Red Handed

Posted by Hallee on Feb 8, 2010 in Housekeeping, Parenting

The pictures didn’t come out. I’m irritated because you can’t see how bad this really was. These are little Jeb handprints – red handprints – more specifically, handprints made from hands smeared with red lipstick. I don’t want to really discuss the incident or the red handprints that went all the way up the stair banister, the stairwell wall, the upstairs hallway, the boys’ bedroom door…

Easy Christmas Wreath

Posted by Hallee on Dec 9, 2009 in Housekeeping, Stewardship

I priced Christmas wreaths sometime before Thanksgiving and was just appalled at what they’re getting for these things. I was at Garden Ridge, so I looked at a $49 wreath and made one as nearly identical to it as I could.

Taking Advantage of the Chaos – UPDATED

Posted by Hallee on Dec 7, 2009 in Biblical womanhood, Blog Stuff, Housekeeping

So, I’m going to play around with how I do things in my home, shift things around, bring homeschool down to three days a week, and see what I can do so that everything still gets done and I can still write as much as I need to and still give this blog all of the focus it needs.

The Fake House

Posted by Hallee on Dec 4, 2009 in Biblical womanhood, Housekeeping

There are people who clean their whole house every day, so that if company was coming, there would be little they would have to do to prepare. I’m not like that.

Keeping It All Together

Posted by Hallee on Nov 17, 2009 in Housekeeping, Life

Filling up the entire side of my fridge, is my life. I can stand back, with my back against the wall, and see the entire year laid out in front of me. I see upcoming birthdays, doctor appointments, days of my husband’s flight home (YAY!), days school gets out, days I need to bake bread for the church bazaar — whatever is coming up is right there.

Commissary Day

Posted by Hallee on Nov 5, 2009 in Hallee's Galley, Housekeeping

It’s over a two-hour drive to get to the commissary from our house, so I shop about every three months (other than my weekly grocery trip for dairy and produce). This trip will include what I need for all of my holiday baking, and should get me through the New Year.

Easily Amused

Posted by Hallee on Sep 29, 2009 in Housekeeping

The more I stared at all of those beautiful, shiny cleaning machines, the more I realized that buying our own steam cleaner would actually be much more cost effective that renting one about every other month.

Changing Seasons

Posted by Hallee on Sep 20, 2009 in Biblical womanhood, Housekeeping

I love the change in seasons. As summer ends and the mornings cool, the leaves change colors and school routines fall in place, my mind turns to — seasonal housekeeping!
