Ease Stress with Tension Rods

by Melissa Leave a Comment

Ease Stress with Tension Rods I am always looking for ways to get and stay organized. Being able to easily see what I have saves me time and money. When I can grab and go, I am more efficient, and when I know what I have, I save money by not buying duplicates of the same items. There have been times I’ve ended up with 3 bottles of glass cleaner,

Summer is for Sleeping In AND Life Lessons

by Melissa Leave a Comment

Summer is for Sleeping In and Life Lessons Kids look forward to summer all year long. The reward of long days spent sleeping late, lounging, and having fun without a schedule or homework keeps them focused just enough on completing their work during the school year. Kids need time to unwind and deserve a break. However, they don’t have to stop learning. The hustle and bustle of school, part-time jobs,

Jell-O and 8 Ways to Improve Communication

by Melissa Leave a Comment

“What? You want me to make Jell-O,” my husband turned and looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. I erupted with laughter and informed him I was going to take a SHOWER! Miscommunication is everywhere in our lives. In the case of the Jell-O/shower mix-up, it was funny, but most of the time it is very frustrating! The foundation for every successful relationship needs to include the

Making Organization Work

by Melissa Leave a Comment

A system is only as good as the effort put into it… Those words woke me up this morning. I have a confession to make; I can come up with many ways to get organized, but I’m not always great at following through with keeping things organized. Case in point, my method for managing papers, coupons, etc. has gotten out of control due to neglect. I have placed folders in

Perception is Reality and the Great Yanny Laurel Debate

by Melissa Leave a Comment

Unless you were living under a rock with no wi-fi, you probably participated in the great “Yanny v Laurel” debate. Listen and let us know which word you hear. My friend and I both listened to the recording and were shocked to find that we both heard something COMPLETELY different. How could I hear “Laurel” while she heard “Yanny?!” We both thought the other was joking, because those words really

Whether you love to cook or not, I’m sure storing and retrieving your pot and pan lids can leave you frustrated. Mine have just been rattling around the bottom of a cabinet forever. I’ve been looking for a way to store them in a way that I can easily access the one I need, but nothing really spoke to me until I was in the Dollar Store. I had the

Running on Empty…6 Ways to Refuel

by Melissa 2 Comments

Running on Empty…6 Ways to Refuel I saw the funniest meme on FaceBook the other day. It was a Pinterest-worthy picture of a sandwich made from the beginning of the school year contrasted with one from the end of the school year, which was literally a carrot tucked inside of a piece of bread. I wish I had saved the picture! It really depicts how I feel right now, and
