I heart a Good Challenge

By admin | Published: February 3, 2012

I absolutely love Instagr.am. I totally prefer it to Facebook. Now, don’t get me wrong….I love it when someone has something snarky or interesting to say on FB, but lets be honest….how often does that happen? I have even cheated on Twitter a bit with Instagr.am, but I do love me some Twitter. (On a [...]

Favorite January Pins

By admin | Published: February 1, 2012

I love Pinterest just like the next person. However, I try not to use it too much as a time vacuum. Generally I use it for inspiration to create something new. I only follow people who I admire their style and most of the people I follow I have never met face to face. Here [...]

Pomodoro Technique

By admin | Published: January 23, 2012

One of the biggest challenges about not having an office to go to or a boss to hold you accountable is prioritizing. Around my house the things that go noticed are dirty dishes, refilling toilet paper rolls, piles of laundry (clean and dirty), hungry children, showered momma, non-returned phone calls/emails . Things that go unnoticed. [...]

Landlocked No More

By admin | Published: January 19, 2012

Oklahoma gets a bad wrap. Not all the time…it deserves an eye roll every time there is a shirtless man telling about the latest tornado. Not to mention summers are HOT with only the relief of luke warm pools and dirty holes in the ground to cool off. Winter is usually cold with little snow [...]

I have come close to biting my tongue completely off when I get comments such as “You knit, do you ever sell your work?” “What great parties you throw, have you considered becoming a party planner?” “I can hardly imagine what it [...]

….your sisters closer

By admin | Published: January 10, 2012

My sisters are some of my favorite people on this earth. We have an unusually close relationship. As in, we have tried to talk our husbands into all moving in together and raise our children like in a commune…..I am only sort of joking. We look out for each other, prepare meals for each other, [...]

Resolution Week

By admin | Published: January 5, 2012

This is the first year Big Guy has asked about resolutions. I am not sure he can completely grasp this concept, but he understands it enough to deem this week, Resolution Week. The week where apparently I, a.k.a. Mom, helps the kids by setting resolutions. Score! I will make the most of this! So, we [...]
