So this actually happened yesterday, but thought I’d share… It was more of a Monday for me than usual. I spent way too long looking for my work laptop, because I had placed it on top of a dresser to hide it from my son..but then forgot about it. Then I was looking for myContinue reading “Cutting Hair with Pregnancy Brain”

“Modern” Magnetic Key Rack
My husband and I finally got tired of going “hey, have you seen my keys?!” before running out the door. We’ve discussed key racks before but never made it a priority. After all, when you had to redo carpets, then tile, then appliances, then fireplaces..etc. etc. – you get the idea – trying to chooseContinue reading ““Modern” Magnetic Key Rack”
French Toast Casserole and Brazilian Cheese bread
I’m a stress baker, and it’s a good distraction. So the weekend after I received the horrible news about my baby, I spent it trying two new recipes: French Toast Casserole and Brazilian Cheese Bread. Neither came out perfect, and one definitely came out better than the other, but it was nice for a distraction.Continue reading “French Toast Casserole and Brazilian Cheese bread”
Caramel Apple Spice knockoff
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been feeling a little under the weather so have been sleeping any chance I get rather than writing! Anyways, I tried a new recipe today. Caramel Apple Spice, like from Starbucks, using this recipe. I used Treetop apple juice and Hershey’s caramel sauce, but did make theContinue reading “Caramel Apple Spice knockoff”
Fixing Garage Doors that Won’t Close and other tips
I, apparently, am now the garage fixer in the family. We’ve had issues in the past with the garage door not working. It would start rolling down, but then roll back up. If it starts to close, but rolls back up and the light ont he garage motor blinks several times, this means that something’sContinue reading “Fixing Garage Doors that Won’t Close and other tips”
Homeowner Task 1: Label that Breaker!
So an ex-coworker of mine recently bought a house and asked for tips from other homeowners. I couldn’t think of anything too major off the top of my head, butt somebody else mentioned something that made me go “oh yeah!” – labeling the breaker box. It might seem silly, but if you ever need toContinue reading “Homeowner Task 1: Label that Breaker!”
Peppermint white hot chocolate (or mocha)
So, as I am thinking about being pregnant again, I wanted to make some truly non-caffeinated drinks. One I love from Starbucks is their peppermint white mocha/hot chocolate. Granted, it does tend to be overly sweet for me, and I always feel bad about making a million adjustments (no whip for me, nonfat, less syrups..).Continue reading “Peppermint white hot chocolate (or mocha)”
Fixing loose springs/contacts in battery powered items
So, I like to get used or hand me down toys (and clothes) for my baby for a variety of reasons – mostly because I never know what will actually interest him and those toys add up! Some toys I get from generous coworkers and family and friends. Others, I pick up from my localContinue reading “Fixing loose springs/contacts in battery powered items”
Garlic Grilled Cheese and Tomato Bisque
My hubs loves grilled cheese. I’m somewhat neutral about it, but I did find this garlic grilled cheese recipe that makes me love grilled cheese too. The other part of it for me, though, is enjoying it with a delicious tomato soup or bisque recipe. I brought it up to some coworkers, one of whomContinue reading “Garlic Grilled Cheese and Tomato Bisque”
Brownies – Take 2 and Lessons Learned
So, I’ve been trying to find a good brownie recipe to add to my repertoire. I have a chocolate chip cookie recipe and a snickerdoodle recipe I love, but no brownie one yet. I wrote about the last one I tried – it was decent but not addictive. Well – I found an addictive recipeContinue reading “Brownies – Take 2 and Lessons Learned”
