This weekend we’re getting ready to visit my future mother-in-law. These trips are always a nice break from the every day for us, but they also highlight one rather crucial shortcoming in my life: I am not a cleaner. I don’t do the dishes after every meal. I do not sweep daily. I do not wash, dry, hang or …
Sometimes when life hands you lemons, you should make lemonade. Sometimes you should use them to do other things: like lighten your hair or make your garbage disposal smell better. Because even though sometimes lemons are sour, if life’s out there on a street corner handing them out for free, you should never turn that …
Rice is great if you’re really hungry and want to eat two-thousand of something (Mitch Hedberg said that), but did you know there’s a lot of other things you can do with rice other than use it for food? Yeah, we’ve probably all thrown a wet phone into a bag of rice to try to …
If you’re a stay-at-home mom, I’m probably not going to tell you anything new, but being a stay-at-home mom can suck. Don’t get wrong, tending to home and family is rewarding both emotionally and spiritually. Plus, you get to binge watch GLOW while you Pledge the china cabinet. But there is a lot more that …
To start with, this post is probably going to make me look horrible. I swear I’m not. I love my kids. I love my husband. I love love love my family with all of my life and every fiber of my being. But…sometimes it’s a bit much. I mean, the whole family and life and …
We may never solve the question of what happens to socks in the dryer that turns them from a pair to singletons, but that’s okay…because those single socks can be super useful on their own! Just ask Dobby the House Elf. I mean, all it took was one sock to free him from a lifetime …
My refrigerator gets completely trashed from time to time. I have four kids if that explains anything! I can hear the door opening and closing and opening and closing which means that activity is happening. That activity (which although I’m happy they are all do-it-yourselfers) really makes a mess. So when I saw this Press-N-Seal …
Springtime, for a lot of people, is their anthesis. It’s like their brains and bodies reawaken after a winter of slumber and they ache and claw toward putting their lives back in an orderly fashion. For me, not so much. I’m a fall gal. In fact, you could say I prep for Halloween year round: …

My husband does all the housework. All of it. Why? Well, aside from the fact that he’s perfectly awesome in every way, he does it because someone has to do it. It’s not always fun, and he would definitely rather be playing video games or something more fun, but he does it for our family. …
Being pregnant is tough work by itself. But regular life (and the chores that chores that come with it) does not stop upon conception. Nope. Still gotta wipe down counter tops and toilets. While making a baby. Great. Oh, and avoid chemicals and whatnot so you don’t a) puke and b) get exposed to something …
There’s nothing I hate more than cleaning before a holiday party-or just cleaning in general. And cleaning the floors can be the worst chore of them all! I’m not kidding. My floor took notes from this floor-then they shared a cry-session. That’s why I hunted the internet-verse and found these 10 Floor Cleaning Hacks I Can’t …
Okay, so yesterday I was emotional… but today I am overwhelmed. Now that Hal is on the mend, I keep looking around the house, and there is just so much to be done! For starters, my cleaning lady quit. She got a job and isn’t able to clean our house anymore. At first I was …
