Confession Time: I’ve wanted a generously large goose down comforter for years, but have failed to fulfill that wonderfully fluffy dream because I’m scared of duvet covers. Yep, scared. They are totally bewildering to me. I’ve looked at them with no understanding. Yes, I see you’re a cover that protects my goose downy investment. Yes, …

OMT! loves yardwork. No really, I’m not joshing. I love to get my hands dirty and wack at things, plant things, build things and use chipping hammers to dig out things (like an old concrete foundation). (what follows is not a very attractive OMT!, but a happy one!) Hell, yeah! I own a giant wagon …
Got a dog that likes tagging along for car rides? Heck, got messy kiddos who snack, track dirt from sports, or snack some more, leaving stains behind on the seats? Have I got a solution for you, that is if you’re like me and are always looking for ways to clean less, live more! ~ …
Y’all know how much I love a Klutz book, right? See HERE and HERE if you’ve forgotten. Klutz was our go-to publisher of fun-time kids books in the summer or whenever we needed something fun to do. When I find a book with a title and tagline this great, I gotta buy it: Kids Shenanigans: …

Need something creative to do with the kiddos indoors on a rainy day? Need something fun to do with the kiddos outdoors in the sunshine and fresh air, after you’re done gardening with them? Need something that will entertain you (as you watch the shenanginas) as much as your younger charges? ~ A gentle reminder: …
I originally posted this last Easter, but it’s been such a hit that I thought I’d do a rerun…just like them TV folks! Need more bunny in your life? Yes, please… ~ A gentle reminder: OMT! uses Amazon referral links. When you do your shopping through the Amazon links on this page, you support the …
Remember this DIY garden post? Are your kids clamoring to be outside and get dirty? They are?! Well, put them to work in their very own garden. Outside + gardening + kids = the best kind of memories with some SCIENCE! thrown in. ~ A gentle reminder: OMT! uses Amazon referral links. When you do …
My heart thrilled a little when I wrote that headline. A good wine fridge is a delight to own. One of my absolute favorite Christmas gifts of late has been my stand alone wine cooler. My first wine fridge was a Danby. Loved it until the compressor went out. I researched having it repaired and …
