Getting My Food Prep and Vacuum Sealing On
Look, folks, I’m not even going to pretend that I do right. I stink when it comes to food planning, food prepping and food saving. HORRIBLE! Spell it with me… H O R R I B L E. It’s ok though, I’m going to do better. Who else is with me in this struggle? Don’t sit there and lie. It’s ok. We can’t see you. Just go ahead and admit that we’re running a close race. But yo, let’s get our life together. Cause look, the kids will be home on summer break soon, and these jokers want to eat all darn day. Knowing good and well, they eat once…

The Fifteen Minute Zone Cleaning For After School Chores
Kids are back in school. You seem to be busier now, than during summer break. That whole plan of getting the house back in order, declutter, tossing the random mess you have either didn’t get started or came to a halt. Instead of tackling these projects you find yourself running around doing errands all day or picking up behind the kiddos who left a mess as they made the mad dash out the door to get to school on time. Well, let’s chat. Let’s chat about how your kids can continue to help around the house even during the school year. That’s right, after-school chores for the kids.

Do You Like It Hot?
DadJonz and I have coffee together every morning. Don’t laugh, but we like to pretend we are a couple on the Soap Opera “The Young and The Restless” (minus the drama) hanging out and being all romantic before our day starts. The only difference is our kids make their voices loud and clear as they yell at one another from their bedrooms or yelling at one another for taking the last waffle. DadJonz is always talking about how he wants his creamer or milk warm. “Dude, the coffee will warm it!” The other day he said, “Dear, I want to buy something to warm my creamer before adding it to my…

Get That Shower Sparkling
I wanna try something new. Let’s just call it MomJonz short and sweet blog posts. The purpose of this is to answer any question from readers, friends or random things I see posted on social media. The burning questions people want to ask. I promise, there’s no such thing as a crazy question, so ask me anything! So, let’s start with this question. What do I use to clean my shower? We all need a shower cleaner that works on that dirt and grime.

Bring Back Your Kitchen’s Shine
You know those pictures of bright, shining, new kitchens in magazines? Everything is neatly stowed, the sink is utterly free of hard water spots, and the refrigerator is sparkling clean. Well, it’s hard to have a kitchen look that way for more than a couple minutes. In fact, I think the last time my kitchen looked like that was… before I moved in. Instead, I have a permanent pile of junk mail clutter on the counter, dishes stacked in (or by) the sink, and a refrigerator whose “stainless” steel exterior is always covered in grimy handprints. You may not have a spic-and-span kitchen all the time, but when you have…

Tackle Your To-Do List With Accountability
“Tomorrow is a new day. I can start fresh!” That’s what we tell ourselves each night as we finally rest our head on the pillow. As that alarm goes off the following morning, our minds are immediately filled with all the things we did not accomplish the previous day, our worries, our struggles or our failures. So, why do we say we will start each day with a fresh set of eyes? Why not just set a way to tackle your to-do list little by little each day? I think MOST people have great intentions, but we fall short simply because we try to cram too much into our day.…

My Husband And His Breakfast Bars
This is wrong of me in so many ways, but I have to share. DadJonz wakes up at the crack of dawn Monday thru Friday to workout. After he finishes his workout, he heads to the kitchen to start our coffee (I’m not allowed to make coffee because it’s too weak, WHATEVER!) and to tell the girls to have a good day at school.
