You can choose any combination of two of these materials to glue together: ceramic fabric glass leather metal paper plastic rubber styrofoam vinyl wood After you choose two materials a list of adhesives comes […]
Making Over
My cupboards were absolutely overflowing with empty baby food jars, and I didn’t know what in the world I was going to do with them all. I love containers, and I couldn’t just throw away these perfect little jars! I also hate throwing things like this away because I feel like I should be recycling […]
Something strange happened in my house the other day: My husband re-organized a part of our medicine cabinet.In our bathroom we have a three section medicine cabinet above the sink rather than just a mirror (this is one of my favorite things in our whole house, by the way. Medicine cabinets are AWESOME and help […]
In my house as a kid we had what we called “Blue Jobs” – things like filling the wood box, changing the oil in the cars, etc. “Pink Jobs” existed too, but those are trickier. Maybe picking the fat off the meat – men seem to be squeamish about those sorts of things, at least […]

I really have a hard time decorating my house because I have all these ideas, but when I have the money to get everything I freeze up or change my mind. For example, we just sold a piece of furniture and all this time I’ve been wanting to sell that thing and use the money […]
At the last library book sale I bought a children’s book by Alison Jay, my favorite illustrator, called Picture This. It’s a simple book with a picture and a single word on each page, for very young children. I love this book because of the beautiful artwork, and as I was reading it to my […]
I am reading a book called The Ultimate Career by Daryl Hoole and she had some ideas that I’m in love with about organizing time and activities! One thing that we do in our family is assign each member a color. I’m purple, my husband is brown, and our son is blue. We mark things […]
