Grocery shopping can be a chore and incredibly frustrating if you go unprepared.

If you want to get the most for your money, you need to do a few key things before you go shopping:

So Many Books...So Many Colors

A task for the kid-less weekend…

Yep. What do I do when the girls are at their grandparents and my wonderful spouse is at work?Organize our book shelf by color! Yes, I’m weird. (And just in case you think I’m nuts too, I also took walks and had lots of time to write.)

I’d seen this long ago on some blog and thought, “Now that would really improve our bookshelf.” I’m always searching for ways to simplify things in our home since clutter and mess really…

Moving House

So we finally bit the bullet and are moving house. The thought of it is overwhelming – so much crap to be sorted, packed or purged. With six kids, I know you can imagine just how much crap we’re talking here. Adding further stress is the prospect of making our current house look nice enough that some other family will want to buy it.

Getting our house sale-ready will be a big job. My kids have left their marks – on the… Continue

Making Resolutions a Reality

One year I was fed up with making resolutions and not seeing them through, so I renamed them goals. Which, of course, is what they are, but I was disguising them as something else thinking that I might be able to actually accomplish something by renaming them.

So, now I am back to calling them what they rightly should be - Resolutions. As I think back over the last 5 years only one year stands out as a year that 3 of the 5 resolutions were accomplished. That was the year that I… Continue
