It’s been a crazy week at the end of a crazy summer. Thank goodness for the start of the new routine of preschool and our new nanny! I’m also taking the triplets to our first Kindermusik class tomorrow, which will really be a joy. sage is just over a month old and is already poised for a makeover. Good times ahead. Thanks for joining me!

Mom Advice is in my head today, apparently, posting how-tos on cleaning out the fridge, organizing the laundry room, and organizing your pantry. I missed spring cleaning this year, what with having newborns to deal with, but I’m ready to make some progress around here before the weather turns on us.

Speaking of, more in the “Christmas is coming!” vein, this time from Mommy Making Money. We do Hanukkah around here, but same idea.

The Crafty Crow links to a how-to on printmaking with the smaller set using styrofoam. What a great use for that ubiquitous material. Assuming I can find some we haven’t already recycled, I’m going to try this tomorrow.

Last but not least, my frienemy ohdeeoh talks repurosing crib bumpers. As I watch set after bedding set like ours idle without a bid on eBay, it makes turning all of our bumpers into something seem like an increasingly attractive idea.
