Shake things up!


Those dang Leprechauns got our house!
How fun it was to wake up with my little boys this Saturday to an unusual sight!
I love Holiday traditions and adding to them. We had our usual St.Patty's Day dinner consisting of a pot of gold, (chicken nuggets and tater tots), and the oh-so-sugary pistachio salad. But this year I thought it would be fun to have the Leprechauns visit!





 It was funny to hear my boys say, "I didn't do it!"
Maybe next year we will have to set a trap!

Sometimes it's fun to do things out-of-the-ordinary.
What fun traditions do you do to make your family life more blissful?

Scheduling Problems!?!

My life is crazy busy! I seriously think I've lost my mind sometimes. And just when I think it might slow down, something seems to come along to speed it up! Like my children getting older and more involved in extracurricular activities, and that husband who feels he needs to coach everything (which he is awesomely talented at!), and the fact that I have a hard time saying "NO" sometimes. I am getting better about that. Okay maybe not saying "No", but definitely contemplating more about my kids schedules before I volunteer for one more thing. But before I book anything I always check this "Brain book" of mine, so we are not over scheduled, making sure to also get that one-on-one date with the hubby, that does not include dinner out with the kids after a game at least once a week. I know, I know, you're all thinking, why doesn't she just get a smart phone. Well, because first it would take so much more time to put it in and figure it out, and B, there is something gratifying about checking off my to-do list everyday, even if it includes watering the plants. At least I know I did something constructive besides being a chauffeur.  So the point of this one is, I have an extra one of these magnificent planners of mine. It opens up to a week-at-a-glance, and a month-at-a-glance. It is approximately 5"X7" fitting nicely into your bag. It could be all yours for free when you book an organizing job with me. First come, first serve! I have openings starting next week. Message me, email me, or just call or text! One way or another, I would love to help you get your life more blissfully organized. (I also do gift certificates. Mother's Day is coming up!)
