OMG – what a crazy week! We had 30+ inches of snow here on Tuesday. The kids were out of school on Tuesday and Wednesday. I worked from home, and it’s felt like three weeks in one. Well, I can’t not mention the big event this weekend – the Super Bowl – even though […]

Fettucine Alfredo
Today’s dinner bell post is more of an inspiration post. I do include my recipe for Alfredo sauce below, but unlike my past food posts, I’m not going to have a step-by-step meal plan. I think this is three weeks in a row of one of my “slouch” dinners. I promise that next week I’ll […]
Five tips for packing for vacation when you are a ‘P’
Packing for a trip when you are a ‘P’ (Lifestyle preference – see my Monday Musing for this week) can be a challenge. Making a commitment and decisions are difficult. The theory is that the “perceiving” means preferring to take in information – in other words, we are constantly re-evaluating our options based on any […]
MBTI
Have you ever heard of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator? If you are between the ages of 18-70, I would think you would have – in fact, maybe you’ve taken it several times by now. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a personality test. Well, to be more accurate, it’s an assessment based on a questionnaire […]
The Bin Dump – 1/24/15
Wow, can you believe that next week is the last week of January? I am both shocked and pleased. This winter is going by pretty quickly – even though we have two solids months of it left. I have another weekend of no plans, which is fine with me – maybe just hang out with […]
Laundry

Official declaration: I don’t like to spend time on mundane chores! Some are a necessary evil, however, […]
Crockpot Chicken
Menu: Crock-pot Chicken * Noodles * Salad Time to dinner: 20 minutes* So, after I told you why I am not a fan of the crockpot, today I’m going to share with you one of the few crockpot/slow cooker recipes that I make during the week. My sister Lisa gave me this recipe many, many years […]
It’s a crock
True confession time: I do not like crock pot cooking. I know, I know! As a working mom, I should love the ability to “set it and forget it” and come home to a ready meal. Well, here’s the thing – it’s a bunch of lies. The crock pot might be great for someone […]
The Bin Dump – 1/17/15
Ah, a three-day weekend! I have resisted the urge to schedule in some sort of social event for this weekend so that I can concentrate on getting some much needed cleaning and organization done. Of course, there will be some cooking – I am going to make a lasagna that I made once before – it’s a […]
