Meet My Laundry Buddy
Posted by Danielle Bean in Homemaking on Thursday, August 26, 2010
It’s 11 am. Ask me how my laundry’s looking. Go ahead, ask me.
Okay, I’ll tell you how my laundry’s looking ... it’s all caught up! It’s washed, dried, folded, and put away. The clothes are clean, the sheets are clean, the towels are clean, and the bathing suits are clean.
But I can’t take credit for any of it. It’s my new laundry buddy, 9-year-old Stephen, who keeps me on track. I’m barely out of... READ MORE
Dorm Essentials?
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Homemaking on Tuesday, August 24, 2010
HI gang! As you read this, Greg and I are winging our way to Boston where we’ll spend the next few days moving Eric into his new dorm room at Harvard. On the agenda for later today is a trip to a local Target to buy some supplies for his dorm room.
We have a basic list which includes things like laundry detergent, printer paper and a fan. Since we’ve all had to fly to campus rather than drive,... READ MORE

Tempted Am I

I tried not to look at the latest Williams-Sonoma catalog.
But I sensed a disturbance in the force and gave in.

The successful career woman and mother of one small son only appeared to have it all, she explained. Her life was out of balance. And she planned to fix it the only way she knew how—by quitting her job to stay home with her son.
In the sleepless blur of the last... READ MORE
