Room Switcheroo

We are constantly brainstorming, or so it seems, to ensure we are using our space to its maximum capacity. This has been the set up in the kids’ room for a year or more, I think.  We found this loft bed at Ikea that was tall enough for the crib to fit right underneath! Ingenious,…

Some App Love

Aren’t apps fun? I thought I would share some new educational iPhone {or iPad & iTouch} apps that I ran across. Stack the States.  I love how cute the little states are! You answer trivia questions about the states and then try to stack them as high as you can! This was voted Best Kids…

Menu Monday

I’m gonna try to post my menu on Mondays in the hopes that doing so will somehow drum up some motivation and perhaps some accountability to keep it up.   We’ll see. The plan this week… Monday… Turkey Bacon Cheddar Croissants Tuesday… Slow Cooked Asian Pork Chops Wednesday… Broccoli Chicken Casserole Thursday… Mini Meatloaf Friday……

Cling-on

  ♥ the little man… …my little Cling on man… At least he rewards me with sweet smiles like these!

M.S.E…. Day Three & Four

I am loving this “carefree” week of no dinner responsibilities!  I don’t know if it’s something I’ll keep up with doing every week…. just cause Sundays are crazy, and I am often trying to get other important things done in the afternoon like grocery shopping and lesson plans. I definitely can say that the time…

M.S.E…. Day Two

Day Two arrived for my experiment, and on the menu was Ranch Chicken.  This is one of my oldest recipes!  I got a great Betty Crocker cookbook as a wedding present from my fellow teacher and roommate.  It was all about the basics and had step by step instructions for lots of things.  I guess…

M.S.E.… Day One!

Day One of the “Martha Stewart Experiment” was Turkey & Cheese Cups. One of the best things about the Experiment on Day One was the lack of the foreboding feeling normally hanging over my head throughout the day that I need to start dinner {all coordinated around Davis’s schedule of course} or worse… figure out…

The Martha Stewart Experiment

The title is really a misnomer, since Martha probably wouldn’t ever do this.  It would be SO beneath her culinary skills, I’m sure. But in my mind, if this experiment succeeds, I’m one step closer to being Martha-like. I am not a cook.  I do not claim in any way to be one,  just for…

The Organizing Finale…

The grand finale of all this organizing madness is the Master Closet.  For the age and size of our house, I am very thankful for the size closet we have!  When we renovated, Chris combined the closet space from both bedrooms to make ours and designed the space with a closet organizer.  Here’s the closet…

  Well… you know.  It’s not politically correct to finish that sentence, is it? The organizing challenge at A Bowl Full of Lemons has come to an end!  Let’s review, shall we? Here’s all the challenges and the ones I did and didn’t accomplish… Day 1 – Junk Drawer Day 2 – Computer Desk  {A…
