Do You Have an Extra Room in Your Home?

Clovis Furniture Store - Back to School

That time is upon us and some parents may be giddy with joy and others (who may have never sent a child to school) may be apprehensive. For me, it is a bittersweet time. I am lucky enough that my line of work allows me to work from home and spend the summer with my two girls. The bitter part is that we can be around each other and do fun things all summer long and suddenly that stops as they are off to another year of school. The sweet part is that I am no longer having to mediate fights, pick up trash and clutter, and listen to kids cartoons while I try to work. Seriously, have you watched any of the shows they call kids' programming these days?!? Something about a princess this and a ladybug that... mind-numbing. All-in-all it has its ups and downs working from home. 

The Spare Room

In our house, we have a spare room that is slowly becoming a storage room. Technically, it is dubbed a craft room, however, it is being overtaken by what I would consider clutter and junk. Anything from old clothes and toys to old costumes and flat out brick-a-brack gets tossed in there. I used to go in unannounced and start bagging things up to donate or throw away each school year. After a few choice meltdowns over tossed sentimental items, I give them a warning that I will be going in and culling the mess. During the school year, the spare room looks more like a craft room and less like a medieval midden heap. Eventually, I want to turn it into an aquarium room. But that is a dream for a few years from now.

Those Litle Devils!

I Only Looked Away for a Split Second As parents, we do our best to look out for our children and keep them safe. The same can be said about most pet owners, as well. Sometimes, we may cross the line and spoil them a little bit... or, maybe a lot. The interesting thing about raising children and taking care of pets is that there is a dichotomy in the relationship. As mentioned before, we want to keep them safe. On the other hand, we do our best to keep our things safe from them! Pets can make a real mess of things in a very short timeframe. From chewing shoes to chewing sofa cushions, dogs have the capability to do some damage. Cats and their claws seem to think that the couch or recliner is their personal scratching post. While some people's pets behave or are docile, some can be real terrors. You may love your dog or cat, but let's face it, sometimes they can be jerks. My cat seems to think that 3 a.m. is the perfect time to tear across the entire house and across almost all...

Spring Has Sprung - More Time Outdoors

Image
Longer Days and Warmer Weather This winter has had its ups and downs. Just when you think it was over, here came another week or more of cold weather. I guess winter just wasn't ready to loosen its icy grip just because an underground dwelling rodent said it was time. While the groundhog was a little off with his prognosticating this year, spring seems to have finally come. All in all, I bet a lot of people are happy about this change of season.  Not to be a stick in the mud, but spring coming is always a mixed bag for me. I do enjoy the milder weather, but I seriously could do without all the allergies. I am sure the over-the-counter allergy medicine companies are happy for my patronage, I feel like I have to make a personal budget just for nasal sprays and pills. I look at other people who aren't allergic to grass and wonder what it feels like to be able to mow your own yard without wearing a respirator.  Outdoor Furniture Some days can be worse than other...
