Several years ago, my oldest started kindergarten at one school, my middle child attended preschool at another, and my youngest was in a parent’s day out program at yet another school. Keeping track of where everyone was supposed to be and when I had to pick them up was mind-boggling (for me, anyway —...
I read this tip on someone else’s blog (maybe via WFMW?) and can’t remember where to give the credit. If this was your idea first, I apologize and appreciate the idea! The problem: Putting meat that needs defrosting on a plate in the fridge leads to drips, and is a poor utilization of the...
We recently purchased an iPad, in anticipation of our cross-country travels, and we have been having fun exploring different apps. After our return, the husband and I felt the house was a wreck and a deep clean was in order — one that required participation from ALL members of the family. Often times, getting...
Alternate Title: The easiest birthday party I ever hosted My middle child was set to turn 6 in June, just a few days before the much anticipated Cars 2 movie was due out in theaters. After hosting quite a few themed parties at home in the past (including a race car party), I found...
I know most of North America has been out of school for at least month (it seems), but our summer is just getting started. During the school year, we limit TV during the week and only allow Wii on the weekends. When the TV is on, I like that I get a break, but...

This ever happen to you? I remembered seeing an awesome recipe from homemade fudge popsicles somewhere online, but I couldn’t recall where. I tried searching my email (I try and save recipes that appeal to me there) and my Google Reader but found nothing. Grr! Suddenly I had a burning desire to make popsicles...
My youngest is my early riser. Sometimes cra-aazy early (like pre 6am), more usually, he manages to bounce out of bed and into our room just as I finally gotten myself up, coffeed up and am ready to start a quiet time. I have been searching for a while for a good...
Note: you can find a link to my Trader Joe’s Price Sheet at the end of this post. It took me a long time to “get” Trader Joe’s. I would hear people rave about it, but when I tried to shop there, I was confused. I couldn’t buy everything I needed and still would...
I’ve had a couple of occasions recently to need to park downtown in a big city. Yesterday I had to meet my daughter’s field trip in DC near the National Building Museum, and last week we drove up to Baltimore to check out the Aquarium. I didn’t want to pay any more than I...
