I haven’t done a Tackle it Tuesday post in a while, but it’s not for lack of work! There has been so much going on with the move, that I think I have material to last me through the end of the year. A while ago I posted about cleaning out my closet and lil man’s and donating to charity. Well, now let’s get to the actual move. The first step was to get...
Now that it’s imminent that we’re going to move (that’s a story for another day), I have no choice but to start packing everything. I decided to start with the easiest task: getting rid of old clothes. Since lil man was born, I have been storing his old clothes in bags in the closet, in the hopes that someday I will use them for baby #2. Seeing as that hasn’t happened (and will not...
Wow, I can’t believe it has been 2 months since my last Tackle it Tuesday. And to think, this was one of my New Years Resolutions, meh! Well, at least I didn’t forget it altogether. I was simply on hiatus. Ya, that’s what I’m telling myself, so shush! I actually did this one about a month and a half ago, but I hadn’t gotten around to posting it, so here goes. Lil man’s room...
Lil man is 4 years old and in Pre-K in school. I still can’t believe they have daily homework at this age, but they’re not so bad. It’s mostly counting, classifying, coloring, tracing, cutting, pasting, etc. But this homework struck me. In a good way. When I read the instructions, I said: “Oh my God, this is a freaking science project!” It was actually pretty cool, and lil man and I had a blast...
I had done this tackle a while ago, but didn’t want to post it until I got the pics out of my camera. I should create a TT post just to clean up my camera! Anyway, every year it takes us a looong time to store all of our Christmas decorations, because the Puertorrican holiday season doesn’t end until mid-January. Even then, we usually end up getting everything done between the last week of...
This week I tackled lil man’s study area. Yes, his desk is pretty clear, but that’s because he does his homework there. But the ottoman is a different story. Every time lil man leaves something on top of this desk, I move it to the ottoman to make room for him to work, and guess what? It piles up pretty quickly! Yesterday, lil man was having his speech therapy here, so I decided to...
I wasn’t going to post any Tackle it Tuesdays this week because I thought “well, I really haven’t tackled anything worth posting. *sadface* But then I realized, heck, I’ve been PLENTY busy at the bakery! THAT’s why I haven’t been able to do stuff around the house. So I might as well post what the EFF I’ve been doing all week! So here goes. The week started with a cake for a friend’s birthday....
For those of you who don’t know, I have a home-based bakery business. I work full time in Corporate America and have a 4-year-old son, so I only do this on my spare time, which is not much, but it does keep me happy. I have a Facebook page, but I wanted to start my own blog (in Spanish), so that my local clients can get to know me and my products better. I...
Last night I decided to do lil man’s laundry, because it had been a couple of weeks since I had done it. Yes, you can judge all you want, but lil man has tons of clothes, so I can afford to do his laundry every couple of weeks. Anyway, as I was emptying out his hamper in the washer, the last of the clothes dropped unexpectedly with a loud “thump”. I thought, clothes don’t...
Last week was lil man’s 4th birthday, and we had not one but TWO parties for him. First one was last Thursday at school, where we sang Happy Birthday with his classmates, and the second one was on Sunday at home with the entire family. I had several tackles related to this mega birthday weekend: Create TWO birthday cakes (or in this case, cupcake displays) using lil man’s selected theme: Hot Wheels. Assemble the goodie...
