I take a picture then add it as an attachment to Google Calendar when I enter it as an appointment. That way I can find it easily when I need to look for it instead of flipping through all the other pictures I take.
"Organize" school flyers by storing them as pictures on your phone
At Amazon: iPhone 5 Katie's smart strategy for handling the influx of school notices, permission slips, and flyers: With all the notes that come home from my children's school (both electronic and paper) I find keeping the email attachments or taking pictures of the fliers to keep on my iPhon...
Funny to see a lot of similar issues. Pretty much the same with me & my family. I'd add to that the massive amount of paper that comes home with my three kids from school every day. I really want to save every test with an A and post it on the fridge. But the fridge is only so big & I only have so many magnets. I hate to toss everything away once it's looked at, but it's so hard to decide what to keep & what to toss. What I've really been meaning to do is put a system in place to scan a lot of this stuff. Digital storage is cheap & takes up no room.
Review and giveaway: Gretchen Rubin's "Happier At Home"
At Amazon: Happier at Home by Gretchen Rubin I often wonder at the relative insulation of the blog world. The folks whose blogs I (and everyone else) read are rarely familiar to my neighborhood friends. Two notable exceptions: Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman), whose cookbook sends my neighb...
I wish this was around when I still had little ones in diapers. (Of course, being a stay-at-home dad I'm a little offended at the "mommy marketing" ;)

My Keurig coffee K-cups just shipped today. Although I've got so say, I'm a little irked that the price went up a few dollars and I wasn't notified of that fact. It's hard to find a deal on those things. Now I have to do the math and determine again if it's still a good deal.
Amazon Subscribe & Save: What do you order? Talk amongst yourselves.
In the homemade snack organizer hack, I mentioned that I order my go-to snacks through Amazon's Subscribe & Save program. (I use Subscribe & Save for fruit leather because my kids have it in their lunches or as a snack almost every day.) This program sets up a regular shipment at whatever freque...
Wow, not one response casting you as Gargamel finally catching those nasty Smurfs? I wish I had seen this sooner.

On Friday, I posted this picture, which I thought was just crying out for a caption: Holy crap, did you guys come through with replies. I think this post is the most-heavily commented post in the history of my blog, going back almost a decade. So, I said that I'd pick a winner, which was incre...
Well, I really wanted to listen already. Now I really, really want to listen.

Spoiler alert: If this interests you, you really want to listen to Radio Free Burrito Episode 28.
If this gets a decent widget I can replace my existing to-do list. I'd definitely pay for pro if the widget is well-designed.

Coca-Cola, you're formula is a secret no longer! Mwah hahaha
No title
My mom brought a whole roll of it over on the Fourth of July for the kids to have "safe fireworks." I thought that was pretty ingenious. When we were waiting out in the driveway for the local fireworks display to start they could make some pops of their own.
Never throw it away: bubble wrap
Polly reminds us about kids' never-ending fascination with bubble wrap: Keep kids busy and occupied with bubble wrap. Most kids can’t resist popping all those bubbles. It’s great to bring with you when traveling in the car or sitting in the doctor’s office and easy to carry in your purse or dia...
