New Years(ish) Front Room Spruce Up

In my last post, I mentioned the piles of stuff I’ve had to deal with lately. Here are photos of the state of my front room, taken a couple of days ago. I finally got up the gumption to straighten up the room. I took down the tree, organized the ornaments, and wound the lightsContinue Reading

Save $30.00 By Giving Yourself an Outdoor Mani/Pedi!

The way I look at it, giving yourself a home mani-pedi will save you about $30.00! (I’m a good tipper, so for me a visit to the nail salon can cost even more.) If you pick up a nice glow from the sun, you’re saving $20.00 for a tanning or spray tanning session. If your child can be entertained outside by bubbles and lawn toys, you’ve just pocketed another $20.00 for child care! No need to pay a nanny or babysitter while you go and get your nails did… you can just hang out with your child while you both get some quality time outdoors.* It’s a win-win situation. The total money saved according to my calculations is $70.00!Continue Reading

The Struggle for Creativity

I want the best of both worlds. I want the opportunity to be seriously creative, and focused on my creative projects with no distractions, interruptions or interference. At the same time, I want to give my children the chance to exercise their own creativity and imaginations without feeling stifled. I don’t want my own creative projects to become a negative experience for them (i.e., me yelling at them to ‘Stop touching that!’ and/or ‘Go Entertain Yourself and Leave Mommy alone!’)Continue Reading
