Today is “Organize Your Home” day. Normally that would (a) inspire me to overhaul my entire house at least one closet, or more likely (b) ogle Pinterest, home magazines, and the Container Store to admire other people’s organized spaces, or maybe even more likely (c) just feel depressed at how messy my own home feels. However, today I […]
Word of the Year
With a new year comes a chance to reimagine life, to reflect on the past year and decide how to improve in the year to come. I have seen people choosing their “word of the year” to help define and focus their vision for the year ahead. I thought today I would share MY word […]
Clean Your House QUICK
Do you ever have those days when your house feels like a disaster? I think we’ve all been there, maybe me more than most (I’m not a big fan of housekeeping). To top it all off, you get a phone call from your spouse letting you know his ____ (boss, old friend, fill in the […]

I have always been envious of those people who are organized enough to do all their cooking for the week in one afternoon. My sister-in-law is one of those amazing people. I asked her if I could join her one day and learn how she does it. And of course, being the incredible person she […]
Easy Weeknight Chicken
Do you ever find yourself in the kitchen after a long day wondering what to make for dinner? It used to happen to me quite often. I would absent-mindedly grab a bag of chips and start munching while I tried to figure out what I could possibly make. If I was lucky, I made a plan and […]
25 Ways to Start the Week Strong
Back to school time always reminds me of a fresh start. As a child I looked forward to new clothes, new school supplies, new teachers, new friends, and new experiences. And even though my years of being a student are long past, I still have that inner drive the end of every August to try to […]
How to Create More Me Time
Do you ever feel like you rush from one thing to another, interrupt doing this to do that, give and then give some more, and then wonder what happened to your day? Maybe you feel like life keeps running, and you’re not sure if you will ever catch up. If this sounds familiar, you need to […]
Cerama Bryte Saved My Stovetop
When I took this picture of my stovetop, I thought this was going to be a very different post. I had accepted the fact that I had ruined my new ceramic cooktop, and I was ready to send a plea out to the blogosphere for how to possibly fix it. Then I tried the bottle of Cerama […]
