What’s lurking under your sink?

 {image credit}    I been using some all natural Shaklee cleaning products for maybe a year or so now, but recently made the big leap to order lots more for most of our house cleaning needs.    I don’t know if this is true {as I know the skeptic haters out there will scoff that…

Before & After… A Metamorphosis!

The Second Edition of the Happy Birthday House Celebration is the Kids’ Room.  It has undergone quite the metamorphosis. We did some redesigning during the original renovation which took away the small 3 foot closet on the right side of the room {Chris knocked out the wall separating our itty bitty closet and the kids’…

Clothespin Crockpot update…

I know you were sitting on the edge of your seat waiting to hear the results of my clothespin experiment, so I thought I would fill you in! It was easy peasy! I took it out of the ziploc bag and stuck in right in the crockpot… Then I just removed the clothespin and spread…

Before & After… Curb Shopping!

All the kiddos’ clothes are housed in a huge Ikea Wardrobe.  It has tons of space, but the roomy, deeeep shelves are perfect for mass confusion.  Especially for Haylee to keep neat herself.  As much as she tries, and as much as I try to keep on top of, inevitably Haylee’s shelves turn into a…

Do you have a Family Notebook?

Amid my Organizing Frenzy in January, see here, here, here, here, here, here, and here, I got the inspiration combined with the urge to create a Family Notebook to try to keep all things organized! There are tons of free {and not so free} printables out there to get you started if you’re so inclined,…

Happy Birthday House… the kitchen!

Just to give you some background on our cozy house, we bought it from Chris’s Grandfather {aka PawPaw in these here parts, lol}.  It was built in the 50’s I think, and Chris’s Great-Grandmother as well as his Aunt have also lived here at various points. We originally didn’t plan to do the complete overhaul…

Learning to Love where you Live

I recently found this quote on another blog, and I’m digging it.   “Love where you live…” I’m learning much lately on contentment. Isn’t life so much happier when one is simply content with what one has and the place one is in life? It’s so easy, however, to take a look at what situation others…

Room Switcheroo

We are constantly brainstorming, or so it seems, to ensure we are using our space to its maximum capacity. This has been the set up in the kids’ room for a year or more, I think.  We found this loft bed at Ikea that was tall enough for the crib to fit right underneath! Ingenious,…

Menu Monday

I’m gonna try to post my menu on Mondays in the hopes that doing so will somehow drum up some motivation and perhaps some accountability to keep it up.   We’ll see. The plan this week… Monday… Turkey Bacon Cheddar Croissants Tuesday… Slow Cooked Asian Pork Chops Wednesday… Broccoli Chicken Casserole Thursday… Mini Meatloaf Friday……

M.S.E…. Day Three & Four

I am loving this “carefree” week of no dinner responsibilities!  I don’t know if it’s something I’ll keep up with doing every week…. just cause Sundays are crazy, and I am often trying to get other important things done in the afternoon like grocery shopping and lesson plans. I definitely can say that the time…
