Christmas Wish List
Nov 30, 2007 Categorized: Igununce •
My kids are busily making their lists for Santa Claus this year, so I thought I’d post my own Top Ten for Christmas, just in case Santa reads my blog.

The Nightly Collapse
Nov 27, 2007 Categorized: Igununce • Life with Kids •
I did it again. I do it every night. And every night I try to talk myself out of it. In four brief seconds from the time I close the kids’ bedroom door to the time I round the corner…

I Am Not a Nerd
Nov 24, 2007 Categorized: Geek Central •
I’m not your stereotypical nerd. I don’t wear funny glasses (unless my contacts are bothering me.) I don’t know much about computers (except how to hand-code websites and integrate them into content management systems). And I do not own pocket-protectors (I don’t need them since I have a Blackberry.)

A Simple Christmas

“Put ‘em back on, Hunter. Quick!” I heard Will say as I was cleaning the kitchen after dinner. Bill had the bath water running, and I had told the kids they had to put all the ornaments back on the tree before they could get in the bath.

An Empty Egg Carton
Nov 22, 2007 Categorized: Life with Kids •
I usually don’t think anything about an empty egg carton. I just throw it in the trash can. Unless, of course, it is handed to me by my 2 1/2-year-old daughter on the cosmetic aisle of Wal-mart.

Digital Organization, Part I
Nov 13, 2007 Categorized: Organize • Simplify •
A couple of days ago I blogged about my weekly planning system. I really love paper, and I like that I can see it without logging in to anything. My biggest gripe about it, though, is that you can’t delete it and start over if it gets messy.

Bell-bottom Blues

There are things in life that are worse than shopping for new jeans. But not very many. I can’t believe I actually looked forward to getting a new pair of jeans today.

A Week in Advance
Nov 12, 2007 Categorized: Organize •
People often ask me how I do everything I do. Usually, I answer with something silly, like, “I don’t sleep much,” “I never watch TV,” or “My house doesn’t stay very clean.” But really, I get plenty of sleep, and while I don’t watch much TV at all, my house is relatively clean and neat most of the time. While I was talking with a friend this week, I realized how indeed I do fit everything in.

The First Winter
Nov 11, 2007 Categorized: Musings •
I saw a red tree today. You may find it funny for me to mention that on a crisp November day. But in a place where trees are too scarce to mention, finding one with leaves other than green ones is a rare and special treat. I had almost forgotten it was fall.

The Heather Kate Household
Nov 10, 2007 Categorized: Life with Kids • News •
Since I’ve been absent from my blogging habit for so long, I’m sure my out-of-towners are a little out of the loop on my current life situation. I thought I’d take a minute to update you on the happenings of our household.
