Spring Cleaning ~ Tips and Motivation

March 18, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 8 Comments

Spring Cleaning Tips graphic

Have you started spring cleaning yet? Or do you spread the tasks out over the year so you don’t have to partake in this springtime ritual? Spreading out the cleaning makes more sense when one’s time and energy resources aren’t what they used to be (um, like me?). However, there is something rather satisfying about…

A week-at-a-glance: fitting it all in

March 10, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Free customizable printable available here.  I’ve studied it from every angle and finally had to admit that there is no way for me to have a regular daily schedule/routine. Not only is every day different around here but each week brings new and different activities. Our lives simply do not follow a *normal* pattern and…

The Value of a Homemaker

September 17, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Hosted by Living, Learning, and Loving Life, Cabin Goddess, and Tea with Dee. For one day, we want to drown out negativity and celebrate the beauty and pride of women. These days it seems that some people want us to be ashamed of being women. They want us to believe that we’re less: less intelligent, less important, less human….

Project Of the Week (POW)

September 10, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

I got a “brilliant” idea this morning at about 6 a.m. while I was trying to decide if I’d be able to go back to sleep. David had to leave early and will be away this week on business. That’s when I decided I ought to pick a project to tackle while he’s away. I…

Back to Flylady?

June 12, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

It’s been a week since I mentioned my plans to implement a summer routine. I’d like to say I have it all worked out and it’s going just swimmingly. But I can’t. It seems that my days vary so much that it’s hard to come up with a consistent schedule. I think I’m just going…

31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 14 – The Exercise Room

October 17, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I finally tackled a long-postponed task today. Our exercise room has been a dumping ground ever since our Happyland Music Festival back in May. Actually, that’s not entirely true. I *did* have it sort of straightened up at one time – at least enough that I could get in there to use the exercise equipment….

Catching up on cleaning up

August 11, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Have you ever had one of those days when you look around the house and realize that, for whatever reason, things are not as they should be? Or perhaps that’s the situation every morning? That was the case for me when I started working on this post earlier in the week. Last week was busy…

Happyland Music Fest – Part I

June 1, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

We are still trying to recover from Happyland Music Fest last weekend. I did get my kitchen clean and I moved all the stuff left in my family room to the exercise room and closed the door…which is my latest excuse for not getting on the treadmill. The house is basically back to livable standards….
