Simplify your kitchen!
At the end of August, I decided to start decluttering my house. One place I started was the kitchen. I had been fighting with my kitchen for awhile trying to keep it clean, and it finally dawned on me that I had too much STUFF!
So here are some things I did to simplify and declutter [...]
WFMW – Planning for Christmas
Did you know there are only 99 days left until Christmas? Can you even believe it? I have been very convicted this Christmas season to be wise about how we spend our Christmas budget. Every month, we put a certain amount into our “vacation” fund which covers birthdays, trips, and Christmas and I’d really like [...]
Keeping my table from being a catch-all
For some reason, our kitchen table has become a catch all. Maybe it’s the placement of the table, maybe it’s the sheer size and we think a few things won’t take up too much room, but I’m really not sure. All I knew is that I had to do something about it. There were car [...]
Like a McDonalds Vanilla Iced Coffee
I’m so glad Works for Me Wednesday is back!!
I haven’t been drinking a whole lot of coffee lately (and if I do it’s something decaf), but I ran across this copycat recipe of a McDonald’s Vanilla Iced Coffee and couldn’t resist sharing it. I also can’t resist saving money or helping others save by making [...]

WFMW – Morning Sickness
The fight against morning sickness has begun, and I am trying to do all I can to keep it at bay. The first thing I do is stay hydrated. Dehydration is believed to bring on morning sickness and the queasies, so I have a water bottle with me at all times. Not only that, but [...]

Yesterday, Jaime asked “Hi! Will you please share your recipe for quinoa tacos? Im always looking for new ideas for quinoa – to convince my husband that it can be delicious!” I figured this would be a great recipe to share because it works for me!
Random fact: Quinoa is actually an extremely [...]
Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant
I just recently bought the new Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant since it claimed that it would keep me dry. I am a high moisture person, and I tend to sweat a lot. I loved the idea of not worrying about wetness throughout the entire day.
The deodorant cost almost $8 at Wal-Mart, and after I read [...]
Making a green home
My DH and I have decided to really work on going green, and these are some things that we have put into action that really work for us.
