“You didn’t throw away anything of mine!  Did you?”

You mean you wanted to keep that deer head?

I did take a break and eat some pizza.  Yum.

Princess of the Universe has a clean room.  We even hung up her dragon kite that she flew at the beach.

The upstairs bathroom is clean.   And, my boys’ bedrooms are “as […]

Do you ever have a day when you just clean and clean, and enjoy it, and know you won’t stop ’til it’s all done?

Dear Husband is relaxing at the moment.  He is watching an educational video with one of his sons.  It’s about World War II.  He told me to order pizza if it is […]

Just thought you’d want to know…

I have been VERY busy the past several days.  I have wanted to get on here and post more, but it’s been all I could do to keep my house livable while so many projects are going on.  As my friend says, I am in a transition phase.  That’s so true.

When I redid my living room last week, I had to take some of my “sweet nothings” from the living room and put them in an antique jelly cupboard that I have in my hallway. 

Atop the cupboard sits an old-fashioned doll that my mother made — one of many.  They are carved out of wood and then […]
