UPDATED: This contest is closed. Congratulations to our winner, Joanne Schultz!! This is not my kitchen: And this is not my family room: But I wish they were. I have never gotten a good handle on decorating or design, and so I was thrilled to hear about Debbie Wiener’s book Slob Proof! Real-Life Design Solutions….
St. Eve Kids *Cozy* Giveaway!
Updated: This giveaway is closed. The winner is commenter #14, Safire. Congrats!! Who doesn’t enjoy getting warm and cozy, curling up on the couch, and reading a book or watching a movie on a cold Winter evening? I know I love it. And so do my kids. We’re a cuddly family, and our couch is…
WordPress vs Blogger
It has been a month and a half since I made the switch from Blogger to WordPress, and I continue to get questions about how I have enjoyed the switch. I wanted to give myself some time to get used to the ins and outs of WordPress before giving my opinions on the differences between…
What is Fishful Thinking?
While we are all working hard relaxing and taking it easy this weekend, I thought it would be nice to share this new Fishful Thinking overview with you. Most of my regular readers know that I am a Fishful Thinking faculty mom, but some of you newer or first time readers may not have heard…
A Nine-Year-Old’s To-Do List
I was cleaning up the family room just now and found this to-do list. Number eight and thirteen (and the fact that he was completely serious) were so funny, I had to share: I can’t wait to see how he completes his list. What would be on YOUR kids’ to-do list?

It drives me crazy when people put my toilet paper roll on backwards. You can head to https://www.cottonellerollpoll.com to see…
The World May Never Know….
What is the answer to that age-old question? How many licks DOES it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? Have you ever tried to find out the answer? This weekend, I over-heard my teenage daughter talking on the phone with her friend. She said, in all seriousness, “I was…
Not Me
Now that we’re back to our normal schedule of school, work, and all that fun stuff, I am happy to report that I did not sleep in past 8:00 every morning for the last 2 weeks. I totally stayed on my schedule of waking up at 6:20. I am not one of those lazy vacation…
