Valentine’s Day is coming, so that means…
It is time for Valentine’s cards!
Do your kids’ classes have Valentine’s card exchanges?

The snow is falling tonight…
And we are expecting a nice sized snow fall overnight. So I am just hoping that it sticks around to make enough of a mess for Jackson’s school to be closed tomorrow.
Because I could really use a snow day.
You see, Jackson [...]

Remember when mail was exciting?
I don’t want to be a grown up anymore. I don’t want the mail carrier to drop off bills, bank statements and junk mail that quickly cover my counter and kitchen table and inevitably turn into huge piles of procrastination. I [...]

Little Olivia has her first cold. She has had it for awhile now, but tonight she was especially stuffy. So while she had a steam in the bathroom, I tackled cleaning “Jack the Fish’s” tank.
A few weeks ago, we left Jackson’s beta fish, [...]

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. [...]
