Don’t say “schedule”
Don't laugh but when I decided that I would be a stay at home mom ... or at least when I was pregnant with my first son and I tossed around the idea a little, I actually thought that I would have so much free time. I would be able to get all the things done with...
Tidying, Organizing, Minimalizing … Doing it all?
Is it just me or did everything all of a sudden launch into tidying up? Now, I know that I live in a bit of a hobbit hole being a stay at home mom, with no access to a car, and living in the "country", and I HAVE seen on the Facebook that there is a new Netflix...
What is “Normal” anyway
The other day I posted a poll on Facebook asking when people washed their bed sheets, or rather, how often they did that. The following day (or maybe it was two days later) I posted a question about they insane thing that husbands do that drive us nuts (like...
Labour Day – Oils to Get you Through

Bed Sheets – Who Knew
The other day I decided I would self check and post a poll on Facebook all about bed sheets. I asked a simple question, "How often do you wash your bed sheets?" with two basic answers... (a) all the time (aka weekly) (b) never (aka once a month) Oh my word! Never in...
Quick! My MIL is on her way!
On any given day my house is ... well it looks like I am losing a game of Jumanji. I mean COME ON, I live in a house with four *almost 5* young children and I am not about to rein them in at all times just so I can walk through my house without stepping on Lego -...
I’ll take my coffee reheated … three times
It's cliche to say but you KNOW motherhood is not for the faint of heart! But, did you know that it is also not for the woman who likes to drink her coffee hot, the first time? Seriously! And the more children you have, the less likely you will be to even SEE the...
