Organizing Artwork “Stuff”

Monday, March 8th, 2010

It seems as though our kids have more crayons, markers, coloring books, and stickers than they can possibly use in one life time.  I thought I would give you a couple of ideas as to how to keep all of their artwork “stuff” organized or at the very least accessible to them without making it [...]

Mom, you have a really big bottom!

Monday, March 8th, 2010

No, that is not just a title to this blog, that is an actually statement from my 4 year old daughter.  Here is the story.  My daughter was standing behind me and out of nowhere she said “mom, you have a really big bottom!”  I said, “really?”  To which she responded, “Yes, it is the [...]

Going Green wants Cake. . .and I mean ALL THINGS CAKE!

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Eight months ago Janette Stenstom’s life seemed half-baked!  She was laid off in April and unable to find another corporate job with benefits in this burned out economy.  Then her husband’s contract wasn’t renewed and it seemed to be a recipe for disaster!  But this mother of three sprinkled in a dash of optimism, a [...]

The stress of picking a school!

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Okay okay…I admit I have some issues with anxiety.  Trying to make the best decision for my kids can drive me crazy.  Even after making a final decision I worry that I have not done the right thing and wonder what if I had made the other choice.  Silly, I KNOW!!!  But, I just want [...]

Organizing Your Bed Linens

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

·         Before placing linens, be sure to dust and wipe shelves. I stick a dryer sheet in my linen closet to keep it fresh smelling (and my coat closet).
·          Divide linens into categories. For example, place bed linens arranged by size. Or organize them on a separate shelf for each of your bedrooms. I keep [...]

The BIG Milestones

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

This weekend we celebrated my husband’s 37th b-day.  THIRTY SEVEN!!!  I realize that 37 is just a number and not really old, but after almost 18 years together, I just find it hard to believe he is 37.  The morning after his party, I started thinking about the milestone.  It is just another year, not [...]

Turn Your Duds Into Dazzling!

Monday, February 15th, 2010

I realize you would expect me to say “get rid of it if you are not using it” but during these economic times its important to use what you already have to its fullest potential.
 
I am going to assume that you have already your closet organized and taken your clothes to a consignment shop, right?!?  [...]

What will you give your Valentine?

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Earlier, I offered up a unique gift idea that I had done for my husband. I’m hoping some of you “take the plunge” and do something out of the ordinary. I’m telling you, it will be a gift for yourself too.
There are so many gift ideas that you [...]

Let’s Make Some $$$$

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

It’s that time of year again….time to clean out those clothes closets.  I bet each of you have at least $100-$200 or more worth of clothes you could make from consigning your clothes or selling them at JBF Sale (February 28-March 6, 2010). 
 
Two great consigning stores that I like is Bearlee New in Broken [...]
