I'm having an interesting day. Feeling kinda emotional and overwhelmed with stuff...homemaker stuff. So I just signed up to the FlyLady.com mails in hopes that their baby steps system will help me find some sort of routine that I can follow and enjoy. There is clutter...
It’s about being a homemaker
Like many women in this world today, I wear many hats in this household. I run a business from home and I am also responsible for maintaining our house on a day-to-day basis. I struggle to find a balance between the two and perhaps that is because there always seems...
Looking for new blogs to haunt?
I've added a couple new pages to the blog...those little tab things at the top of the site when you're viewing this blog via the web and not in a reader or your email. I also added some favorite links to other blogs and sites I frequent so if you're looking for some...
Beware of the evil cat haters
Last Thursday, I was returning from my morning walk with Ayla and our neighbor from across the street was ringing our doorbell to let me know my car door had been left open. Strangely enough, I don't remember leaving it open (especially as far as it was when he showed...

Meal plan: Revisiting some favorites
I finally got back into making meal plans again. I went all out this time and did 3 weeks at once. I haven't stuck to it too well so far but at least our freezer is FULL of food and when I do feel like being a good homemaker, I have a variety of things to choose from....
I hope you get a virus…you & your computer!
In addition to a couple errands I had to go run today, I have the pleasure of banishing a virus from my primary computer. I say primary since we have 3 PC's and 2 laptops running at all times around here...and it tends to get a bit confusing. But this thing snuck up...
A little inspiration from our neighbors
Last Saturday after Stefan's parents headed home, we got the chance to go tour our neighbor's beautiful timber frame ("fachwerk") house. We have been trying and meaning to get over there for months, after finally speaking to the owner for the first time many months...
Goodbye dear old friend
It's sperrmüll time again here and that means there are piles of junk on every street corner in our town, along with tons of white panel vans with Polish license plates cruising around. The vans started appearing on Saturday morning already, waiting with anticipation...
