Have you heard of soap nuts? They aren’t really nuts but rather, a berry. Completely natural, kind to the environment and CHEAP. I’ve used Amway laundry detergent for 30 years and have always been happy with it. It was one of the very first to be made without all the fillers and is phosphate-free. It’s…
An Ordinary Life
Maybe it’s just me – I readily admit that I’m nosy – but I find it interesting to hear how other people spend their days, particularly women at home. People often ask what I *do* and my best answer is that I’m not sure but it takes all day. I decided to think back on…
My day as a 1950s housewife…
While searching for a Leave it to Beaver video clip to share this past Monday, I found myself thinking about what it was like to be a 1950s housewife. I realize that what we saw on television was an idealized view – I’m sure that most housewives didn’t always vacuum in high heels and pearls. …
The Fine Art of Clothesline Laundry
There is nothing like the scent of laundry dried outdoors on a clothesline. There is an art to it, however. A friend sent me the following great tips, granting me permission to share it with newsletter or blog readers if I so desired. Enjoy! The Fine Art of Clothesline Laundry by Barbara Poole On…

Prodigal Pup
*UPDATE: I got the photo uploader to work so here are the pictures I took of Iggy Pup on the evening of his return. The pictures don’t really show how skinny he is but if he’ll stick around, we’ll have him filled out again soon. Iggy Pup disappeared about a month ago. As a young,…
How to fold a fitted sheet…
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…
