Sticker Chart (with Template)
https://www.paper-tiger.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/stchar-190x103.jpg
(Note: I added the image to illustrate the difference between the old and new methods. Also, to point out that I did not scrapbook-ify, bedazzle or otherwise Pinterest-icate the charts. They’re functional, not obsessive.) About the time that AJ started …
What Normal Looks Like
I try not to cross-link other people’s posts very much, but every once in awhile I discover one that I think deserves some recognition. This is an article that makes me feel better about the laundry mountain in my dining …

Procrastination Entry #4275
I have literally fifteen loads of laundry waiting around to be completed, either sitting in a pile waiting to be washed, or sitting in a pile waiting to be folded. And by literally, I mean the real definition of the …

Train Table Sleuthing: In Progress
Apparently, playing with model trains is a cold weather pastime. The cold came swooping in at exactly the same time as our layout from heaven appeared, and has inspired in me (and Olin) a renewed interest in the model trains …
Train Table from Heaven
https://www.paper-tiger.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_1598-190x141.jpg
I still can’t even believe that this happened. I went to The Depot (amazing not-for-profit secondhand store/perpetual garage sale in Decorah) to donate a huge van-load of stuff that I have been collecting for awhile and didn’t want to have …
Sci-Fi Best List (with Bonus Silliness)
https://www.paper-tiger.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/windowseat-190x142.jpg
There’s nothing like a good science fiction book or movie to bring out the shamefully-uneducated, mostly irrelevant armchair scientist in me. Read a good one, or (less likely) watch a good one, and I can rave for hours about the …
