We are deep in the heart of Mardi Gras season, which means lots of crawfish, parades, and King Cakes. When I’m not overindulging, I’m enjoying time with family and friends, making memories and celebrating everything good about my neck of the woods. In the meantime, here’s a round up of the things I’m into this week, […]
So, I have a knife problem. Other than a giant knife block of my fancy-schmancy knives, I also have several miscellaneous knives floating around my kitchen that I refuse to part with. A while ago, I posted about this magnetic strip, which I like, and seemed to be a great solution for us. However, that […]
When it comes to time management and organization for my family, I’ve tried just about everything. Planners inevitably end up lost in the black hole that is my purse…if I ever remember to carry a purse in the first place. I’ve also tried computer programs, but the time and effort of booting up my laptop […]
JC Penney is offering FREE haircuts for kids through the entire month of August. After selling my soul for the cost of school clothes, shoes, and supplies (remember the $20 pens and the lime notebook?), free haircuts were a much-needed blessing. My poor scraggly boys no longer look like they got beat in their heads […]
Bean is six weeks old today! After spending a fortune on baby stuff, we’re getting an idea of what we love, what was a waste of money and what we couldn’t live without. Let me tell ya a little bit about this: This was the best $15 I spent. When I first bought this timer […]
Last week, we took the Heathens to the local library so that G-Man could select a biography for his upcoming book report. While we were there, I perused the cookbook section for some fresh ideas. I love my Kindle, but when it comes to cookbooks, I need the real thing. Why? Well, I guess it […]
This is what my husband got me for Christmas: Yep, it’s a Kindle Fire, and I love it. Since I have my pretty-pink-laptop, I was not really in the market for anything as fancy as iPad, though it sure did look cool. First, iPads were a smidgen out of our budget, and even if they […]
With heat and humidity creeping back into our weather, I had hoped to do a little something with my hair that didn’t involve cutting or perpetual ponytails. My poor hair is a freak-show. Up until I had kids, it was super-straight, and could not hold a curl to save its’ life. Back in the 80’s, […]
As my husband was working on our repurposed Kuerig-cup seed project this weekend, my camera started acting pretty twitchy. And after a very short amount of time, twitchy became non-functional. After I finished hyperventilating, I finally gathered the mental wherewithal to check Google for an answer to my cameral dilemma. In very short order, I […]
I have a confession to make. I am soooo addicted to Moleskine notebooks. In fact, at this moment, I have one in my desk at work, one in my purse and a couple floating around my house. I fill these notebooks with all kinds of random notes, song lyrics and whatever other drivel is […]
