My method of dealing with sheet folding is simply not to do it. I have one set of high thread count sheets. Every Monday morning I remove them, wash and dry, then at some point before we go to bed, I put them back on. With the time I save not folding sheets, I iron…
A day in my life…part two…
Well, obviously I didn’t update yesterday as I had planned. I kept track of what I was doing up until about 3:15 and then it all became a blur of household tasks, phone calls, and various interruptions. In other words, a totally normal day. Here’s what I did manage to record: 8:30 Tea With Dee…
A day in my life…
For a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that I hope it will help me accomplish a lot, I’m keeping track of what I do today. Because there’s a good chance some of you are almost as nosy as I am, I’m going to share it here. I’ll probably check in here…

A Day in My Life…

You’ve probably already seen this as it’s made its way around the Internet: The Good Wife’s Guide (from a 1950s-era home economics manual) Have dinner ready: Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready for your husband. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about…
Sense of Accomplishment
Ah, the joy of a task completed…and one that is visible to others! I have worked off and on all day cleaning the patio which adjoins the flower bed I weeded and mulched earlier. It has been quite hot today so I have had to take it in spurts but it’s done! Lots of leaves…
