Thanks for stopping by my blog! The hats I wear include wife (to a retired Army field artilleryman), mom to three super busy teens, and high school math teacher. In my “free time” I love cooking, reading, creating (mostly papercrafts), photography, travelling, and exploring the PNW with my family…you know, all the usual things!
I hope you’ll find some inspiration, entertainment, and something that makes you smile here. I look forward to hearing from you!

Organizing with Bullet Journals
I love making lists…that’s my happy place. When I first read about bullet journals this summer, I was immediately intrigued. They’re a little pricey, however, so I didn’t pursue that creative avenue. I may have already had a couple or … Continue reading
Summer Screentime Checklist
So my kids, while not thrilled, were at least mildly happy to see this Summer Screentime Checklist reappear on the frig this summer. During the school year, we stick to the no screentime on weekdays rule, but in the summer, … Continue reading
Dry Erase Chore Charts
I’ve posted a couple of other chore charts through the years, but the hooligans keep growing, and I keep giving them new responsibilities (like cleaning the bathrooms and sweeping…which I hate!). I thought, why not break out a new chart … Continue reading
Simple Washi Tape Storage
I admit it…I have a problem. Well, lots of them when it comes to collecting craft supplies, but today I’m specifically admitting to an ever-growing washi tape stash. A quirk of mine is that I want to have everything within … Continue reading
Homemade Color Catchers
Okay, before you roll your eyes and think I’m completely insane, just let me say that it took me almost two years to actually take the time to make these Homemade Color Catchers since I bought the supplies. I kept … Continue reading
Simple Screen Time System
During the school year, we follow the “No Screen Time Rule” Monday through Thursday, then the kids get an hour each of the weekend days (counting Friday). As first Spring Break arrived, and now with the approach of summer vacation, … Continue reading

A Five-Minute Project: Recharger Station
All those recharger and power cords on my kitchen desk drive me insane! I really think they multiply overnight sometimes. So I decided to hide them. Now, I know you can buy recharger stations, but every time Michaels has photo … Continue reading

Now to Organize the Hooligans!
Summer is such a paradox…time seems to be crawling by when everyone is home and bored, but then when I look at the calendar, school starts in six weeks. We’ve done a lot this summer, and from now until school, … Continue reading

I Hope Organizing Is Not My Superpower
I mean, that would be handy and all, but there are times that I feel like it’s all I do. Compulsive much? Me? Movers fear me because everything is so well-organized it looks like a deceptively small amount o’stuff we … Continue reading

Repurposed Marker Organizer
My markers make me crazy! They should be stored horizontally, since they are dual-tipped, so one end doesn’t go dry. Like everything else, I want to be able to reach them at any moment while I’m creating (which makes for … Continue reading
