My Clothesline Brings Me Closer to God

Confessions of a laundry geek

I am not much enamored with laundry. I would gratefully accept the help of a laundry fairy if there really were such a thing. (There isn’t, right? Don’t hold out on me here, moms.)

In a family of ten, though, laundry is an everyday, ongoing process of washing drying, folding, and putting away.

One of the best things I ever did for myself was to stop trying to get the laundry “done.” It never will... READ MORE

I'm a Strawberry Sensation

a lazy gardener reaps much fruit

Arwen’s post about summer produce gives me the perfect opportunity to brag about our strawberries.

We have strawberries!

I like to brag about our strawberries because, you see, I have nothing to do with our strawberries.

I had a garden years ago that I lovingly tended alongside my husband. I still hold onto the dream of a flourishing garden, but we probably won’t be raising many plants until we’re... READ MORE


Sabotaged

when pie in the sky gives way to just pie

I had such high hopes for using the coming week to de-clutter.

Our weekend house-guests will be gone. My messiest kid will be away with cousins. I was going to get ahead of him for once and clean lunch boxes & uniforms and put them in storage.
