Wednesday, January 27th, 2010The idea of the housewife in apron and pearls permeates even my line of thinking when it comes to the title “Homekeeper”. The problem is, that is where the trivialization of this role began. Being a Keeper At Home is far more valuable than Keeping House.
Keeping House implies housework, drudgery, and simple servitude. A housekeeper [...]

Clean Your Desk!
Monday, January 11th, 2010Today is National Clean Your Desk Day.
Really.
And that’s a good thing. Cuz if I didn’t have to write about it, I probably would continue to allow my desk to be our CATCH-ALL.

Through the years, in a variety of office settings and personal journaling at home – I’ve learned what I like and what I don’t like. That’s [...]
Works for Me Wednesday: Take A Nap
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009Okay – so I am really fatigued lately (due to my “Advanced Maternal Age” and all), and find it NECESSARY to take naps in order to avoid The Zombie Zone. Sleep Deprivation is my enemy!
But let me just throw this out there that sometimes a Nap can be a Mom’s Best Friend. Forget the diamonds. [...]
Things I Love Thursday: My Graceworks Binder
Thursday, November 5th, 2009Yep – I’m a list maker. I think I always have been. And I have never felt as together as when I’ve had a good Day Planner to help.
I just recently got a new setup from GraceWorks.
Gracworks has BEAUTIFUL, AFFORDABLE binders available – and although I prefer notebook size, the desk size is obviously more [...]
