Uhhhhh. I updated my Akismet plugin today, and *poof* it’s gone! Wha?? I did the same to one of my other blogs, and now I can’t “Delete All.” Holy cow, why do I have all these problems?! I’ve heard it may be a bug… *sigh* So I’m going to have to put blog comments on [...]

Do You Like the New Look?

I’ve done it again– rearranged the blog furniture! I was tired of all the nagging little nuisances of the old template (which was actually a combination of two different ones). I just loved the old header, and hate to part with it, but I couldn’t make it work with this theme. I like the sleekness [...]

WARNING! Lengthy article ahead about homeschooling! lol Well we’re gearing up for another school year here. Like I’ve said before, I homeschool, but it’s a unique homeschool. Our church has a small group of administrators that distribute curricula, give tests, and (best of all) handle all the administrative paperwork. We pay tuition to cover these [...]

As many of you know, I sometimes write articles for this blog and my other blogs, for pay. It has enabled me to earn a living, whereas I would not be able to in any other capacity. Because of a back injury, I am laid up sometimes for long periods of time, but my fingers [...]

A Review of Febreze Refresher Decor

I remember when Febreze first came out. It was amazing! Before, the only real recourse for removing odors from fabrics and furniture was to douse the thing in baking soda and water. And HOPEFULLY the stink would leave. I don’t know about you, but I am a frugal shopper. That means, I buy used furniture! [...]

My daughter sent me an email with a link to a video, saying, “When you are in a ‘Cute Kitty Mood,’ watch this.” LOL, well, I am ALWAYS in a “Cute Kitty” mood. This is an adorable video. The music is really weird (what is that anyway?!) but the cat is so lovey! My husband [...]

Adding vinegar to your pot of water will prevent it from boiling over! I don’t know what it is, this plague that makes my pots always boil over… but they do. And since I have a glass cooktop, it sizzles very loudly and makes a huge mess. So I tried adding vinegar with a full [...]

Of course you don’t, lol! The kids and I worked on the yard more today. We finished a good portion of the side yard that I call my “Secret Garden.” It’s a narrow strip of the property that is close to the neighboring parking lot. Here I am on one side of the property; my [...]

Dress Up Deals

My kids absolutely LOVE to dress up. They used to make dress ups clothes for each other for Christmas gifts, made out of old scraps of fabric, cardboard and duct tape. They were actually pretty ingenious outfits, but they didn’t last long. One of the kids’ favorites was Bibleman. I once shelled out the big [...]
