Our new office is a long rectangular room perfect for a long desk and plenty of storage cabinets. I wanted to do a desk the full 15′ length of the room, so we made our own using unfinished oak kitchen cabinets from Home Depot.   We used two 18″ kitchen base drawer cabinets for sewing [...]

I love smart toys. There are so many toys, most of them probably, that are just junk. They are noisy, obnoxious, flimsy, don’t teach kids anything, and ultimately don’t get played with after the first 15 minutes. I hate those toys. So I set out to find a small selection of Smart Toys to share [...]

I’ve been a little MIA, but I haven’t been doing nothing! I had no idea how much work moving would be and we’re no where near finished yet. But we can park both cars in the garage and there are fewer than…20? boxes unpacked in the house (not counting the basement…). The office has been [...]

The day I thought would never come has finally come. We have conquered bedwetting. And it wasn’t actually all that hard. I’m a little mad we didn’t get serious about it years ago, but all’s well that ends well, right?!? My potty trained son wet the bed for a few years – potty training and [...]

Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwiches are consumed by the hundreds each year at our house – they’re sweet and salty, gooey or crunchy, quick and easy, and well all love them. But the classic PB&J has changed over time, at least at our house. We’ve gotten bored with the regular old way of making the sandwich and [...]

GoodNite Bedwetting

Mom Central Tour

We conquered potty training a while ago, but we still sometimes struggle with nocturnal enuresis, a fancy way to say bedwetting. It’s typically genetic and is defined as involuntary urination while asleep after the age at which bladder control usually occurs. In talking to our doctor, we learned it’s more common in boys and it’s really no fun [...]

It’s almost Spring again, are you getting in the mood to reorganize and freshen up your house? I am. One of my favorite baskets is the SKUBB collection at IKEA. They come in various sizes, are my favorite color, and are perfectly rectanglar/square so they fit really efficiently in a variety of spaces. Sometimes my [...]
