Tackle It Tuesday #137
This week I finally got to my bathroom drawers. They needed organized in a bad way and have become quite the annoyance to me. The containers I wanted I could not find so I decided to just settle for some I saw in Kmart in the kitchen section. It cost me a total of $9.99 for all 3 drawers – maybe a little too expensive but I’m so happy to finally have it done. To see what others have tackled this week go here.

A New Year
Christmas is over and the new year has already begun. We started 2009 off with a watch night service at our church which was just lovely. The next day I was only half there, of course. My Mom and Dad were here spending the week with us after Christmas. What a treat! Then we received company New Year’s Day afternoon from Colorado – a family that has 7 children. The kids were so sweet and well-behaved, everyone helping each other. It was really great to see. Most of what I do see, especially when out shopping are things like this. In C*STCO yesterday there was a mom in front of…

A Simple Valentine's Day Supper & A Few Ideas
I’ve been mulling over what to do special for Valentine’s Day, which will be on Friday for us, and I think I’ve finally figured out what we’re doing. I usually only do something special in the morning time at breakfast. We’ll still do that. I have some gifts I bought at one of the big wholesale warehouses after Christmas. They were on clearance and I snatched them up. For hubby he gets chocolate covered nuts. For the children, mugs filled with a variety of candy (we do NOT need any more candy – this has really got to stop!), wrapped in cellophane and tied with a bow. They were so…

Tackle it Tuesday #142
An old trunk. What treasure? What heirloom could it be holding? Oh, I must find out! Aggghhh! What is this MESS?! A game trunk that needs Organization. It happened one evening my little ones and some other small visitors had a lot of [choke, choke] fun seeing how many games they could pull out. Havoc was wreaked. This has nagged me for weeks but I determined to tackle it this week. I bought a few plastic storage containers. Two big ones that will store 2 or 3 games each (depending on the size) and a smaller shoe box size one to hold card games. My thinking is that if they…
