Here are the facts: *In January Elizabeth and I attended ALT. *One of the sponsors at ALT was Shark vacuums...and I got obsessed with their Rocket vacuum and steamer. (To the point that I was vacuuming the floors, rugs, couches, my pants, whatever all over the hotel instead of going to class with Elizabeth...and then was so loud with all my vacuuming they had to shut the doors to the classrooms to keep all my noise out. True Story.) *Then one of the Shark ladies told me that I could enter a ... View the Post
It Wasn’t What I Planned to Post…
I had another post planned for today...but decided that it could wait. (And maybe some of you have already seen it anyways...I accidentally posted it one day last week during the middle of the day for like an hour. Brilliant.) Anyway...I just wanted to say thank you. That's all. Just thank you. Thank you for stopping by. For reading our posts. For leaving comments. For sending emails. For everything. I was planning out my posts for the next few months and I realized how much I really ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: Devotion and Duty over Moods
It's been awhile since we've had a daily dose of Daryl here on Tuesday and I've been missing her. So from 1967....here are some words of wisdom from Mrs. Hoole: I love that....homemaking IS a great career. And I love even more the idea of becoming "a professional" in the field. But the whole"...letting her devotion and sense of duty, rather than her moods dominate her...." well, that is a greeted with a little less enthusiasm from me. That's a tall order! Some days I'm just plain grumpy ... View the Post
Off the Blog: What’s Going on Behind the Scenes in February
Today we are sharing a few things that are going on behind the scenes this month here at Simple Simon and Company: #1. Setting Up A Craft Room: I've been working on changing my preschool room into a craft room...it's been a long coming...over a year in fact. But because I posted about it here: "Just over a year ago I shut the door...." (and because it makes me cry) I won't retell the story. But I will say. #1. Thank you for all the sweet comments....I mean to respond to them, when I'm ... View the Post
Shot Through The Heart: My Valentine’s T-Shirt
Why yes, yes I did totally make myself this t-shirt to wear today. Well....actually it wasn't all me...it was a collaborative effort...with myself, Elizabeth, and some guy named Cameron who has a magic beard and embossed business cards. Here's the story: Elizabeth and I were invited to a party to a Cricut Explore party. (Which was lovely...they had all my favorite treats...soda, Hi-Chews, popcorn, candy, more soda....) But instead of circulating and hanging out like most normal people do at ... View the Post
Fashionably Late as Usual….
Like as to many other things (such as ...Facebook...Instagram...and Google +) we are arriving to another party fashionably late...this one is called Pinterest. We know, we know, we know...it's like the worlds biggest online party and we've chosen to stay home in our pajamas and read a good book. Not that there is anything wrong with that...I love staying home with a good book...but a month ago we took peek into the party and were hooked. So for the past month Elizabeth and I have been ...
