House Not-So-Beautiful

Remember when I posted a braggy little piece about my lovely new living room rug? This is what I would like for you to think that my house looks like. Unfortunately, it only looked like that for the three seconds it took for me to snap that photo. Then… THE KIDS CAME HOME. First this

Spaghetti Squash in the Crockpot

I’ve been seeing this on pinterest and wondered if it would really work: To be honest, it looks bogus. Just put the whole thing in the crockpot with some water for a couple of hours? That’s it? But I hate slicing a giant raw squash (It hurts my weak American arms) so I tried it.

Kids are insulting each other on my driveway

Hair Tips from Pinterest

I’m test-driving some pinterest hair tips for the benefit of you, my reader. And also to try to make my hair look better. (original pin from easy loop of hair) This actually was really easy to do. Here’s how it looked in my hair: Not bad, right? Okay, the next one was a little more

The Vest

I saw this sign at the military hospital. I want a vest like this. It seems like the perfect idea for a mom. Just tell the kids, When I’m wearing the vest, YOU CAN’T BOTHER ME.
