Given my kids propensity to raid the pantry (and dump its contents), I’ve found myself with two whole boxes of cheerios that I dare not eat (I know where it’s been and it isn’t pretty!). So, I’ve been pondering the last few days the best way to use dirty cheerios. Here are my top 10 ideas: […]

Floor obsession
This is yet another post about our floors. I’m not a particularly strict housecleaner, but lately I am sweeping the floor 2 or 3 times a day – completely out of necessity. Why is it that two little kids can track in so much dirt, spread cheerios a mile wide, and crush crackers so fine […]
The perpetual dirty floor
Today I attempted to vacuum by getting the kids “entertained” with toys in the kitchen while I vacuumed their rooms. When I came back to the kitchen this is what I found: Does it count as cleaning if the house is in worse shape afterwards? And how come the only time they cooperate is when […]

Ringing in the season
For the first time ever, we have decorated for Christmas early this year. “Early” meaning right after Thanksgiving rather than 2 weeks into December. Last year, we never even got around to decorating the tree (although it was quite nice with just white lights). DH got the lights up outside on Thanksgiving day! Every year, our neighbor comes […]

Pumpkin cookie bakeoff
This blog has limited most of its content to registered users. Please login to view full content. I’ve had a hankering the last week or so for pumpkin, chocolate chip cookies. So I did an internet search and found two promising recipes, so I’ve decided to do a bake-off. This first recipe is adapted from […]
Best ROI Ever!
Today, DS pulled a soda cup (with lid & straw) out of the trashcan. I probably would have usually pulled it away and put it back in the trash, but he was having so much fun with it. Putting the straw in and out. Taking the lid on and off. That one piece of trash […]
Crashing
I don’t usually get political on this blog. It’s meant to be fun, if not for anyone else, at least for me. So for those thinking that this is going to be a rant about today’s stunning drop in the market, and government’s role in it all, well, prepare to be disappointed. I have to […]
It’s the bomb
This week for preschool we are singing the Hickory Dickory Dock song a lot. To go along with the song, I found a cute craft idea to make a clock and mouse. Here’s what we made out of household trash. DD loves the mouse! And it was fun to make. DH, however, saw it and […]
