It’s important to know that this is not a sponsored post. I have used  Bac-Out for years to clean the bathroom, and get the odors out of mattresses — and, after so many people asking me about bathroom odors, I just wanted to share how much I love this product. However, after researching enzyme cleaners for [...]

Party Prep

party2002

Even though the party doesn’t start until 7:30, I like to have everything done before the kids walk into the door from school. Because, after that, I could loose my cool. Cucumbers, onions and tomatoes are already cut, covered and on the porch (it’s cool there) and waiting to be turned into Greek Nachos. (Don’t [...]

‘Tis the season, right? So, that’s how we  ended up hosting a Christmas party this Friday night. Decided on Tuesday… this Friday. Crazy and twisted. But, tis the season.

This is part II of the reorganization. It’s a  process. I wanted to stop and share this clever way I came up with to store sugar, baking soda, and all of those powder things you need to have quick access to around the kitchen. Rather than a sugar bowl, why not have a sugar “jar.” [...]

sweetdreams001

The new curtain over the off-centered window looks awesome…. but it still needed something else. So, while I was busy adding pom-pom fringe, I set my son to lay out the stencils on a board we had sitting in the garage. He painted the words, and when it was dry, that artistic instinct in him [...]

Who Doesn’t Like Their Coffee Clean?

It could be considered a bad sign when your heart starts to race the minute you drive into the parking lot at Rural King.
