Why Cleaning Is So Rewarding

Why Cleaning Is So Rewarding

With Miche going out of business, it was time to inventory my collection. To do that, required cleaning out the basement.  You have no idea what our basement has degenerated to.  It’s a cesspool filled with old toys, broken things, piles of tiny little things like nerf bullets, lego pieces, linkin logs, bakugan to name a few.

We may never know.

Coffee Catastrophe…AVERTED!

I, like most adults, must have my morning coffee.  MUST.  I have a Keurig machine to make the process of getting the caffeine into my bloodstream as easy as possible. Now, on occasion, I run out of the little K-Cups. That occasion occurred this morning.  I figured ok, no worries, I have that sampler box… Continue Reading

Debunking Summer Kid Myths

It seems when summer rolls around some rules are suspended according to kids.  What is it about these two months that turn our world upside down?  Some things I have heard:   “I don’t need to take a shower – I was in the pool” Sorry Junior, you still need soap – chlorine, kid pee… Continue Reading
