I know I am not the only mom out there who walks into the laundry room and feels a pit of despair. My laundry room is like Octomom meets a common rabbit… I swear the laundry is reproducing itself. But… what if you had all those clothes and couldn’t wash them? Or what if your [...]

Photo credit: TLC Toddlers & TiarasI don’t have many programs that I tune into. If the TV gets turned on at all, it’s not until after Handy Man has come home from work. American Idol takes up 2 nights a week, and we try to catch Heroes on Mondays. But I have a closet weakness [...]
