The clean plate club is giving away a $50.00 gift card to Williams-Sonoma!!! Who wouldn’t love that? I drool over every single one of their catalogs. New utensils, new baking pans, a new casserole dish… Want in? Run over and enter.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! Hope you’re all wearin’ a bit o’ the green today. Over at I’m an Organizing Junkie, Laura hosts a weekly Menu Plan Monday. Have a look for some wonderful menu ideas! For this week, we are going easy so mama can recover from the weekend of parties (and use up […]

Well, this link love comes a little late in the day. K’s birthday was this week. We had a slumber party last night and family party today. Needless to say, mama is a little tired. Worth it, thought – a fun time was had by all. With a 7 year old boy in the house, […]

Here is an early link love.  On The Simple Woman, Peggy is doing a giveaway to help with spring cleaning.  Just in time, too.  With all the sun that is now shining in our windows, I can see how much I need to spruce up!  I love Mrs. Meyers cleaning products – non-toxic, and then […]

I’ve always been a dog person. My mom is allergic to cats, so we never had one growing up. We did have dogs, though – wonderful, incredible dogs. I couldn’t imagine not having dogs in the family. When Hubby and I were first married, we bought a condo. I didn’t want to get a dog […]

I know I should be writing a book review today, but there has been a change in plans.  I will write the book review on Friday (Stepping Heavenward by Elizabeth Prentiss) and do the week’s highlight today.  I had thought the week’s highlight would be about K’s birthday (which is tomorrow), but hubby had other […]

One of the blogs I subscribe to is I’m an Organizing Junkie. On her site, she does a post called Menu Plan Monday. Here is my first contribution! I started posting my weekly menu last Monday, but I wasn’t participating in her link. I’ve been reading her menu links for some time now. It really […]

Over at 5 minutes for mom, it is party time. They are hosting the ultimate blog party. It is a great way to find new blogs, so grab a cup of coffee, ignore the phone, head on over, and surf the day away! For those of you stopping by here for the first time, let […]

It’s the weekend – time for a little link love. I subscribe to…ahem…just a couple posts through Google Reader. Here are a few posts that caught my attention this week. Over at The Daily Saint, there is a post on keeping clear margins on your GTD system. Something I let get out of hand… I […]

Well, I was hoping for a quiet week, what with being all sinus-y and all, but life does not always go as planned. It was an exciting, eventful week, and I am now looking forward to a (hopefully) quieter weekEND.  The kids will be at my mom’s, so I see a movie-fest for hubby and […]
