    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.

    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 I failed my initial glucose screening…
    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 [...]
