August 2, 2010

Welcome back to Mom’s No Chaos Zone!Don’t ask why there’s an empty aquarium in the living room… I told my daughter to make sure the cage clips were secure.  Do teens tend to listen to their parents?

Sometimes you just have to start fresh

April 30, 2010

Rebooting….. Have you ever felt like you’ve been sideswiped by life? That’s where I am right now and it’s totally knocked me out of whack. Part of it is there have been major changes in our family that have made our old way of doing things not work anymore so it’s back to the old [...]

Laundry

April 28, 2010

And you thought you had laundry issues! Laundry for a family can seem like a never ending chore.  There’s always something in the hamper. But y’know, it could be worse!  You could have to wash over 100 horse soldiers’ grubby clothes with one of these like the laundresses of Fort Scott.  This picture was taken [...]

Lest Anyone think I Have it All Together…

February 22, 2010

My ugly frog last Thursday was in front of our garage.   Our trash seems to be a sort of night club for every cat in a 1/4 mile radius and they have wild trash shredding parties in the wee hours of the night.  I think they’ve recruited a thug raccoon to open our cans [...]

Life Balance – what is it?

February 11, 2010

What do I even mean when I say “life balance” – or just “balance” for short?  The word balance has gotten some bad press. It can bring up images of secular, new agey, weird pop psychology stuff that a lot of us don’t really want to be associated with.  I’m not going to go into [...]

Morning Routine

January 26, 2010

Studies have shown that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It affects our energy level, metabolism, focus ability, and health.
