Embarking on the KonMari Method
Have you heard of the KonMari Method? I’m basically obsessed with the idea of it right now. I’ll preface this with a disclaimer that I am one of “those women” who enjoy the act of cleaning the house. Specifically, I like organizing. Actually deep cleaning and scrubbing isn’t my thing, but I can ...
Thankful Thursday: Thoughts on Thanksgiving 2015

Free Coffee!
If you're a regular here, you know how my husband likes to bless me with coffee... when it's free. ;) This cup is brought to you me by the Family Eye Care Center. It's just a silly-cute thing he started doing after he heard of one of my dad's shenanigans: My dad "takes my mom out for dinner" at ...

Out With The Old, In With The New
My husband can be stubborn, practical, frugal, and every other similar word you can think of. I just tossed these old worn out shoes of his in the garbage can. I have no doubt in my mind that he's going to see them and give me 10 good reasons why he's keeping them. Anyone else know someone like ...
