A Kitchen Re-Born

Posted on February 26, 2008. Filed under: Organizing, Taking Care of the Home |

That might sound a bit melodramatic. Who- Me??
And yet, my kitchen has been given a new lease on life, in the sense that the kitchen has gone from a room that I didn’t care for very much to a room that I actually enjoy.
Nothing against my kitchen specifically. It’s just that kitchens aren’t all that [...]

A New Apron From Giabella Designs

Posted on February 26, 2008. Filed under: Me Myself & I |

During the Bloggy Giveaways I won an apron from Giabella Designs. I was so excited because I’ve been wanting a pretty apron. Well, it arrived in the mail yesterday and I am NOT disappointed! I LOVE it!
 
I tied it a little high on the waist, to tie it up above the leftover baby fat and [...]

Tackling the Kitchen Curtains

Posted on February 19, 2008. Filed under: Tackle It Tuesday |

Yup. Still working on my kitchen.
No, I’m not tearing down walls or installing new appliances. (Oh-how-I-wish!) But you know those little capsules that you put in water and they expand and grow into little sponge animals? Yeah, my little organizational project grew into a BIG organizational project, something like the expanding sponge capsules. [...]

I’ve Ruined My Mascara

Posted on February 16, 2008. Filed under: Me Myself & I |

For whatever reason, I haven’t been reading Shannon’s posts while she has been in Uganda. Not because I didn’t want to, I just hadn’t taken the time yet what with all I’ve had going on.
But I have now, and let me say, if you haven’t, it’s worth it.
To get a glimpse, a teeny tiny glimpse [...]

I sang this song to my husband at our reception:

Big Daddy, I still love you very, very much. Ten wedded Valentine’s Days together. Happy Valentine’s Day, Sweetie!

WFMW – Storing Dry Beans

Posted on February 13, 2008. Filed under: WFMW |

I’m “spilling the beans “on one of my organizing techniques for my kitchen “Organizing Round-Up.” Literally.
One of the things I’m working on as I organize my kitchen is my pantry. As I peered into my dark and oh-so-small-and-overcrowded pantry, I assessed the various storage needs screaming for attention. One of which was [...]

Tackling My “Refrigerator Basket”

Posted on February 12, 2008. Filed under: Tackle It Tuesday |

This month I have been working on reorganizing my kitchen (as a part of Laura’s Organizing Round Up, but I intended to work on it at this point anyway.)
This week I tackled the project of making a basket for the top of my refrigerator. I had two open weave plastic baskets up there (like miniature [...]

Menu Plan Monday

Posted on February 10, 2008. Filed under: Menu Plan Monday |

 

Hello to another week! Trust me when I say, God is good. He provides in so many ways! This week, I’m continuing to work on our healthy goals and provide balanced meals.
A word about “healthy.” People mean different things when they say “healthy” food. My meals aren’t “tofu” and “bean sprout” healthy. [...]

Come Shoot The Breeze With Me

Posted on February 7, 2008. Filed under: Come Shoot The Breeze With Me |

I have a lot of cool stuff to share this week. Some of it I found this week, but a lot of it I’ve been collecting. This week we’ve been dealing with sickness and I haven’t had a large amount of computer time. But I’ve got a few minutes now so grab a cup of [...]

Bringing the Kids Together With Playdoh – WFMW

Posted on February 6, 2008. Filed under: Education, Family Fun, WFMW | Tags: , , , |

(You caught me! I forgot that today was a themed works for me wednesday, about our favorite online stores. Don’t worry, I made up for it…)
Some moms don’t like Playdoh. Some dread the gift of Playdoh and imagine all the carpet cleaning they’ll have to do after their toddler stomps little tiny pieces deep into [...]

Getting Fit #5

Posted on February 1, 2008. Filed under: Getting Fit |

Finally some progress!! I lost two pounds, and it’s very encouraging. It’s just what I needed to stick with this lifestyle change. After all, it’s hard to stick with something if it doesn’t appear to be doing any better than what you were doing before.
I thought I’d take a moment to ponder exactly why I [...]
