I just put my sheets in the washing machine with some liquid bleach in the water. Yikes! The problem with bleach is that it does its job too well. Every time I use bleach to clean my laundry (or […]

It looks like we’re moving to California! We’ve been working on figuring out what to do job-wise when the school year ends for a while now, and last week Colin’s parents asked him to work at their print shop in MIll Valley, CA. They also generously offered to let us live with them […]
Ever get distracted? This morning I was planning for this week’s home “preschool” and started looking for some supplies for a 5 Senses activity that requires paper bags. I knew my paper bags were in a box somewhere in our “storage room,” so I went on a hunt for them. I knew they were in […]

I love incentive charts! I’ve got a huge one like this on my wall tracking my progress on my goals that I got at the store for less than $2.
Yes, I have a couple of mini-charts for the kids (it’s helping Degen with his potty-training), but I primarily use incentive charts for me! […]

I just finished cleaning up our back porch and now I’m sitting on the porch on a kitchen chair watching Degen play outside while Maggie takes a nap inside. The weather is warm and sunny today and I’ve got the heater off, the back door open, and the screen door closed so I can hear when […]
I have vacuuming issues. I don’t like to vacuum. I like to spell vacuum, but I don’t like to do it. It’s loud, the vacuum is heavy, it scares the kids or wakes them up, and the amount of time it takes to do is much longer in my head than in reality.
I really need […]
A list of things I can see on the floor from the chair where I’m typing:
About 100 duplo blocks
The duplo container
A package of wipes
A wrapped-up dirty diaper
A plush green dinosaur/dragon (Degen Dragon)
Maggie’s pink windbreaker
Two paper plates
A blanket
Two white socks
A “choo choo shoe” (Thomas the Tank Engine sandal)
Three coloring books
A DVD player box
Maggie’s Dora the Explorer riding toy
Box of […]

Why is it that the hours between about 5pm and 7pm are the toughest time of day? I nearly invariably get tired and grumpy and frustrated at about that time. It seems like I should be able to avoid it since I know it’s coming, but I don’t. But I can try now! So, what […]
Okay, I need a plan to recover from my grumpy awakening and here it is:
1. I’m going to go eat something. I’m thinking a bowl of raisin bran will do the trick for now.
2. Say my prayers and read something in the scriptures.
Since writing the above, I decided it would be silly to even try […]

Colin and I are both grumpy this morning. He woke up with a headache and I woke up mildly nauseous for the 10th day in a row or something (no, I’m not pregnant unless the tests lie). There are piles of clean, unfolded laundry sitting on the floor around the house and the kids dumped all […]
