It’s the new year and there is nothing I would rather do than kick a great big bag of junk to the curb, but alas, I am in LA. Our friends threw a party and almost everyone who came had kids. Of course the kids outlasted me. I fell asleep on the couch trying to […]

99 Life Hacks to make your life easier! I had to reblog this so I won’t forget these great tips. I love how all the solutions are made from up-cycled items.
With a day to pack and ready the house, I and the boys hit the road to go to LA with stops in Grand Junction and Salt Lake City. It felt like high-time for a vacation. Prepping the house for our absence is a big job, especially since James and a friend’s sister will be […]
I broke 1000 items today and it hasn’t been a month yet! If I keep purging at this rate I will have to think of a new name or cut my project short. I think there is value to doing something for an entire year, as far as retraining one’s brain is concerned. I’m kicking […]
My mother left today; all-in-all it was a successful holiday. We have a tough time together but I have learned to cope with humor. Margaret Cho made a whole career out of talking about her dysfunctional relationship with her mom. I’m going to need some distance before I can start seeing this Christmas as funny, […]
My mom, bless her, arrived with a box full of food from various Houston asian delis. BBQ pork, pork pot stickers, shrimp and pork dumplings … it was at least 20 pounds of pork. Her heart is in the right place and the guys weren’t complaining. Me? I stay away from meat whenever possible. I’m […]

There is plenty of stuff still under the sink, incase you were wondering. A microfiber turban, a lariat I made […]

It’s two days before Christmas and my mother-in-law is seriously disturbed by the fact that the boys run around inside with bare feet. They have socks and slippers galore, they just don’t wear them because THEY AREN’T COLD! But Anita is having a major panic attack over it and has been hounding me to take […]
My mother-in-law is simply the best; I don’t know what I did to deserve her but I’m not asking any questions. She has endless energy for the boys and played board games and read to them for hours … which allowed me to stress-test my scanner. My office doubles as a dumping ground second guest […]
