I Tackled the Curtains this Tuesday

I recently began trying to get my house better cleaned and organized.

I still haven't written a post detailing my struggle but it's coming soon, I promise.

Today was a real breakthrough for me...I accomplished something - from beginning to end - that has always seemed like an overwhelming task.

Drumroll please...Today I took down my shower curtain AND my kitchen curtains. I washed them AND dried them...but I also hung them back up! AND I bought a new shower curtain liner and replaced it!! All these steps in one day. It may not seem like much to an orderly person but it was major for me today. I didn't think about taking pics of the progress today but I'll try to remember next time.

For a little added motivation I will link up to this great blog on Tuesdays.

Menu Planning Monday

I have really been feeling guilty lately about not keeping a more organized home. My husband deserves it, my kids deserve it and I deserve it too!

I'll get into my story in a later post but for now I'm just going to join this fun blog hop for the first time and jump right into the menu for this week.

Monday - Chili and Grilled Cheese
Tuesday - Quesadilla
Wednesday - Roast Beef in the Slow Cooker
Thursday - Pork Loin with Apples
Friday -  Eat Out
Saturday - Pizza
Sunday - YOYO! :D

35 Ways to Use Stuff

I have to admit I'm a bit of a cheapskate. I hate buying a single-purpose tool but I hate it even more when I have an issue that might require me to leave the house and spend money on something I'll rarely use. After all, that time and money could be (should be!) spent on glass!! Check out these tips...

Bead Soup Blog Hop #7

So today is finally the day for the reveal....I spend so much time preparing for these blog hops that it's surprising when the big day finally arrives. (So much preparation? Lori probably just fell out of her seat laughing!)

My partner Maria Clark (http://sweetwillowdesigns.blogspot.com/ ) sent me some beautiful components and the gorgeous polymer clay pendant was made by her. Purple is one of my favorite colors and copper is definitely my favorite metal so I was thrilled when I opened the package. The beads are so beautiful on their own that I didn't want to create something too intricate and detract from them.

I know there is much hopping to do today so I will get on with the pics. Please be sure to visit the other folks in today's reveal and don't forget that there are two more reveals over the next few weeks.
