July 19, 2011 by · 13 Comments
I am loving my new lamp and lamp shade combo in my Mom Cave...er, home office. :) I know I have to share the space with the other four peeps in my household, but it's slowly evolving into more "mine" than "theirs."

And maybe $5 tops. The lamp … [Read more...]

What’s on Your To Do List? {Take the Challenge}
June 24, 2011 by · 1 Comment
Do you have a To Do list this summer? Is it growing fangs while you juggle kids, pool time, travel, and a general lack of routine around the house? I've been almost paralyzed by my own To Do list, so when my friend Cha Cha over at Sit, Relax, and Read threw out the 10 Tasks in 10 Days Challenge, I was still loathe to jump on the bandwagon.
