I came upon this post from the fine folks at Unclutterer, and, I just thought I’d share it with you: Ending laundry chaos.
Getting a grip on the laundry was my only resolution last year, and, I’m doing a little better with it.

As much as I’d like to think I am utilizing my time wisely trying to make work and life fit together, the fact is that I could probably be more efficient with my home time every now and then.

We love animals at our house.
Though we are down to 2 dogs, and, one full-time cat (2 part-timers), we’ve had as many as 4 dogs, and, 6 cats.

One of the tasks of our morning routine is making sure everyone has lunch, and, that it’s prepared the night before. Now that it’s about half-way into the school year, I’ve kind of lost inspiration about what to buy for lunch boxes.
The kids are old enough to make their own lunches, but, I have to […]
