Embracing Imperfection

My original goal when I started this blogging adventure was to find a way to be held accountable for trying to get myself and the kids organized.  I think that was a noble goal but I’ve realized that all that’s really come out of it is that I’m starting to realize that I’m a littleContinue reading “Embracing Imperfection”

I'm living in THIS?

We just got done with a fabulous visit from Dave’s parents and brother this past weekend.  I tell everyone I meet that I have the world’s best in-laws–it’s the truth.  But what is it about having company that makes you look around your house and ask, “I’ve been living in THIS?”  I mean, I guessContinue reading “I'm living in THIS?”

The Calm Before the Storm

As I sit here at the computer I was struck by how peaceful I actually feel for a minute.  The house is quiet with only two of the six here, dinner is cooking on the stove, the house is clean (alright–my bed isn’t made and there are a few clothes on the tub but it’sContinue reading “The Calm Before the Storm”

Dare I say: progress?

I know that I devised this blog originally as a place to vent my frustration and hold myself accountable for some changes for myself and my children.  And for those of you who have been following along since the beginning of this little journey (and seriously, if you’ve managed to stay with me, props toContinue reading “My Disneyland Epiphany”

Where Did I Put That Kid?

Do you ever feel like you’re losing your mind?  Because most days I feel a little nuts.  Let me explain.  I was over at the school the other day fitting band kids for uniforms and while I can create a super organized system for outfitting 130 marchers I can’t seem to keep track of myContinue reading “Where Did I Put That Kid?”

Criminal Minds–Morgan style

I hate moles.  Almost as much as I hate hot dogs which is saying quite a lot.  Without fail every spring/summer some nefarious mole decides that the Morgan lawn offers up some tasty treats and he reeks havoc on our lawn.  It pretty much makes me crazy.   We did a bunch of research onContinue reading “Criminal Minds–Morgan style”

Are we handing out dollar bills like candy now?

I fear that I may have gotten sidetracked in my journey to get a clean house.  I blame pinterest of course.  As you may recall I  think it’s inspired by the devil and I fell into his trap this last week.  Dave was away at scout camp and so I embarked on the quest toContinue reading “Are we handing out dollar bills like candy now?”
