laundry

So, I let the laundry get away from me.  Again.  Shocking, I know.  It was to the point that I just despaired of ever getting it done. The thing is…most of that laundry wasn’t mine, and I really wanted help with it, you know?  But, if I shrunk back in despair at the size of [...]

Today, I’m going to be really honest and share something embarrassing with you.  All  I can say is, “Judge not…lest ye be judged.”  Okay? Anyway, here goes: This…. is what my plastic container cabinet looked like when I woke up this morning.  A complete disaster.  You know the kind, right?  Cabinets that you have to [...]

Life’s a zoo…

donkeys?  really?

Or at least mine is. These were roaming around our front yard earlier this week. Who needs a new lawn mower? This little guy visits on a regular basis: I’m trying to decide what to call him. We also see a lot of these: This one’s name is John.  No, I’m not joking. I’ve spent [...]

Confession time:  This is what my sink looked like Saturday morning:   Please, don’t judge me….at least the dishes were done.  Anyway, when the tarnished state of our sink finally struck me I had nothing to clean it with…no Comet, no Softscrub, nothing.  Then I thought of this: So I sprinkled (okay, poured) some in [...]

Let’s face it:  there’s not much that doesn’t just look better with a bow.  It’s the easiest way to turn a simple sugar cookie into a pretty present.

Why all cooking utensils should be made of metal….

so that when you drop them on a hot burner, they don’t melt.  Ask me how I know….or better yet, guess.

Thursday Thoughts: “Prioritizing not just the good, but the goal…”

I don’t know about you, but I find there are a lot of “good” things I could do…maybe even “should” do. Problem is: I can’t do them all. In fact, these days, I can’t do even half of them. And, I usually try. Or feel guilty. Or both. But today, I was reading my “Jesus: [...]
