The sun is out and the days are (sometimes) warm. It’s yard sale season. For the “Thrifty-Tip Thursday” revival, here are my yard-sale shopping tips: 1 - Make a List: I have started a list of...
My husband said to me the other day, “You know, I kind of liked it when you were working on your blog.” Code: ”You’ve really let things slide, lady.” :-) So I spent a few minutes looking at my past...
I spent a large portion of today working on the school room closet. Here is what I started with. My little ones snuck in one day and pulled a lot of it onto the floor, but I made the rest of the...
I admit, I’ve lost steam on blogging. But I am trying to keep going because having the accountability really pushes me to keep going on all these house projects. I completed the school room a...
After an extended, extended, extended vacation from blogging, I’m back with a whole lot of organizing to do. We have moved. Not far, just the next town over so we can be closer to all the places...
I think I managed to save my zucchini plant (thanks Kate!). Now I am regularly harvesting zucchini. Time for zucchini bread. I have to admit that I have never been a huge fan of zucchini bread, but...
I shared last week that we were moving the school room downstairs. This is how the old school room looked. It was nothing special. I had inherited a couple desks from my grandmother which the two...
Some time ago, my sister texted me pictures of a project she and her husband had just finished. It was so clever I asked her to send me pictures so I could share it here. Christina and her husband...
We are in the process of moving our school room from the upstairs loft area to our downstairs “left-over furniture room”. That’s our name for the family room (Or is it living room? We have one of...
After a month off from blogging, I’m back. I took some time to work, vacation, and spend much needed time with family. . . lots and lots of family! For my back-to-organizing project I’ve decided to...
For the next few weeks I need to focus on my work schedule and enjoy some vacation time with family. I will be taking a break from blogging and be back in July! Enjoy your summer vacations!
My project for the last month or so has been my pantry. So much for one project per week . . . that’s life! I am pleased to announce that I have finally made some progress on that pantry. Huzzah!...
I’m sure a lot of you use today’s thrifty tip, but just in case . . . The market is flooded with plastic-ware for storing left-overs like this: The advantages are that they are transparent so you...
In case you had noticed I haven’t been posting, I decided to take some time off from blogging and organizing so I could concentrate on my work schedule. I’m happy to say that as of this morning the...
In keeping with the garden theme this week, here’s a thrifty tip I picked up from my parent’s home gardening techniques. I’m starting some of my seedlings this week. You can go to your local home...
Each year when I “plan” my garden, I follow the same process. First I select my seed packets using my “Oooo, that looks good!” or “Oh, that would be fun!” method. Then I pull out the seedling...
Just a quick post tonight. Here is the chore chart I came up with for my oldest son. The other’s are similar, but scaled down about according to each child’s age capabilities. There are a lot of...
Boy, I’m getting tired of that phrase, “command center”. Probably because I just spent three weeks thinking about and working on it. Regardless, I vote for coining a new phrase . . . “family go-to...
I am almost finished with my “Command Center” wall (finally!). The reveal will be tomorrow, but in the mean time I thought I’d share some of the chore-chart resources I have found. Here is a...

A lot of people in the blogging world use those catchy, alliterated titles; so I thought I’d try one of my own. “Up-cycling” and “Re-purposing” seem to be the latest craze. Everyone is finding...
I’ll start with the confession. I’m not going to meet my deadline this week with my “Command Center” wall. My intent is to complete on project each week, and well, it’s Tuesday. Also, I haven’t...
I had a page featured on The Happy Housewife yesterday. Check it out!
I’ve been a little slow on my “command center” wall this week. Today, however, I finally got my act together and started putting things together. One of the things I want on this wall is a magnet...
