Musical Bedrooms

24 Jul 2008 11:05 AM

Instead of musical chairs, we will be playing musical bedrooms at my house. Well, it won't be quite like the game, because in the end, everyone will end up with a place to sleep. They won't each have a room of their own, but they'll each have a bed and some space to call their own.

Home Week in Review: July 14 - 20

20 Jul 2008 12:18 PM

Another week has gone by and here is our review: Ironing: The Chore we love to hate I guess I don't really hate it (although my recent bought with ironing did inspire the title) but let's just say, it's not my favorite thing to do.

The Phone is Ringing!

19 Jul 2008 12:02 PM

The home phone (landline), my cell phone, and my husband's cell phone are each ringing at this very moment. When you have kids, especially teens and 'tweens, it may seem like the phone never stops ringing. Even if you don't have kids, it may ring quite a bit.

Outdoor Living: Not a New Idea

18 Jul 2008 11:24 AM

Stop and think about it. While there may not have been as much fanfare over outdoor living in the past, or it may not have even been described in that way, it's not a new concept. Look at older homes in the South or even newer designs created with that old-fashioned, southern mansion charm.

The old Nesting Instinct

15 Jul 2008 10:50 AM

It is a built in feature for many women, an actual instinct that drives us to care for our homes and our families. We want our "nests" to be the place where we, and each of our family members, most want to be. So, we clean and fluff and rearrange and redecorate then rinse and repeat.

Ironing: The Chore we love to hate

14 Jul 2008 10:12 AM

Well, the title may not be completely accurate. There are people who actually enjoy ironing. I just don't happen to be one of them. I guess I don't really hate it (although my recent bought with ironing did inspire the title) but let's just say, it's not my favorite thing to do.

Home Week in Review: July 7 - 13

On Being Practical

12 Jul 2008 08:38 AM

Being practical might sound boring. Boring or not, it is an essential quality when it comes to maintaining a household. If you are feeling the economic crunch, these practical tips might just come in handy. The best part is they are pretty painless.

Treatment of Special Items when Conquering Clutter

11 Jul 2008 10:38 AM

Mary Ann really pegged it when she coined the term "I can't get rid of that syndrome." It's something I think everyone can relate to at some point in time. There are just things in our lives that we hold onto for one reason or another.

Finding Time for Yard Work

09 Jul 2008 12:12 PM

Who is not busy these days? We all seem to spend more and more time working just to make ends meet. So, after putting in more hours at work than you plan, where do you squeeze in some time (and energy!) for yard work? It is not always easy.
