Works For Me Wednesday

Bag Lady

February 7, 2012

I went on a cleaning binge last night. I don’t function well when things are cluttered and messy. That doesn’t mean I don’t have clutter and messes in my house. It simply means I function better when things are as they should be. I found about 30 grocery bags under my sink. I hate to [...]

Really Cute Homemade Valentines

February 1, 2012

Last year, I created some great Valentine cards for the boys. I have never been a huge fan of the little character Valentines because the boys end up ripping half of them just trying to get them separated. So when I saw several versions of these cute homemade Valentines in Blogville, I decided to give it a shot even [...]

It’s A Birthday Gift, Suckers!

January 25, 2012

I don’t consider myself a crafty person. Well, that is unless you count the fact that I scrapbook. But since I haven’t scrapbooked for well over two years, do I really still qualify as a scrapbooker? I’m thinking that maybe I should say I used to be a scrapbooker. A little over a year ago I set up a [...]

A great tip with a side of bad photography

January 18, 2012

I recently told Stevie we would not be buying one more Lego because the Legos are taking over our house. His dresser is covered with Legos. He and Alex both have tables in their rooms that display “their creations.” And we won’t even talk about the ”mini figures” that are all over this house. When I said, “No [...]

Proof That I Am A Hot Mess

December 21, 2011

I attended Becky’s annual cookie exchange this evening. You know, the cookie exchange with a CROWN at stake. (My cookies are in the Longaberger basket in the lower left corner). I started looking for a recipe weeks ago, and I did a trial run of my [THREE STEP] cookie this past weekend. I was sure [...]

Christmas Card Addressing Party

December 13, 2011

There are few things I like better than a get-together with girlfriends. Especially one that involves laughing and food. A few weeks ago, my friend Christina sent an e-mail inviting me to a Christmas card addressing party. I have never attended anything like that, but I had hundreds of cards that needed stuffed and addressed, [...]

The McFamily Christmas Letter

December 7, 2011

It is that time of year again. You know, the time of year where I spend days, weeks, planning, writing, and pouring over the McFamily Christmas letter. Each year I wonder if I’ll be able to come up with something unique, and every year I give it my best shot. This year’s letter looks like [...]

Rebel With A Cause

October 19, 2011

I have been wanting a DSLR (digital, single lens reflex) camera for quite sometime. And then my boys signed up for baseball, and the best picture I could get from the stands with my point and shoot was one like this, Which is fine if you have no desire to see your kid’s face. Or [...]

Along Came A Spider

October 4, 2011

It’s no surprise that I love Halloween. What’s not to love? I love the color orange. I love watching kids traipse around in colorful costumes. I love crisp evenings. And it’s no surprise that I enjoy all manner of chocolaty, sugary sweet treats. I typically host a pumpkin painting party at my house after school the week [...]

Mum’s The Word

September 27, 2011

I left the house early this morning with a to-do list about three miles long. I hopped in the Jeep, cranked up Third Day and headed into town. It dawned on me that it was a little cool to have the windows out of the Jeep, but I was hopeful that it would warm up. One [...]
