Save Green By Going Green

January 11, 2016 Leave a Comment

Are you making any home improvements this year? I have a number of projects tentatively planned, such as updates in our bathroom and kitchen.

We also have some plans to go green in certain areas. We’ve already swapped some of our light fixtures to LEDs, and I’m hoping to update a few key appliances to energy-saving units.

The infographic below details how you can Save Green by Going Green.  You’ll find 4 key things, and you’ll find out how and why these things are good for the environment and your pocket-book!

Planning Your Days with Progresso Light Soups and a Giveaway

Disclosure ProgressoProgresso Light Soups

A few days ago I talked about some of my goals for 2016, and part of those goals centered around the word focus, as in focusing on the tasks I have to do each day and staying on track.  The best way to do this is to be organized and to plan out your days.  As with most things, there’s no one-size-fits-all way to plan your day.  A lot of people thrive on order and having each hour of the day mapped out on their planner, and a lot of people have jobs that actually depend on a schedule like this, but if you work from home, or if you’re a homeschool mom, this type of scheduling may not work for you.  That is why I am trying more of a Goal Based Schedule.

Friday Favorites – Week 302 – Organizing in the New Year

January 7, 2016 2 Comments

Hi ladies! Happy Friday! Thanks so much for stopping by today to party with us.  For today’s party I will be showcasing a few organizing ideas and printables!  And if you really love organizing with printables, I shared  a post last week featuring several printable blog planners, which I think you will find helpful in the new year.  So be sure to go over and check that out!

Also, you may have noticed that I’ve made a few little changes here at my site.  I have a new banner, and I’ve also tweaked the colors and couple of other key design elements and pages.  Another thing that I’m working on this week is changing over my email newsletter list.  Starting next week, my RSS email and other future mail outs will be sent via Mail Chimp.  I’m very excited about swapping over to the service, and I believe it will allow me to send out a better newsletter to subscribers and also offer exclusive content and freebies.

As part of the transition, I’ve been advised to have all of my current subscribers “re-subscribe” or “re-confirm” their subscription.  So if you are currently subscribed via Feedburner or Feedblitz,  I need for you to subscribe again to my blog. You can do so, by visiting this subscription page.  And if you are not yet subscribed to my newsletter, I invite you to subscribe today!  I have a lot of great things planned for the blog this year, and I hope to bring some great extras to my subscribers!

Now without further ado, let’s get on with the party!

Tide Ultra Stain Release and My Number One Laundry Tip

January 6, 2016 7 Comments

Laundry Tip

The other day I wrote about the importance of simplifying your life.  One area of our lives that can definitely use a little simplification is the housework!  I was listening to a discussion the other day, and a lot of people said that laundry was the household task that gave them the most trouble.  For me, it’s always been fairly easy, because I have everything well organized. (Although to be quite honest, things have been getting piled up for me sometimes lately, so I’m making a little tweaks to the system!)  Today I’m going to highlight the latest laundry product I’ve been using, and I’ll share with you my number one laundry tip.

Focus and Simplify: My Words and Goals for 2016

words for 2016

Do you have a “word for 2016”  A word?  Yes, a word!  A few years ago, I first learned about the word of the year concept.  I think of it as a one-word resolution.  Your word can be anything.  It can be a one-word goal you have for yourself, a feeling or emotion that you want to feel in the new year, an action you want to perform in the new year, and above all just anything that you want to have as a priority in your life for the year.  Today I’m going to talk a little bit about that.

As you can see, I’m cheating this year and am selecting 2 words….is that allowed? lol. [Read more…]
