Works for Me Wednesday – Window Cleaning

I’m excited to be participating in WFMW…I’ve been reading everyone else’s tips for a while but never felt I had anything to contribute.   Until last week.     OMG Y’all, (sorry, DH informs me that as a native Michigander, I can’t say that).   Anyway, I found a FAB way to clean my windows.    DD has been wanting […] Read more…

No-S Diet Status

SUCCESS! I had to get out my huge dinner sized plates at dinner to do the no seconds part, but I guess that’s normal in the beginning and I did eat enough to get from meal to meal so I’m just thrilled about that.   Especially since I was HOME all day.   Boredom = food! Read more…

No S Diet

I just read a fantabulous book called the No S Diet (thanks to Jen at Conversion Diary for letting me know about it).    It’s really simple.   No Snacks.   No Sweets.    No Seconds.  Except on S-days (Saturday, Sunday and Special holidays). You can get it from the library.    Or get an ebook.   Or just go to […] Read more…

Spring Cleaning – Day 7/8

I suppose her room wasn’t as bad as I originally thought.   DD was sick today or I probably could have finished it. Well, maybe it was.   I just looked at the before pics again.  YIKES! BEFORE: I had massive, unorganized stacks of outgrown clothes that needed to be packed away and labeled.   There were also […] Read more…

Book Review – Practicing Hospitality

I read about this in another blog (don’t remember which one, but her name was Ashley, I think) and decided it was a book that I really needed to read.   My lovely husband is much more hospitable and social than I am.    I love to entertain small groups of friends, but I continually struggle with […] Read more…
