The House That Cleans Itself

Howdy Gal Pals!

Since becoming a full time domestic engineer, I've decided it time to get serious about keeping a tidy house; something which has never been one of my strengths.  I recently read through this book I got for $2 from my local swap group.  It is called The House that Cleans Itself by Mindy Starns Clark.  In her book, Mindy offers up a lot of great suggestions for creating a organized and tidy home.  She goes into depth with regards to creating a floor plan of your entire house on paper and tracking disaster hot spots within your home; those areas which are particularly prone to clutter.  I didn't actually get around to drawing out a floor plan of my home, but I did take a few of her tips into consideration. 

Love: It's Not Just A Valentine's Day Thing!

Hello to all of my great gal pals!  Welcome Back!  Hope you all enjoyed the long holiday weekend.  I know I did.  Actually mine was great because my husband returned from an army conference he was attending in North Carolina and we caught up on our Valentine's Day celebration and even made a short road trip to a nearby historic town where we had lunch, did some wine tasting and window shopping.  It was fun and really nice to spend some quality time with my hubby.

Hi Gal Pals!

Been real busy since the New Year!  Seems like the month of January just got away from me!  Can't believe its already Valentine's Day. 

As you all I know, I'm big on holidays, almost a fanatic in some instances and since this is my daughter's first official Valentine's Day, I thought what better way to celebrate than to make some cute cards for her daddy & grandparents.  Being a one-year-old, there is only so much Hannah can do arts and crafts wise.  I came across this cute homemade hand print heart idea online a couple of weeks ago so we made them for some of the relatives.  They turned out real cute.  Here's a photo of the one she made for her daddy.
