min. i. mal.

It's hard for me to be too serious, but in all seriousness, I am trying to become a minimalist.


 You'd think that that word would be smaller...

Minimalist

pinterest to the rescue!

kickstand challenged

 So we have had a problem at our house.  Kids have either forgotten how to use their kickstands, or they just don't care.

So here's what I did:

gettin' my Duggar on!

 


I sometimes always think that the Duggar children could run my household better than I can.

We have five children between my husband and I (and a grandchild on the way).  It's amazing and we love it and I need all the help I can get.

montessorus

Did you hear about the bones they dug up?  They come from the "montessorus"...
No. Not really...

That's the word I gave the Montessori school that is going to be the new school for two of my children.  If only one of my children were going, then I would call it Montessori, but because there is more than one going...kinda like fungus, octopus...
You get me?

what dreams may come...

 I haven't yet blogged about the musician in me because, well, I like to read blogs about DIY home projects, or food or sewing or something along that creative line, and therefore that's what I like to blog about. But here's a post about the fun I get to have as a musician--with a twist..

diaper bag de'but--The Nanny Bag TM

messenger bag style

I don't even know how to begin to introduce you to my diaper bag design.  I guess I'll start by telling you how I came to the idea.

LOL challenge

 I checked out my favorite blogger, Sarah at A Beach Cottage, today and accepted her challenge in her latest post--"love it or lose it".
I love her blog.  She is real.  She lives in Australia--what's not to love about that?!
Anyway, she and I have some things in common.  She lives by the beach.  I want to.  She has an all white beach cottage.  I want one.  Hmmmmm...Well maybe me wanting what she has doesn't exactly mean that we have it in common, but one thing she and I DO have in common is our love of "collecting" stuff...

First step is acceptance right?

brownie in a mug

Sometimes you just need a treat. 

Have you ever heard of one minute cake in a mug?   Some of you probably have.  It. Is. DeLIGHTful.  Upon googling a recipe, I came across BROWNIES in a mug.

 D. I. V. I. N. E.

 I call brownies in a mug, wait for it...

file that

finally...kinda a big deal for me.

Bragging a little bit.

I did it.

on the fly...

You notice I didn't post much of anything about Thanksgiving.  You might have noticed I didn't post much of anything about Christmas.  Maybe you didn't notice at all that I didn't post anything about New Years either.  It's not because I didn't do anything on those days.  Quite the contrary.  We had quite the festivities.  I just don't know how to get it all done.  Something has to be set aside and it's usually this blog.  Sorry  blog.  I do love you...
