Household life and balance…?
Balance? I'm not sure that gets achieved daily in my world, but maybe over the long run. Each day is a new adventure as school is out and both Tim and I are in the house together all day. Finding new rhythm to each getting our own work done - job hunting and design respectfully, … Continue reading Household life and balance…?
More silly moments.
Upon this day my ability to make one more decision was limited... especially when I had not yet had a thought about lunch and Uriah was already standing at the refrigerator begging for food. So, I did what any great Mom would do - I let him decide what was going to be on the … Continue reading More silly moments.
Where did 4 weeks go?
Do you ever have moments in life when the time just seems to fly until you realize all of the little things are really adding up and begging to be completed?

Organizing… the basement?
Oh dear! How can one thought of organizing the basement lead to nearly every room in the house...

The Living Room is now not quite as heavy looking, and I can now … Continue reading Organizing… the basement?
The Mixer.
Uriah was crying and dragging me to the kitchen. But every snack option choice and even the question "Are you hungry?" was met with an emphatic shake of the head no while the crying continued.

What other reason make you excited to organize?I want to create … Continue reading What’s the best way to organize?
A Cut… do I cry – “goodness no”!
Another silly moment... at just under 2 there have not been to many cuts that bleed yet in my little guys life (he's kept it many to scraps and bruises!). But upon this day he got a little cut that began to bleed. Now, I would think that the typical reaction would be to cry … Continue reading A Cut… do I cry – “goodness no”!
Gross Factor Moments
Another silly moment in the Haxton household... It had been a few weeks since we had the last group of people over for a party. My son was playing on one of his "missions" which today took him to the intriguing, mysterious cave world of what is know to adults as only the "place under … Continue reading Gross Factor Moments
