Smart Habit Saturday

To wrap up May, I would have to say that I did…average. I usually got about 3 days a week in which wasn’t quite my goal, but it was more than the 0 or 1 day a week I had been doing so I guess that’s an improvement. I didn’t do as well [...]

The new and improved “Jake’s room”

For the month of May, I have been cleaning out and “redoing” Jacob’s room for the Organizing Roundup over at I’m an Organizing Junkie..and I really am beginning to think that Laura is a woman after my own heart…
So without further ado, I present to you Jake’s room…

It didn’t occur to me to take BEFORE [...]

This is from the Dale Chihuly Fireworks of Glass exhibit at the [...]

We’re baaaack!

We had a great time, but I’m pretty sure something happened to my equilibrium while we were on the ship because I swear everything around me is moving even when I’m sitting still…
I came back to:

363 posts to read
93 e-mails to go through (even after we checked e-mail once on the ship)
4 bags to unpack [...]

Get ‘em out by Friday!

Here is the third question that Michelle asked
How do you find time to be in shows with young children?
This is a really good question.
Sometimes doing theatre, well…it can be tough. Before kids, Dave and I would do 5 or 6 shows a year between the 2 of us. We just went from show [...]

Thursday afternoon, I wish I was sleepin’…

Today, our question comes from the elusive Zany Mama who is evidently on bedrest for what will hopefully be the last 6 weeks of her pregnancy. Which I’m sure is why she was able to come up with such a deep, philosophical question…
When was the last time you followed your intuition fully…even if the [...]
