Multitasking has become the bane of the new millennium. It’s a curse to keep up. Job security, that’s for sure, since we never actually get anything completed there will always be work to do. Maybe that’s just me? In all fairness, “multitasking” was a thing long before it was a thing. But back then (pick…

Babies! Kidding, they bring May Showers! Baby Showers that is. Last year I was busy with Bridal Showers, this year it’s Baby Showers. If you’ll recall, weddings were a challenge for me… I have a much better attitude about baby showers because they’re basically an early baby birthday party and I love BIRTHDAYS! Babies aren’t…

This winter must be stopped. I know I live in NORTHern Illinois. I know it’s technically still winter. I know that Spring, lovely lovely Spring, does not officially arrive for three more weeks. I know. But none of that knowledge changes the fact that I am so… over… winter. *sigh* I can only imagine that…

I have a dirty little secret. I’m a closet cleaner. Not that I have closet cleaning compulsions, the hangers aren’t arranged at 33 degree angles and nothing is color coordinated.
