If you want to find out if your bathroom scale is telling you the truth, test its accuracy by weighing a 5 or 10 pound bag of flour or sugar on it.

Another Monday with the addition of HGTV

After a productive day (gym, bank, grocery shopping and folding laundry), I set down to watch HGTV with my daughter and discuss what she believes is the sorry state  of the house to which I informed her she 8 and she informed me that she would like to have an adult conversation with Bernard, a friend and interior decorator—what are we in for when she is actually a teenager?!

It is finally spring out...

Today I got my first iced coffee of the warm weather seasons and took a walk in a local park, where I brainstormed, listened to good music, partook of some overdue sunshine and hopefully burned a few calories—a great way to start the weekend.

Another Tip.....

Tuesday's Tip: candlestick wax removal made easy

Just rub the inside of the candle stick with oil or a cooking spray and afterwards with a little prodding from a knife, the wax falls out (worked for me).

A mother/daughter day any mother would want

Today my daughter and I spent the day together (she is still on school break) cleaning, organizing, having lunch with daddy and when the museum was closed, walking around, buying a book and running errands, so I am grateful that my 8 year old has a go-with-the-flow attitude when needed.
