Hey! From Jaye.

By
My name is Jaye Garcia-Glennie.

I have a very helpful husband; two cheeky, youngish sons; a rather sharp tongue that I try only to use for good*; and a passionate penchant for Getting Sh*t Done (GSD, the less carnivalesque cousin of LSD.)

I'm a sparky Software Engineer by day and a lazy blob by night, but in between and on weekends, I do a lot of pottering and refining of personal processes, which I refer to as productivity pornography, but not in front of my grandmother.

Sometimes this process refinement presents as physical organization projects, sometimes as collaborative spreadsheets and documents, sometimes as very inventive cursing and violence against inanimate objects that are not in a logical place.

I said I was organized, I didn't say I was calm.

Please join me on my journey to impose structure in the chaos of the suburbs.

* I don't always succeed.

Bulk Meal Prep Chicken Tongs I told a close friend that I was going to write a post about freezer meals.  Since she's been involved in a couple of my bulk meal preps, I asked her, "What do you think would be useful to share?" She replied, "Things you think are obvious.  Like chicken tongs." So there you go.  They're called "pom tongs" and we own a metric ton of them because we give a shedload of dinner parties (at least DH thinks we do, but he's excessively introverted, so one party a decade is ONE TOO MANY, JAYE,  CAN A MAN NOT JUST SIT IN PEACE ON A SATURDAY NIGHT?! ) I bought my "chicken tongs" in bulk from a restaurant supply store in Austin over a decade ago - along with massive mixing bowls, giant baking sheets, and 2 x 24 cupcake tins because what kind of psychopath makes 12 cupcakes at a time?  What kind of restraint do they have?! - but here are some on Amazon . Supper in the Suburbs A lot of my drive for o...

Secondhand Shoes

By
A Back-to-School Story in Six Acts Epilogue: the reason that every shoe gets a size label is so that I can throw these in a larger box if I need the boot boxes .  Also the next two sizes-in-waiting don't go in a boot box, they go into a hanging shoe organizer .

Tennis Camp

By
If you know me at all, you know that I am an ardent fan of Sharon Penman, breakfast tacos, and LISTS. If I can splot something out on a spreadsheet and get it out of my busy brain, everyone wins, especially the part of my mind that really needs more space for catchy music to which I don't always know all the lyrics, but I still can't get out of my head. I make lists for my kids all the time. Then, if they forget something, there's no way they can blame me. Was it on the list? Yes. Was it your responsibility? Yes, but. BUT NOTHING BABY SHARK do-do-do-dooo-do BABY SHARK. If the list were for longer than just one or two weeks, I would add checkboxes on the left and laminate it so that the kids could mark off the entries with dry erase markers every day. This is what I do for their morning chore charts. But tennis camp is just one week and most of the stuff is fairly logical, so naked paper it is. 10yo and I sat down and made a list of the things he would need e...
