The Busiest Place in the House!


The Pantry!

Before- only 1/2 these appliances were being used.



After- much more functional, and gained a shelf for snacks.
More to come, experiencing technical difficulties and need to move on with my day to make my home a little more BLISSFUL!

Heart Attack!!

Happy Valentines Month!
     What to do with all that candy, cards, and more candy.
      Here's what works for us:
      After a few days of the kids devouring their candy before & after school, before & after dinner, and any time in between when your not looking, I finally purge it all into one candy bucket in the cupboard.  Because silly I know, but out-of-sight, almost out-of-mind.  And I can't stand the clutter on top of the counters.  Then narrow the rations down to one treat after school and one after dinner.
       As for the cards and such, definately keep the ones from family; parents, grandparents, etc., as for all the little cards from schoolmates or neighbors, I let my kids choose their top 3 and put them away in their keepsake books (makes for designing a scrapbook page easy with just a pink or red background).
