Making Tax-Time Fun with a Few Pretty Things!

Alright, let's be honest--even if you are expecting a refund, filing taxes is never fun.  As a small business owner, it's even less fun, but I look forward to the little things!

How to Clean Your Warm Mist Humidifier Without Chemicals

I’m doing something a little different today, but it starts with a short story.  During a nasty cold in our home, we decided pulled our humidifier out.  We were using an adorable Hello-Kitty cool-mist humidifier in our kids’ room, but needing a second and after doing some research, I realized that a warm-mist humidifier would be better for our family,

New Year: Out with Resolutions, In with Goals

With a new year comes the feeling of a clean slate, a new beginning.  I’ve never been one to make new year’s resolutions—I’d never quite understood why a resolution should begin on January 1st and not just whenever a person currently is.  Also, it always seemed to me that resolutions are quickly broken and abandoned.

31 Days to Clean - Days 5 & 6

My family and me on our way to church this past Sunday.

As I continue on the cleaning and homemaking journey, I am constantly reminded to why... Why is this important?  Why should I complete this task?  It is easy for me to look at my windows, blinds, carpet, etc and think: I did this recently, there is no need to do it again. Yet ultimately, I do.  Now on the other hand, I am very quick to examine the Mary challenges and "do them in my head" while marking them complete in my mind.  This is not true accomplishment as I am ensuring that nothing changes in my life.  I do not allow room for growth by doing this.

31 Days to Clean - Days 2, 3, & 4

A photo of my fridge, why? Because people like blogs with pictures. :)

Today's challenges were easy, yet difficult for me to complete.  The Mary challenge asked what I can do today to bring my house to life, the Martha challenge was to wipe down and clean my fridge.  Both of these seem easy enough, but they are both things I try to do routinely, so doing them today proved a little difficult.

31 Days to Clean - Day 1

The Hospitality of Abraham Icon

As the days progress, I will probably begin tackling two days at a time as I may not have a full 31 to complete this book!  Anywho, today's challenge was particularly difficult for me.
