We shouldn't have gone back around the block to have a closer look, but we did. There was a gorgeous dresser in someone's front yard with a free sign on it. I jumped out of the car and inspected. Solid wood, dovetail drawers, and no major damage - perfect color for our bedroom - thumbs… Continue reading Home Organization Project 34

Make at Home Natural Pork Sausage Patties
Why does frozen food have preservatives in it? It's frozen. Isn't that enough? Clearly it's not enough if it's a breakfast meat that my family begs me to buy - in gigantic quantities while we're at Costco. My answer is always the same: read the ingredients. They turn over the package and without me having… Continue reading Make at Home Natural Pork Sausage Patties
Home Organization Project 33
With school starting soon, we decided it was time to have a "school year calendar home organization project." Well, I decided that's what we needed. What does that mean? Instead of cleaning and sorting a different area around the house - or move because we've accumulated too much stuff - we focused on how we… Continue reading Home Organization Project 33
Smart and Simple Back to School
According to The Wall Street Journal, parents can plan to spend around $700 on back to school costs this year. Ouch! To make matters worse, evidently kids are "demanding" cell phones and other electronics from their parents for school. School district budgets are tighter than ever so parents are expected to contribute more supplies. Holy… Continue reading Smart and Simple Back to School

Home Organization Project 31
This week's home organization project - also known as get rid of stuff or move - was our garage and can we have a drum roll, please? Scratch that. Mini-drum roll, please. It's still an old garage that only recently had rats, squirrels, and spiders living in it. At least now it's an old garage… Continue reading Home Organization Project 31

Chick Pea, Edamame, and Red Pepper Salad
Confession: I like to ask for a sample of the prepared salads behind the counter at gourmet grocery stores. I rarely buy the food that I sample - it just looks so good and sometimes I do need a snack but really - I want to taste the delightful looking dish so that I can… Continue reading Chick Pea, Edamame, and Red Pepper Salad
Home Organization Project 30
Remember when we cleaned out the top of the garage before our garage sale? And then we discovered the rats in the rest of the garage? Well, those were just warm ups to this week's home organization project: the garage. Blah! We've been waiting for warm weather so that we can drag out every single… Continue reading Home Organization Project 30
