Resolution: Practice What You Preach
Whenever we would boss or criticize one another, my mom used to tell my siblings and I, “practice what you preach.” It’s always been good advice.

Happy Blogoversary!
Today is officially the second year blogoversary of Instead of the Dishes. It’s hard to imagine what I did with my free time before blogging, but I’m pretty sure it involved diapers and pureed vegetables.
