Today was a day off. A day when we'd planned to be out of town but events at church yesterday kept us home instead. Things are a little rough around here house-wise. I'm still behind on laundry after the loosey-goosey Christmas break which was immediately followed by a broken washing machine. But a day out of the routine makes my mind start … [Read more...]
Menu Plan . . . Yes. That’s What I Meant to Do.
Have I mentioned that I'm writing an e-book? Because I am. The much requested Deslobification Manual is coming out at the end of January. Not that I'm going to call it a Deslobification Manual, but that's the basic idea behind it. Anyway, now that January is half over, it's becoming one of those tunnel-vision projects that I love so much but … [Read more...]
Things I’ve Written Around the Web
Enjoy your weekend! It's a long one for us, which is my favorite kind! Here are some links to things I've written around the internet lately: Over at AllYou.com I talked about the new outfit I bought to wear to all of my no-overlapping-guests Christmas and New Year's parties. At About One, I shared about one of my family's favorite … [Read more...]
How to Declutter – Should I Sell This on Ebay?
Honestly, I have many fond feelings toward eBay. There was a double-house-payment period in our lives when we had NO extra money. I managed to make 40$ per week during that year, and we used the money to go out to eat on the weekends. In a difficult time . . . that 40$ was huge. Honestly, I have many fond feelings toward eBay. There was … [Read more...]
Bathroom Project Link-Up
Did you make some changes in your own bathroom this week? I'm enjoying my newly organized-for-the-real-us bathroom. One of the things I didn't mention in Tuesday's post was that I cleared out a cabinet shelf to store towels. Yes . . . we automatically know to look in the linen closet in other end of the house. But we don't necessarily … [Read more...]
How to Not Have to Check Gift Card Balances
Don't just look at the picture. Read the whole post. Because I've gotten even smarter since I came up with this really smart idea. Gift cards have come a long way in the past ten years. First, they changed to cards instead of certificates, and now you can even give a credit-card-based giftcard that will allow the recipient to use it … [Read more...]
Organizing the Bathroom According to How We Live
As I keep going in my deslobification process, I'm more and more determined to organize our home for the way we actually live. Not for how people in magazines live, but how we live. Not even for the way I wish we lived . . . but for how we actually do live. Today, I worked on the cabinets in my master bathroom. Hubby and I have separate … [Read more...]
Big Spender
I had one hundred dollars to spend. Do you know how much stuff this deal-lovin' mama can get for one hundred dollars? After Christmas, I had a one hundred dollar department store gift card burning a hole in my purse. My mind started to buzz with ideas of what I could do with that money. In the past, I've been known to hit the sales with a … [Read more...]
Homemade Spaghetti Sauce Recipe
I'm determined to use up (and discover!) what's in my freezer and pantry this month. So when the store I went to didn't have any deals on spaghetti sauce, I decided to make a batch of my favorite homemade sauce using the canned tomatoes I had in the pantry. And then wondered why I hadn't done that in a very long time. This recipe is based on … [Read more...]
