Tips, Solutions and Humor for Moms
I had a vision — for my office. I thought that if I made it fresh and fun that I would write there and be inspired to create with abandon. I got a Mac, a cute desk I painted green and hung a cork board. Where do I work? At our messy black desk on the main [...]
It’s spring break, so my husband took the day off of work and we decided to take the kids to see Rock City in Lookout Mountain, Ga. Here are a few pictures. The swinging bridge. We even ran into the Easter Bunny. (My kids now think the Easter Bunny lives at Rock City.) A good time [...]
I know you are supposed to avoid using plastic bags, but I still end up with them. A lot of them. So I am always looking for new ways to utilize them. Here are several ways I currently use them. #1 - Use them in small garbage cans in your house. I actually have a special [...]
I’m not proud of this, but it makes me laugh. My son wanted a cool band-aid and I didn’t have any.

Holy cow do I make my share of bad decisions as a mom, but every now and again I do something right. I wrote a post around Valentine’s Day (The Card Is In the Mail – P.S. I Love You) about getting my kids little mailboxes and writing them notes so they get some “mail.” By doing [...]
