Monday Giveaway Linky – End of a Grueling Week Edition
Howdy Heroes! I haven't been as good with posting as I would like, and part of that is related to the week we just had. Oy. It was not pleasant. Basically, high school graduation was Friday night for the older boys. Only one of them wasn't allowed to walk because he...
Monday Giveaway Linky – Getting Through to Them Edition
After years of repeating myself....a lot...I think I've made progress lately. We tore out a bathroom because it was starting to get moldy (boys take showers that are TOO long!) so now the boys have invaded the parental space as it were. Translation: 3 times in as many...
Happy Mother’s Day 2016!

Monday Giveaway Linky – Oh, The Aching Muscles Edition
I don't know if I mentioned here last week that we're renovating a bathroom here at Earnest Parenting. And by "renovating" I mean: removing all fixtures, every scrap of drywall and flooring, and starting from scratch. The demo part of the job started out like...
Monday Giveaway Linky – Oh the Mess Edition
Heroes, I suppose you have been through a renovation before in your home. We've done a few projects over the years but most of them were new things...not actual renovation. This weekend, we started a new project. An actual renovation. We are tearing out one of the...

I Got the Papers Done!
I did it! I conquered the mountain of paper waiting for me by my desk! It's awesome. Of course, now I have to pay some bills and do other work. But at least the giant pile of junk mail isn't sitting there staring at me. Making me feel guilty. Now it's just a small...
Monday Giveaway Linky – I Hate Paper Edition
Soooooo, I think I missed 2 weeks of the linky. In a row. I'm so sorry! I've been just drowning in work lately, especially paperwork. I hate paper. It's such a lot of work to manage. And I will admit, I've really let things stack up lately. So now I have a pile that...
Monday Giveaway Linky – Can’t Remember Last Week Edition
Good Monday, Heroes! Last week I missed the linky and to be honest I cannot remember the reason anymore. Is that bad? I'm a little concerned that's bad. Anyhow, I made it in (sort of) this week, so here is the linky. Enjoy! I am trying to get things done earlier and...
