bread with LM organized the spices cooked a new recipe added additional [...]
I have been writing this post in my head for the last eight weeks. The title New Mom Necessities is a bit of a misnomer, really. Obviously, the only absolutely necessary items for a baby are some type of covering and food. These are things that I have found extremely helpful that may or may [...]
All I can say is “it is about time.” SRA Develops TV-Volume Leveler. I absolutely hate watching commercials, and I cannot stand how much louder they are than the television program. Also, why is it that all of the channels go to commercial at the same time? We have 100+ channels, and all of them [...]
Holy cow, LM started preschool today. I know it is only one half day a week, but I can’t help but feel we have started down the slippery slope of snacks, fundraisers, and a deluge of crafts. I have been assigned my snack days and have typed in all of the appropriate colors for each [...]

If my math is right, that leaves 7. Seven very pesky, difficult-to-lose pounds. I have eighteen days left until I go [...]
First, let me say that I never expected this task to take so long. I thought I could just go to a few sites and get what we needed. Nor did I expect this post to be so long either. Along with getting our financial house in order, I have had on the “to do” [...]
…is totally disgusting.
Well, we all survived the family yard sale. It was busy, hot, and we even made some (a little) money. IF we do it again, here are some things we learned: Do as much of the pricing beforehand. Price every individual item if at all possible. Make sure the prices on the items are correct. [...]
Seriously, Adam and Dennis from the Winchester Habitat for Humanity ReStore just made me day…maybe even my week. I called to see if they would be interested in having the cabinets that have been taking up the ENTIRE garage for over a MONTH. He said, “I’ll be there in fifteen minutes.” Are you kidding…fifteen minutes. [...]
What an absolutely fabulous day! Pic from our recent trip to the Outer Banks. Off to the library…
