Yesterday we had our very first “accidental post”. The publish and save buttons are really close. There is no way to come back from that. Wait. I mean… yesterday we sent you a “teaser” for today’s post. Yea. We meant to do that. Today’s post is a fun way to help your child learn their phone number or even dial 911. First, […]
Easy Last Minute Valentine Idea
Sometimes my week does not go well. We’re practically living in the car, or I have something to do every night. Maybe you’re just now thinking…Hmmm. What’s on for tomorrow? Wait. What? Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day? I mean, you knew it was but you’re not ready. Those holidays can sneak up on you. If you have waited until the last-minute for a […]
Costco Take-N-Bake Makeover
This is what my family ate for dinner tonight. Gourmet take- out? No. It’s a reassembled Costco pepperoni pizza. For a change of pace we’ll remove the pepperoni on all or part of the pizza. It tastes completely different (even better) especially when you add some vegetables. This makes dinner a quick fix and you’re less ridden with the guilt trip that comes […]
You’re Welcome!
If you don’t know what Halo Heaven is, you have been missing out. I have little girls and let’s just say, that when I found this goldmine, I was more than thrilled. Don’t stop reading if you have boys. This place has got them covered too. My sister teaches preschool. Last year she and her co-teacher […]
Nostalgic DIY Bracelet
Years ago my grandmother passed away. I was eleven or twelve years old at the time. A little while later we went to visit my grandpa and he gave me a necklace that belonged to my grandmother. It was a broken strand of pearls. I don’t think they were real but they were nice. He also gave me some sweaters that […]
Age Spot Prevention. Yes Please.
I took the above picture on my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. My mother wanted to duplicate the photograph of the pose taken on their wedding day. Not too bad-looking for people in their seventies. But despite my mother’s graceful aging, she was stopped by a cashier (older than she) to tell her how to prevent age spots. (Thank […]
Hula Hoop Hideout
O.k. I know you can see a hand holding up our hoola hoop hide out. Still, it’s a great idea. Made with a hoola hoop and a group of three long draperies or even cloth shower curtains. Hit the clearance aisle and see what you can find. This hide out is “take downable” which I love. It can be […]
Tailor To Your Needs Car Kit
Have you ever looked in your rearview mirror and caught a glimpse of an unsightly facial hair? The lighting is so perfect in your car. One of those “OH MY WORD, AM I BLIND!? How did I miss that getting ready today….and yesterday…. and I guess all this month. Anyway. No problem because I have made an emergency car […]
Squeaky Clean
I am always looking for ways to save money. When I came across this recipe for a bathroom cleaner, I was immediately interested. Even though I was using environmentally friendly products, they were leaving too strong a scent. I have two children with asthma and have been using vinegar to clean my house since. […]
All Aboard!
“All aboard!” It’s the Kleenex Box Express (and you were just going to put them in the recycle bin). It’s winter time. Don’t you have a box of tissue in every room of your house? Even if you don’t, you could buy three or four boxes of Kleenex, save the tissues and make a train for under […]
