2009 is almost here, and you have made your New Years resolution to get organized.  Let this be the year you start to “Clear the Clutter”.  Clutter can make you feel as though you are suffocating in your own home.   With the world outside of your home in shambles… Read More »

Now that we have made it safely through yet another Christmas season, I can officially begin shopping for the next.
I know, I know, that sounds crazy, but does standing in line outside a department store, at 3 am on a December morning, waiting for a sale to start, sound sane?  To me? Not so much. … Read More »

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening (I would if the kids would quit talking)
In the lane, snow is glistening (Great, now I have to find time to shovel)
A beautiful sight (If I can get everyone in their snow gear before they have to pee)
We’re happy tonight (Until someone LOOKS at someone else)
Walkin’ in a winter… Read More »

Did you know that wrapping paper, holiday gift boxes and cards are partly to blame for a 25 percent spike in household garbage collected between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.   I read that little tidbit in the Tulsa World this weekend.  Writer Cary Aspinwall had loads of great suggestions… Read More »
