Life Decisions | Long Term Care

As many of you know, my Dad has been ill the past week or so. It’s actually been going on much longer than this. He has a shunt in his brain that drains excess fluid to his stomach. It’s been acting up for probably six months or longer but it peaked this past weekend and I insisted he visit the ER. It was Monday morning and he couldn’t remember anything after Friday afternoon at work. After a transfer, a night and day of waiting and a revision … [Read more...]

Dressing to My Socks

Years ago I signed up for The Fly Lady… a cleaning program that helps a disorganized flighty girl like me cut the clutter and chaos in my life. One of the first steps in the program was to shine your sink (yes, it really DOES make a difference) and one of the first things that she asks that you do in the morning is shower, get dressed and put your shoes on. Showering first thing in the morning requires me to get up before the kids do. … [Read more...]

  Personal safety is an important issue in everyone’s life. Just today I was at the local “mart” with Ethan. He’s three and seriously curious.

Coupon Chief Saved My Sanity and Money!

Once upon a time, I was a mommy with two older children that I could leave at home for an afternoon…. and I would bargain hunt. Ohhh, I would sift through every clearance rack… drag around a huge coupon binder… spend countless hours hunting, cutting, sorting and matching my coupons to sales. It was fabulous. The high from saving so much money and getting things for free (or almost free) is hard to explain. Fast forward to now… I still have two … [Read more...]
