Monday, Monday. Here you are already after another great weekend. Poor Monday gets a bad rap, I mean really, who wants to follow up the weekend? It’s like having the best dessert ever, perhaps something like this Source: fatgirltrappedinaskinnybody.blogspot.com via Ange@thebloominghydrangea on Pinterest and then the next course is Brussel Sprouts. Those brussel sprouts might
Master Bedroom Update and other Thurdsay Randomness
Well it seems I might have a new contributor to my blog. Everyone thought my hubby was just the funniest guy in his first post, if only you people lived with him and his “humor” everyday, you might not find him so funny. Ok, really he can be funny and we do love to laugh
Guest Post: The Blooming Hubs Rants about "The Wood"

OK, it’s high-time that I took over Ange’s job of blogging for once. Yup, that’s right, the Blooming Hubs is doing a not-so-hostile takeover of a Blooming Hydrangea post.

Thrift Store Score!

Going to the Dogs
Heidi is our miniature schnauzer and she is a funny little dog. She is the door greater at our home and loves to jump in laps of our guests to make them feel welcome. She also sings for us and I even have a little song that I sing to her (Heidi Heidi Hoe) and
Room & Furniture Swapping, do you do it?
Well I think the title of this blog sums it up fairly well. Why is it when I have things I need to do, I instead find other things to do? Like rearranging rooms, moving dressers from the basement to the main floor to the garage to the dining room and family room to the
If you spend all your money, chances are……
Your furnace will quit working on the coldest day of the year. Last week my husband had lasik eye surgery and we paid the $3100 out of pocket for the surgery. The money will be reimbursed through our med flex account but that won’t be for about a month. While waiting for the furnace guy
Birthday Party Apron Making Fun and a Giveaway
You may not know this but I do not like having birthday parties at our home. I much prefer to have the kids involved with something like swimming, bowling, skating or ceramics so there is not time for drama. My oldest daughter’s third grade birthday party scarred me for life and I swore off home
