My sickness

January 21, 2010

Do you ever get so utterly tired with your saturated colors and patterns that look like a circus and NASCAR and rainbow all got together and had a love child and that love child is your house and you just want to whitewash and neutralize everything so you remove any and all elements in the [...]

Books on the Ground

January 18, 2010

Books on the ground
Books on the ground
Lookin’ like a fool with my books on the ground
With the pages gettin folded
Books turned sideways
Call your self a book lover, fussin at my kids cuz the books on the ground
Put those books away….I give up!

In the wise words of Randy “I’m gonna find some belts after this.”
I figured [...]

December 30, 2009

How Do You Read Blogs?

December 9, 2009

Since Nesting Place will be moving soon, I want to make sure you will be able to find the new nest. So I thought I’d ask you how you read your favorite blogs. Then I thought I’d explain a little about the different ways one can read blogs. Then I realized that I’m [...]

Yard Sale :: Postponed

October 23, 2009

Here’s the forecast. Let’s try again next weekend? Hopefully I’ll still have stuff to sell. I’m pulling so much out of the pile that it’s disgusting. But I’m also putting more stuff in.
My husband and I need to plan ahead so at this point, even if we wake up at 6am [...]

She…

July 30, 2009

If you haven’t figured it out already, I’m on vacation. Actually, I just came back from vacation early so I could repack and go to She Speaks. Oh, and my sister and I have/get to speak there. But it’s worth the stress because Emily and I get to share a hotel room [...]

A Non Informative, Time Wasting Post

June 9, 2009

I’m sposed to be being productive. I get the keys to the new place in 1 hour, 43 minutes and I can do nothing until then. My mind is full of wonderings of where sofas will go, if two twin beds will fit in any of the bedrooms and if the refrigerator had [...]

To Flash or Not to Flash

January 23, 2009

Darcy made a new button for your nesting pleasure. Click here for the code. I really like it and I’ve heard tell that some people aren’t crazy about blinking/flashing/rotating buttons like this one.

I’m taking kind of an informal survey in the comment section–tell me your thoughts. How do you feel about flashing buttons [...]

Food: More Entertaining Than Fabric?

December 17, 2008

My husband and I went to a Christmas party last week. The friends who hosted are one of those great couple friends who include you in everything. We are major moochers and take them up on all of their fine offers. I sure hope they don’t think we just like them [...]

It’s The Nester’s Birthday!

So… shhhhhh! Don’t tell her I [...]

My Baby

July 20, 2008

When I found out I was expecting my third child less than three months after giving birth to my second boy, I cried. For real. Not because I didn’t want any more children, I did. But, although my pregnancies are healthy I’m miserably nauseous and the memory of the previous one [...]

Too Busy to Blog

June 19, 2008

Two computers, three people.
Karla is staying at our house tonight. Apparently we were able to adequately convince one another of the fact that we are not killers so she is comfortable staying and I’m glad she’s here. It’s been so much fun to meet another fellow blogger in the flesh. [...]

Not Packing

May 19, 2008

I wish this post had a fantastic, creative decorating idea that would propel your home into instant show home status and me into instant fame. It doesn’t. But I hate fame anyway and show homes are impossible to live in. I did have a fun weekend. It was my dad’s birthday [...]

Bird Watching

May 12, 2008

You really need to see this door that Sissy painted. Don’t feel ashamed by her talent, she’s one of those artist types.
And Amy over at Heart of the Matter, my favorite homeschool magazine/website interviewed me as their featured homeshooler this week. I managed to embarrass myself quite nicely. You can read it [...]

Yard Sale?

April 30, 2008

I’ve got stuff that I don’t use or need. It’s decent stuff that I think would sell at a yard sale. But yard sales are so much work. This neighborhood is a horrible hood for sales too. Last year there was a neighborhood sale and I was the only one for [...]

The ugliest thing in my house

February 10, 2008

Well, it’s the ugliest thing next to me when I cannot find the icing to my toaster strudel.
It’s awful.I trust you not to laugh and reject me because of this abomination. Remember, we are renting.
It’s like something Donald Trump would pick out only worse. Cheaper. Like something his tightwad, uglier twin brother [...]

I Never Cease to Amaze Me

January 16, 2008

A toaster strudel has rarely seen the likes of my talent. With baded? bated? breath, actually coffee breath, and a steady hand I have created a masterpiece. As an intregal part of this healthy breakfast, I’m sure a pastry has never felt so complete.
Just so you know, this is not a one [...]

speaking of feet

December 8, 2007

This is completely gross. I’m so sorry but, I just have to show this… I saw the commercial a few minutes ago. The PEDEGG. It’s like a pumice stone only it scrapes your cracked up skin off your feet and then…you get to dump all of the dried skin in your [...]
