There are some great things happening behind the scenes here.  Thanks to Blissdom, I’m refining my blogging time.

So, keep looking for some exciting announcements in the next few days….you won’t want to miss them!

Washing lots of these:

Getting rid of lots of these:

So my house won’t look like this:

No household items were harmed in the making of this post.

No photos of our real home have been shown to protect the not-so-innocent.

Thank you.

Blissful Memories

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Real friendships can start online and get closer in person…

(Emily, Me and Nester)

Real friends will let you crash in their room because you were driving back and forth from home…

(Sandy, Me, Nester and Melissa)

I learned to ask hard questions:

Why am I blogging?

Who am I helping?

How do I balance my online life and my “real life”?

It was a great time of leaning but, I also had a blast with my sweet blogging friends!

(My hair on Thursday night. And yes, I did make the feather hair clip. They will be for sale soon!)

(Two talented and adorable gals…Lisa and Emily)

(The awesome posy pin maker: Lindsey)

(Ever inspiring Edie)

(Lovely house bloggers Melissa and Kimba)

(Jen and Nester…full of frugal beauty how to’s)

(The hilarious and down to earth duo: Kristen and Nester)

(And my new friend Gussy)

All these lovely photos (except Gussy’s) were taken by the lovely Emily. You can visit her at Chatting At The Sky.

Seasonal Food Chart

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

I have been trying to compile a list of what foods are in season each month.  Not only will the food taste better, but it will be a lot less expensive!  I was giddy when this little gem showed up in my Google reader…

Chart by Leon

(The chart was made by the Leon restaurant chain in London, but since British weather is very similar to the climate of most of North America, it works well for most of us.)

You can get your own chart here…for free!

How Do You Find A Good Sale?

Have you ever bought something and then seen the same thing a week later….on sale?  I have and it’s really frustrating, especially for big ticket items!

I just ran across a great post that shows what months that certain groups of items are on sale.  You can check it out here at Life Hacker. You can thank me later. {wink}

Now, dear reader, how do you find good sales?  I can use all the help I can get!

For more Q & A head over to Works For Me Wednesday at We Are THAT Family.

Happy New Year!

I was looking back on my goals for 2009 and this scripture came to mind…

Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23


Looking forward to a fresh start and a new year shared with you all!

Merry Christmas!
