I have heard raves about her methods for keeping you on track with keeping up with your house. (My own method is just not to keep too much STUFF around and not to leave small jobs like dishes undone because it is always harder to get them done later)<br /><br />As for your blog title how about True and Harrowing Tales of a Lady Homesteader - pretty accurate!!Jenyfer Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769550148821002722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-60925060997511062482012-01-02T09:43:17.452-06:002012-01-02T09:43:17.452-06:00Mom, I think my thinking (?!) in trying out 'T...Mom, I think my thinking (?!) in trying out 'Tall Tales . . . " is because few people would BELIEVE that all these things can happen. Of course, we homesteaders, DIYers know different! ;)<br /><br />Becky, maybe I can be an inspiration for "what NOT to do"! Ha! But, thank you. :)<br /><br />Erin, YES, I, too hope "we can really get ahold of things this year"!!! Amen to THAT! And $4 for a dry erase board?! Those things are EXPENSIVE!!<br /><br />Judy, ha! I'm not sure Mama & Papa Pea would agree with you that I listen to their age & wisdom so well! ;) And I'm still CM, definitely . . . just not in the TITLE of the blog. :)<br /><br />Stephanie, that's it EXACTLY: "If I took just a few minutes each day, it wouldn't look so bad." Words to live by!<br /><br />Carolyn Renee, don't you know you should NEVER make resolutions that involve eating / the size of your pants BEFORE the holidays???? Silly girl. ;)<br /><br />Susan the Great, THANKS! xoChicken Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704834273210183660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-64453266685929057072012-01-02T05:49:30.397-06:002012-01-02T05:49:30.397-06:00I wait until everyone lists their new year's r...I wait until everyone lists their new year's resolutions, then I steal them.

Ugh. Oh, and I usually only clean when my Mom or company are coming over. I'll think about adding that to my "to resolution" list. Ha.<br /><br />BTW, I like "The Incredibly Insane Tales..." title also.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-3416680592033905572012-01-01T18:11:03.839-06:002012-01-01T18:11:03.839-06:00Happy New Year:) I too am guilty of letting the h...Happy New Year:) I too am guilty of letting the house go, sometimes for days, leaving all the cleaning until the weekend, or when company comes over. And I hate the rush of trying to get it cleaned on a time limit.

I agree with Mama Pea, you don't have any need to create tall tales when the real ones are so awesome :) How 'bout Trying Tales, or Truthful Tales, LOL?!

You, my dear, do not have any need to embellish in any way on the tales you relate. They are all true and honest (sometimes testing your mother's frayed nerves!) to the core. So I don't think you want anyone to question if you are telling tall tales! :o]Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
