Tossing My Crackers

Who knew? That little expiration date on the saltine cracker box really does mean something! I opened prepared my delicious cream of tomato soup and reached for the saltines (which, in my defense, I rarely eat). I took one out, expecting the really predictable, salty crunch. Instead, I tasted almost-rancid cardboard. It was all very [...]

Sometimes you just have to say, I’m going to give this a shot!
Several months ago, I was surfing, looking for At-Home business ideas that might involve writing. I stumbled across an article on businessknowhow.com about writing letters from Santa to children as a small, home-based business. Santa needs ghost writers…Who knew? I thought this sounded [...]

Good morning afternoon! Hope your coffee is delicious.
I have been missing in action–due to life. Sound familiar? The biggest project for me (and my siblings) has been helping to organize and pack my parents’ belongings (actually, a fraction of them), to move from their current home to a new one. The new home is in [...]

Remember to Laugh!

I had a great childhood. Big, loud family, happy home, and lots of laughter. I was thinking about how this made our house a fun place for us and for everybody else, too! It wasn’t mean-spirited (usually ); it just WAS. And it made for a great way to grow up.

LinkWithin–My Editor

I added a cool plugin today (LinkWithin), and I must confess, was feeling sort of glowy and tingly with my accomplishment, when I discovered that I had already written a post about decoupage!

Company Girl Coffee

Inviting a friend over is a good thing, but if you are like me, you feel like you have to work your tail off to have everything perfect before you pick up the phone.

Ahh…Summer. A change of pace. A chance to relax and rejuvenate. When my children were younger, I confess to not always being really excited about not having school for almost three months. Though I loved them dearly, after about six weeks of unstructured time, we were all ready for a routine [...]

Finishing School

Unfinished projects…I have a few. Some are hidden deep in a closet. Some are stashed in baskets and drawers. And some are in full view on my dining room table. (I keep thinking the guilt of a messy dining room will inspire me to action…Apparently, I am not motivated by guilt.)

The problem is knowing where [...]

You know when that tiny popcorn husk-thing gets stuck between two of your teeth, and it just about drives you over the brink? (That sounds a little like a Roseann Roseanna Danna bit.) Well, I have things like that that bug me in my home, as well.
I’m pretty easy-going and can stand quite [...]

Reviving Your Mantle

Does your house feel a little…well, stale? I am there.
My husband and I have lived in our home for almost nine years. (I can’t believe it!) After moving five times in 11 years, I think we have finally put down some roots. (Although we have learned that anything can happen…) We are now to the [...]
