Before you start reading this, I want to tell you that I think you’re doing a good job! At what, you ask? Oh, it doesn’t really matter. You’re doing a good job at something. I know. I can tell. Because you’re beautiful, and I love you. You’re probably eating a cookie, or taking off your [...]
They say looks aren’t everything. They are obviously crazy. Give me sleek and smooth over junky and clunky. Dark and mysterious over gray and bumpy. Energy, sophistication and whispery smooth function over da-dhunk-dhunk-thunk….whrrr…. I’m talking about printers. Not men. Okay, maybe both.
Let’s face it: Even if your dad is Steve Jobs, you’re eventually going to get a call from your parents about how to operate something on their computer. I’ve been the IT person for Seth’s mom for over 5 years. As infuriating as it is to explain how to resize a picture for the 75th TIME, [...]
You know what? I really was wondering what else could I possibly print on using my Fancy Schmancy Printer (i.e. My Magical HP All-in-One 7500A), so I started using my crafty friend Ms. Google and she pointed me towards magnetic paper. Yes. Magnetic paper. I ordered some online (HP doesn’t sell it, boo) and within [...]
Knuppets are paper cut-out puppets with two holes at the bottom through which you put your fingers to substitute as the puppet’s legs. They are a perfect craft for those who are both impatient and suck at crafts, because they’re quick to make and hard to screw up.
Last week, I tried to instigate a cleaning product revolution. Oh, come on, what says Aiming Low more than wiping your counters off with the same stuff you use to make salad dressing? Or maybe smearing avocado dip on your face? Except maybe … waaaait… not.cleaning.AT.ALL. Well. That would have been a useful thought about [...]
When I was webnumbing (wherein I surf for a long time and read a lot of things on the Internet that have no meaning or purpose in my current life), I came across a little tip on creating a survival kit in an old Altoid tin. Can you stand it? I had no idea there [...]
If your kids are like mine, they’ll gleefully vandalize your “refrigerator gallery.” But it won’t matter if you have a printer that cranks out high-quality photo copies.
Roast chicken with veggies is one of our favorite family meals. It is delicious, comforting, and a classic. It’s even a great dish to serve at a dinner party. Any cook worth her weight needs to know how to roast a chicken. The good news is that even the laziest, most inexperienced cook can roast [...]
I don’t mind cleaning. People who say that have control issues. We say that we don’t mind cleaning when really we mean we LOVE to clean because it makes us feel like powerful agents of change. Dirt? YOUR TYRANNY WILL NO LONGER BE TOLERATED. Laundry? YOU ARE BANISHED INTO THE DRAWERS OF OBLIVION!! Soap scum? YOU [...]
I joined Weight Watchers a couple years ago, and found that if I just stuck to more reasonable portions and eliminated adjusted my fast food cooking habits, I could lose some weight and help my family make healthy choices. Win! I’m pretty cheap though, so I stuck with it for a couple of months and didn’t renew. Before I dropped it, I printed as many recipes as I could and threw them into a three ring binder. It’s served us pretty well, but I am ready to take it up a notch and create a family recipe book. Project EZPZ Recipe Book is ON!
IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU MAY OR MAY NOT LOSE YOUR MIND, PUT YO DANG HANDS UP. Dude. I feel you. I can sense your palms frantically waving back at me through the screen. I can see you ignoring that pile of laundry in the corner. I can smell the Maker’s Mark and American Spirits [...]
