A.) The people of Walmart aren’t nearly as interesting at 6:30a.m. That’s mostly because there are no people at Walmart at that un-Godly hour. 2.) Today is our first annual Water/Family activity day/Unbirthday Party. Our day includes anything and everything the kids could come up with including, but not limited to: Water balloons games, baking [...]
I haven’t done a Messy Monday for quite some time. But my sister came to visit last week, saw the mess at the bottom of the stairs and declared, “Whoa! Can you say Messy Monday?” She’s my inspiration this morning! Let me explain a bit. A couple of months ago, I got all excited about [...]
I haven’t done a Messy Monday in a while, but I thought it was time. I don’t know about your house, but my house throws up every Sunday. No matter how hard I try, with the kids all home and being in and out for sports, the house explodes. Yesterday, I decided not to worry [...]
I have a weakness. Ok, so I have a lot of weaknesses. But my Achilles heel is paper. Any kind of paper sends me right over the edge. The kids bring piles of it home from school. The mail piles up and my piles to file get larger and larger until it’s unbearable. And it’s [...]
If you were a small child with a gazillion cool geodes, where would you store them? Outside? In a box in the garage? How about your bedroom, neatly tucked away? Well, you might, but my children choose the formal living room to store theirs. They must think it adds to the decor somehow, to have [...]
Shoes. How they vex me. It’s mostly the children’s shoes that are driving me bonkers. They still haven’t grasped the concept of “put the shoes in the basket”. So when it’s time to leave, I have no less than two children searching high and low for shoes to wear. One of them is ALWAYS Miss [...]
There’s a saying in my house that goes like this, “I don’t know, take it to the basement.” Ahhh, the basement. The place where all random crap goes. The place where things get lost and the cats go potty. But even though the basement is the dumping ground for all the things I don’t know [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve done a Messy Monday. But after last week, I knew I had to post some pictures and tell a story or two. The other day I went to get out some scissors to cut open an icy-pop and I found this: This drawer is where I keep the scissors [...]
I don’t know about you, but despite the pampering, (or lack thereof) there is little cleaning up that occurs. And one thing that I refuse to do on Mother’s Day is clean. So I just leave it alone, knowing it will all still be there tomorrow. And guess what? I was right! I didn’t clean [...]
We are on vacation!! (Yay for being able to schedule posts!) But prior to leaving, packing is required. I must say that packing is one of those times when having a larger than average family is very noticeable. Packing for six kids and two adults is a logistical nightmare. This time, it took me two [...]
