A few weeks ago a neighbor put up on Facebook that she was getting rid of a plastic playhouse that had seen better days. My inner hoarder cannot turn down free things so I told her I would gladly take it. I have to admit that my husband wasn't convinced this was a good idea but I knew it would provide some entertainment for all three boys in … [Read more...]

Are you ready for spring yet? I'm counting down the days...here in NC we've only gotten one snow (that lasted all of 18 hours) but we've had plenty of cold dreary weather.

I've tried in the past to plan out my meals and have failed miserably. I always forget something at the store and end up going three times a week to pick up the forgotten item (and then make a few impulse buys) or I don't plan specifically enough and get caught at 5pm knowing I'm making chicken but having no idea what kind. One of my New Year's … [Read more...]
