Yesterday it was a chilly 42 degrees here in Missouri. Last week it was 72 and it wouldn’t surprise me if I woke up to a balmy 80 degree day tomorrow. Around here, the weather fluctuates constantly in the fall and spring which can make it pretty tricky to keep your kid’s clothes under control. [...]

If you’ve got girls then chances are you’ve got a ton of hair accessories. Bows, barrettes, headbands, clips - it’s amazing how many hair doodads we buy.

I love the Pottery Barn catalog. Not that I’ve ever purchased anything from it - I just love to flip through it and glean ideas from the pages. One PB staple that I’ve always coveted is their entryway lockers. I don’t know why they appeal to me so much. Maybe it’s because my optimistic brain convinces me that if I had them in [...]

So, when it comes time to find the perfect Mother’s Day card, I skip the store and grab [...]

There are many professional organizers that will tell you the key to holiday happiness is beginning your preparations months in advance. Although they may be right, I’m not a believer. Over the years, I’ve found that about four weeks is all I [...]

A few weeks ago I was at my daughter’s gymnastics class when a woman asked me to borrow a pen. I knew that I probably had a few lingering around the bottom of my purse so I started digging. After pulling out a half a dozen crumpled receipts, lotion, gum, and loads of other mom-on-the-go essentials I finally [...]

So it appears that Wal Mart no longer carries the cool little laminator that I mentioned in my last post. Sorry to have led you guys astray. Although I can’t seem to find that particular laminator on any other site, I did a little research last night and found a few good alternatives. Both of them are under [...]
