Just when I thought I couldn’t get any more organized than I already am, I have come across the best new mouse pad that just might change all that.  Over the past month I have been trying to get better systems in place throughout my house and work to make things run more smoothly. ...

If you can stand it I have one more organizational tip.  I thought I was done with organizing my life until I woke up this morning and realized I had to do something about all the hair elastics that are everywhere in the house.  Both my daughter and I have long hair.  At some...

It was another morning of playing ”find the lost sock” game.  We’ve all played it.  You go looking for a pair of socks but end up with a bunch of singletons.  So you start looking everywhere for that one matching sock.  You start with the dryer, then move to the laundry hamper and then in desperation...

I usually bring a bottle of wine when I am invited out to parties.  It’s an easy thing to pick up and I know that it will be enjoyed.  This weekend, I am off to several holiday parties and I was thinking that it would be nice to bring something a little different.  I...

Every year we pick names for gift giving in our family for both the adults and the kids.  The kids give to the kids and so on.  In order to get your gift on Christmas day, everyone has to act out a charade.  It’s a great tradition that my kids and their cousins look...
