DIY Homework Caddy

Let me just start by saying that this DIY Homework Caddy has been a lifesaver at our house. We don't really have room in our house for an extra desk for the kids to work at, so they have to do their schoolwork at the kitchen table. Before I put together these caddies, cleaning up the mess after the kids were done their work was just a nightmare. You know--glue sticks, crayons, pencils all over the table--and no where really to put them. And of course, having limited funds, we were looking for some very inexpensive items to make our…

It’s Still Winter: A Bucket List and Some Other Things…

It's raining today. And icy. And gloomy. I am naturally a pessimist, but I don't like gloom.  I don't like dark and dreary and things dragging me down and negativity.  I think that's because I know that, the more I'm around it, the more it brings me down.  And the longer I'm down the worse I get.  So needless to say, since I can't control the weather, I'm feeling somewhat gloomy.  Like an Eeyore. No offense to Eeyore, but I'd rather not be him.  I'd rather be like Pooh.  Or even Olaf-like.  (Can you tell we watch a lot of…

Work in Progress Wednesday: Summer Activity Calendar

It's cold outside!  If you live up North, you know what I mean. And for some reason, even though my family is from the northern part of the country, I've never gotten used to the cold weather.  I could spend the rest of my life in the south. Brrrrrr! So today, I'm thinking happy, warm thoughts.  In other words...summer... I know it's a bit early, but as I say every year it's never to early to start planning for summer! And even though we don't have any funds right now, I'm going to go ahead and plan for the best; hopefully…
