In stereotypical fashion, I'm finding myself overwhelmed by the urge to spring clean as we welcome the sunshine and warm weather. I'm switching the girls' seasonal clothing (sooner than I would have liked since all four of them seem to have gone through a growth spurt in the last month!), cleaning all of the spaces…
As I've hinted at several times over the past couple of weeks, our family is going through some pretty big changes right now. If you've read my very neglected personal blog, you may have already heard the news. At the end of this week we will be signing papers to sell my husband's business, and…
I am a big believer in meal planning to help stretch your budget and your sanity! My method usually involves sitting on the couch, racking my brain for meal ideas, and then creating a grocery list based on the meals I plan. It's not a horrible system, but it's definitely not my favorite thing to…
Katie from Kitchen Stewardship is launching a Spring Cleaning: Get the Junk Out carnival this week!

With just a little over a month to go until Tax Day on April 15th (also the 11th anniversary of when my hubby and I started dating, back before Tax Day really meant anything to either of us!), I'm embarrassed to admit that I have barely even started my tax preparation. I'm hoping to make…
I'm sorry this wasn't up yesterday. We moved servers in the morning and then the day got away from me! We'll finish up our bathroom series next week. I've been reviewing the Palm Pre Plus over at Deal Seeking Mom for the past couple of weeks, and it's got me thinking... How do you use…
