WFMW: Organizing Photo Albums

I take a lot of pictures, and while I’m trying to get better about printing fewer (partly so that I can actually keep up with getting them in albums…I’m currently, ahem, a year behind), I still do have a lot to put in albums.
Since I prefer my albums to be pretty plain, it can be [...]

WFMW: My Mom Would Be So Proud!

This week’s WFMW theme is “Back to School.” I had already written up a lot of this post, and just decided to turn it into a WFMW since I haven’t participated in a while!
There are so many things that I miss being able to tell my mom, even dumb little things, and this is [...]

WFMW: Food at the Ballgame

Several times a summer, we take one or more of the boys to a Cardinals baseball game, and in a few days, we’ll be going again.  We all love being at the ballpark.  And the game is only a small part of the attraction…the food gets the rest of my the boys’ attention.  They’re always [...]

WFMW: Pricing Garage Sale Items

When I had a garage sale last spring, I was completely overwhelmed by the prospect of pricing everything (isn’t everyone?). I don’t like to go to sales where things aren’t marked, so not marking them wasn’t an option. My mom was getting ready to come spend a couple of days with us at [...]

WFMW: Keeping Track of Gifts

When Luke was born and we had several baby showers, I took the time to write in his baby book the gifts that he had received. I might have even done that for his first birthday, but since then, I’ve kept track on the computer.
I have a folder called “gift lists” in my [...]

WFMW: Making Time for Mom

A couple of weeks ago I was asked to speak at a Moms and Tots group at my church on the topic of “Making Time for Mom.” Since I had the work done, I thought I might as well make this a blog post, too! I’ll do my best to keep it brief, [...]

WFMW: No-Slip Cutting Boards

For a long time I’ve had a Pampered Chef cutting board, which came with a non-slip pad when I got it. I use it under all of my cutting boards so they stay still on my counter. And just last week I stuck it under a cookie sheet that I was using as [...]

WFMW: Redbox, and a Little Hint

We heart Redbox…movies for a dollar a day and you can return them to any Redbox location? Count me in. I loathe paying rental fees at Blockbuster now that we’ve had these around here for a few years.
Here’s a little tip, if you’re thinking of renting a movie from Redbox (especially a brand-new [...]

WFMW: The Timer

If your kids are anything like mine, they don’t like being told that an activity they are enjoying is about to end. And, if you’re anything like me, you’ll say something like, “In five minutes you need to be done playing the Wii” and then you walk off and do laundry and clean up [...]

WFMW: Movies

My WFMW tip is short and sweet this week:
We rarely go to the movies (like once a year probably for grown-up films…sad, I know) and periodically rent movies. So that my husband can go to Redbox or Blockbuster and pick something that we’d both like, I keep a list of movies I’d like to [...]
