Labeling Food Containers

By 41 Comments

I'm trying to re-use food containers. As a person who has "issues" with containers, this was a big step for me. Recently, I overheard someone mention that she uses a label-maker to label all her containers of leftovers. For some reason, this makes me giggle.  I know it's a good idea, but it's one of those things I know I'd never do in a … [Read more...]

A Day in the Life – 2013

By 8 Comments

I canNOT believe tomorrow is February. In February of 2012, I had fun participating in Simply Rebekah's "Day in the Life" link-up.  (Here's my post from last year.) Last night, at exactly 6:45, it hit me that if I was going to take 24 hours worth of pictures AND get the post written in time to link it up again this year, I needed to get … [Read more...]

How to Keep Up with Emailed Coupons

By 7 Comments

I love my iPhone. I knew I would, I just didn't know how much.  It hasn't solved all my problems, but it sure does help with a lot of things! One of the things I love is that I don't have to print out (and then lose or forget) emailed coupons.  (Just to be clear, I'm not talking about printable grocery coupons.  I haven't used those in … [Read more...]

That broken Christmas ornament perplexes me. I'm going to be honest.  It's sitting in a Donate Box in my garage.  If I can't remember where it came from by the time that Donate Box leaves the house, it will be gone forever. Here's the thing.  Hubby and I have a tradition of buying Christmas ornaments on vacations.  Ornaments that represent … [Read more...]

So So Tempting . . . (And a Family Kitchen Clean Up Report)

By 13 Comments

We've been doing our Family Kitchen Clean-Up Time for three whole weeks now. We get off track on the weekends, but during the week we're pretty much rockin' it. And . . . it's fun. I know. So strange. But really, one of my biggest excuses/reasons for not cleaning up the kitchen in the evening is that I hate missing family time. This … [Read more...]

Giveaway!! – Fish Foam Window Cleaner

By

Random Observation #1: It makes me giggle that as a Known-to-the-World Slob (seriously, I know I have readers in Germany, Egypt, Serbia, Lithuania and more), companies ask me to test out their cleaning products.  It's great motivation to clean! Random Observation #2: Taking pictures of dirty windows is hard.  You know how a window can look … [Read more...]

How to Declutter Birthday Cards

By 83 Comments

Step One: Read the card one last time while thinking nice thoughts about the person who wrote it. Step Two: Throw it in the trash can.  If the person who wrote it will be coming over soon, place another piece of trash over it so they don't see that you threw away their card.  (School papers work well for this.) Now, lest you think I'm … [Read more...]
