Let me tell you a little bit about my husband. He is the most amazing man! I know you all think your husband is the most amazing man, and you’re right. But mine is the most amazing man for me.

He cooks (and loves it), he picks up around the house, he takes the kids to school for me each morning, he can shop for me (and has great taste), and he is a fantastic gift giver! Think back to Y2K. People were stressing out over our whole infrastructure shutting down. None …

Yesterday’s Tip of the Day was to use your children’s artwork in your home. I have also posted in the past about my daughter Grace being an artist. We have our children’s art throughout our home.

It’s the end of November, beginning of December and she was in third grade (8 years old). …

In fact, it was hard to tell who was more excited in my home: me, or my ten year old daughter Grace. She’s at that age where she wants to listen to every phone conversation I have, hang out with the adults and listen to us talk and basically be involved in every single thing that I …

Our family LOVES to watch American Idol.  In fact, that’s one of my Lazy Mom tips to pass along.  Find a show that you can watch as a family, and then dangle it over your kids like bait.  Our kids aren’t allowed to sit down to watch American Idol until all homework is done, rooms are straight and baths have been taken.  It’s not only great that they hurry through these things without having to be nagged, but as a bonus we get quality family time.
