Doing It Wrong, Intentionally
I’m a big fan of doing things efficiently and competently. I don’t like to waste my time, and I certainly don’t like it when other people waste my time. Alas, I have children, so time gets wasted. But I do appreciate hacks, tips, tricks, and other inventive methods that make life just a little easier. […]

Downshifting
If I were going to use one word to describe myself it would be “efficient.” (Sexy, huh?) I’m competent. I get things done. I want systems to work, and I’m always tweaking processes to make them better. And I like lists. Recently, we’ve entered what we’ll call a doubleplusbusy season of life. (Hello, fall!) We’re […]

Terrible Tuesday: Having an Epiphany
Feast, that is. January 6 is the Feast of the Epiphany, the celebration of the visit of the Magi to the baby Jesus. Or more likely toddler Jesus, who must have been thrilled with Frankincense. We normally try to have some sort of feast with friends, but we’ve been having trouble with lift-off the past […]

While a chunk of change would make my organization plans easier and more fun, it’s really superfluous. For my girls’ room, the main thing is removing all the excess […]

The Fridge Project
I haven’t disappeared, just busy with family stuff. Now I have to get busy with house stuff and garden stuff. I have a project to get my kitchen cleaned and decluttered by week’s end. (We’re also getting the girl’s room ready to paint, so I may be overly ambitious. It wouldn’t be the first time.) […]

Cool links
Of all my domestic duties, I enjoy cooking most. (And laundry least, but that’s another post.) I’m always trying to find a way to keep our food expenses low and our food quality (i.e. health and tastiness) high. The Grocery Game helps me keep my grocery bill low. So what if you are on the […]

Found It!
I’ve been wanting to “green” my cleaning, so I’ve been searching for recipes for various cleaning products. (Yes, you can buy eco-friendly products, but I’m also notoriously cheap. Er, frugal. So there’s that.) Coincidentally, the Deputy Headmistress posted updates to this laundry soap recipe. Pretty basic: fels-naptha, borax, washing soda. Check, check, not check. I […]
