Most days I enjoy living in a small town except when I try to find something that is just not available locally. It’s not only about shopping but think of how easy it would be to find a mover NYC compared to mover insert small town. There is just more available in big cities.
Good thing [...]

Housework is something you do that nobody notices until you don’t do it. ~Author Unknown
This is my new favorite holiday, No Housework Day. No Housework day was April 7. I had planned to do something spectacular here on Housewife for it but, alas, it came and went without me noticing!
I have to admit that [...]

My husband usually empties his pockets in the same location each day. He knows that it is dangerous to leave his wallet in his pants because it’s likely it will get washed.
I try to remember to check the pockets but sometimes I am in a hurry and just throw the clothes in the wash. [...]

Today we are basically staying inside since it has been raining and just not a good day to get out. It’s usually days like today that are good for making plans for better weather days.
So, I’ve been thinking of some places we can go this summer. We would love to make the Tennessee Renaissance Festival [...]

We’ve been working on Rae’s room this past week. It still needs a lot of work. We have some painting to do and a few minor repairs. I noticed today that we need a new overhead lighting globe.
While something from Murray Feiss might be nice, it’s just not that practical for right now. So, we [...]

So, 2008 started off well enough. We were dieting. We were eating less and losing weight. Now, two months later, after being sick we have fallen off the wagon. It’s so hard to get back on.
Aside from restarting our dieting efforts with hoodia, we have to come up with a way to get back to [...]

Ever since we became parents, we haul around more stuff in our car than ever before. From the stroller to diapers to toys, our car is always a mess. I finally don’t have to carry around a diaper bag anymore but there is still a lot of gear that we have for the girl in [...]

I have to admit that I’m not a huge fan of mini-blinds, although you couldn’t tell that from looking at my house. Each window has a mini-blind adorning it. I would prefer to have roller shades on at least the bedroom windows but since it was easier to put up the mini-blinds, so we went [...]

With spring in the air, my mind turns to gardening and home improvement. One home improvement project is our bathroom. I would really like to spruce it up some.
I’ve been looking at bathroom vanities at the local home improvement store but will probably opt just to freshen up the one we have. I am buying [...]
