Simple Mexican Pita Melt

Meals must be the thing that I stress about the most.  I get busy during the day and then it happens: its 4pm and I find myself without a clue in the world, in terms of what I can feed my family.

How to Easily Wash and Dry Your Rugs without a Carpet Cleaner!


Carpeting is a great thing, but over time, rugs collect dust, debris, food, and other not-so-pretty things. This is especially true with kids in the house. Our kids are asthmatic, so the allergens that our rugs collect must be kept at bay. We have had a trusty carpet cleaner for the past six years, but after losing a filter cover we have had to find another way of keeping our rugs clean.  So here is what you will need: dirty rug(s), laundry detergent, a water hose (spraying attachments are a plus), a cemented area, and a bristled brush (we use a long car-washing brush that looks like a push-broom).
After vacuuming your rugs, take them outside to a cemented area.

New Year, New Beginnings: Pointillism Artwork



I am not much of a "new year resolution" person, but I must admit that there is something wonderful about the year "refreshing."  Yes, yesterday carries over into today, but at the same time, the dawn of a new year can make it seem as though it doesn't.  Today was the first Monday of the year, so we commenced school.  Being that my kids are in kindergarten and pre-school, we keep homeschooling it pretty simple.
