Completely unscientific observation–mudrooms are hands-down the most oft-pinned home decor “room” on Pinterest*. At first blush, I drank the kool-aid and was mindlessly right there with all my fellow pinners, happily clicking on every gorgeous mudroom set-up that came my way. Currently, I am still pinning away and lovin’ on those mudroom pics, but I […]
New Furniture
I (Heart) my new chair…How did I ever become cool enough toown an “accent chair”?!Slightly taken with myself right now, sorry… My dog will never forgive us. He DESPISES change. Here is what happened: our elderly neighbors from our apartment complex of 7 years ago gave us their old recliner before they moved out. Who knows […]
The Most Efficienct
At the Ready My father, in the obsessive time-saving ilk of Cheaper By the Dozen‘s Frank Bunker Gilbreth, oft proported the value of going to bed in one’s clothes for the next day. Not only would this save on laundry (no pajamas to wash), the primary gain would be the efficiency in the morning–no need to get […]
A Man of Piles
So my husband is a Man of Piles. I don’t get it. Sure, I understand not being able to handle everything that comes your way immediately, so you need to toss stuff aside and deal with it later. The baffling aspect of my husband’s technique though, is that he has at least 4 distinct piles […]
The Dull Lull
Usually, I always feel sort of a post-holiday low. All the fun and excitement is past. But then I saw this picture, and suddenly boring wasn’t looking so bad. In fact, it was looking pretty good. In fact, it was looking down-right AWESOME. This picture was taken right before we loaded the van to depart […]
The Party House
Over the weekend, my BIL commented while entering our house, “I feel like I’m in Party City.” At first, I thought he was saying this b/c of the four balloons that were floating in our living room (dropped off as a gift for my son). I then realized that the general level of stimulation in […]
We Need a Dustbuster
My son received a gift of red Moon Dough yesterday. Thinking this would be an excellent tactile distraction for him, I eagerly opened the pack and gave it to him. (This is the point where my wisdom as a mother seriously comes into question). Within approximately 2 seconds, my son, the couch and our carpet […]
The Battery War
My husband hates battery-powered toys. In our house, this results in very few toys that require batteries actually having batteries in them. In general, I am opposed to extraneous noise. I am also a fan of all the blah-blah junk about children using their imaginations, so this is largely okay with me too. But somethings […]
Lemons, Angels, and Sandboxes
I believe there are angels on this earth, and my family has been blessed with more than we can count in the past week. The subject of this particular blog is a woman whom I met for the first time Thurs. morning. Apparently this angel spent time Thurs. night researching activities that my son could […]
A Smoothie for a Toddler
Yesterday I decided to be a hero and make my son a smoothie. My friend, T, suggested that this might be a good way to get his bowels moving since constipation (due to his immobility) is a concern. So armed with fresh fruit, juice, greek yogurt and an awesomely cool Mickey sippy cup with a […]
