This might seem like a silly tip, but it will save you time and money. Most people have to walk to the curb to get their mail. On they way back to the house stop at the trashcan or recycle bin and go through your mail. Instead of bringing junk mail and magazines into your home, you can dispose of them immediately. This saves time because you aren't moving piles of stuff around your house for ...
Baby Steps to Clean the Bedroom
I started on my bedroom today. Before I began it was difficult to walk around, but now I can actually enjoy my room. My friend and I painted the walls sage green last week. I love the color, it is so relaxing. I still need to find a new comforter for my bed, I think the red and green look a little too much like Christmas. Before photos: After photos: I am excited that I ...
Conquer the Clutter
I am so excited about the Conquer the Clutter challenge being hosted at my other blog this month. When we moved (and displaced all of our stuff) much of the junk rose to the surface and now sits in piles around my house waiting to be sorted, tossed, filed, passed on, put away, etc... I have a few problem areas that I will be focusing on this month. School Cubbies - For some reason this area is ...

In our last house we used ...

It doesn't help that I have two really capable older kids that can do any chore in the house as well as an adult. I haven't had to think of ways to make chores doable for my little ones. Well a few weeks ago, when my older ...
New House!
We received the keys to our new house yesterday. I am so excited, my mother-in-law and I painted the boys room last night. They picked the color "swampwater." I wasn't too thrilled about the color, but now that it is on the wall, I love it! I hope to update throughout the week, but moving is the priority! For those of you who have emailed me about the coupons, I am way behind in my emails, I ...
