I found this little table, lonely, in the rain, by the side of a road in our neighborhood. Someone had just thrown it away. Now it has a whole new look… Totally free table transformed. So how did this ugly duckling become a swan? Turns out all that was needed was some elbow grease and TLC. [...]

This morning, I explained how completely overwhelmed I was feeling. I couldn’t decide what to do first. I was paralyzed. So, I went shopping. (Smile.) To be fair, I didn’t set out to go shopping this morning. After my son’s honors program, I came home for lunch and then figured out that I didn’t have [...]

Do you ever have that feeling when you have so much to do, you don’t know where to start, so you just feel paralyzed? That’s where I am this morning. I’m trying to figure out where and how to start. I know that I need to change the bed in and clean the guest room [...]

Welcome to Finish It Friday, a series I started last year but then had to stop during my school year. Today’s Finish It project was my garage.

First of all, let me just tell you that an epsom salt bath might be my new favorite thing. Cures soreness. And I am sore. Today, I worked on reorganizing (and cleaning out) the garage into a new workshop for me, while still having enough storage for all our sports equipment, coolers, etc. I’m not [...]
