    A Bathroom Counter Catch All
    It may be a small tackle - but this basket on my bathroom counter has become an out of control catch all. I barely use most of the stuff in it - it is too full of junk to be useful. [...]

    Why I hoped no one came to the front door this weekend…
    I can use the “new baby” excuse no longer. This mess must go!
    After a busy week of running in and out and not picking up after ourselves, our front room looked terrible! There was [...]

    As you know, Janice and Susan are far too busy to tackle anything. I’m sure that sometimes they feel like they aren’t getting anything done, but they have both tackled labor and delivery, and now they are both tackling being mommies of two, feeding, changing [...]

    The Second Round
    Two weeks ago I “tackled” labor and delivery. This week it was Susan’s turn as she gave birth to her daughter, Sophia Vanna.
    Susan did an excellent job delivering and Sophia safely arrived on Friday afternoon. I couldn’t believe how quickly and efficiently [...]

    A blur of nursing and diaper changes…
    Okay I don’t have a real “tackle” for you this week. Pretty much it has been ten days of nursing, diaper changes and trying to fit it all in around driving Jackson to school and his activities. I am [...]

    It doesn’t get much better than this…
    Yes, Olivia arrived early! And my tackle plans for the week suddenly changed.

    Is shopping a tackle???
    First, I have to confess that I don’t have my “after” photos ready from last week’s tackle in progress. I still haven’t finished tackling the filing and organizing mess that is covering my kitchen table!
    I just can’t seem to get to it! [...]

    What is the expression about the shoemaker’s children having no shoes??? I am not sure how it goes - but I do know it is pretty accurate sometimes.
    My husband is an electrician, but a few [...]

    I don’t have any “before pictures” for you for this tackle. We are going so crazy tackling all the corners of chaos in this house, that it is hard to remember to [...]

    Inch by inch, its a cinch!
    My mom always told us, “Inch by inch, its a cinch!” when we were kids. Well - this ongoing monster tackle isn’t anywhere close to being a “cinch” but we are moving forward - thanks almost entirely to my amazing [...]

    Time to Freeze Blueberries…
    I have been procrastinating long enough — blueberry season is almost over!
    So Saturday, before I headed to Ikea, I picked up 30 pounds of blueberries to freeze that evening. The only problem was that we ended up being at Ikea far longer [...]

    So this Tuesday, instead of tackling all the tons of things I need to do, I will be sitting in a lab “tackling” my 3 hour gestational diabetes fasting glucose test. It is bad enough that I may have [...]

    Well Janice is now home, but she is definitely not in tackling form…
    She returned home from her trip exhausted, drowning in dirty laundry and countless emails behind. ‘Overwhelmed’ hardly even does her mood justice. Alas, we’re left to tackle again on our own.
    As you can [...]
