Diane - Very true. I've been a busy bee yet again today. In the morning I got the last section of the bedroom done, I just have the dreaded over stairs cupboard to start tomorrow. In the afternoon I have got all the veggies done and put in the fre

Hey! I have 3 that I bought at Ocean State over the winter to store soap supplies in. I'll have to go back and see if they have another size, the ones I got were pretty small. I just have baking soda and cornstarch in them, so I only touch them every

Trying to stay on top of all the jobs I'm juggling right now. Working this afternoon and feeding supper to a friends dog. DBF is starting work on my car today so I have to finish emptying it out for him. Think I'll work around the house till I go t

Re: Glass containers by Diane D @ 05/18/13 07:37 AM

The old pyrex is amazing! I'm just going to keep my eyes out at tag sales and swap meets, though I really don't like stopping at tag sales anymore. From what I understand the French White series is pretty good. Corningware is expensive though and I

Purchased the plants for the front porch. Going to hang up my butterfly art also. Need to find some pansies for the bench container. Have a bench made out of a twin bed, and the man who made it put in little side boxes for plants I believe. I lik

Re: MAY JUS DO IT ; JDI PART TWO by dianaro2 @ 05/18/13 07:27 AM

Honestly Maureen, it has been working so well with those rewards. Takes me a little longer, but it is getting done and that is what I am aiming for. Of course, I have no little ones craving my attention and feeding. Finished up the craftroom tablet

Wow BL, all filed and taxes done. A huge WHOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO to you. That is great! That fruit wood smells so good even in the fireplace! ~~~~~~~ Got the craft room floor a little clearer so now I can concentrate on sorting, tossing and selling.

Re: MAY ROOM OFTHE MONTH : ROTM by beaglelady @ 05/18/13 07:20 AM

Last night needed to keep busy so went through all the cabinets in the bath and filled a can with tossed old or not being used items. Also rearranged the top of the counter to make it more functional. love those storage drawers they sell for office u

Re: BRANCHES WEEK EIGHT; All house cleaning by dianaro2 @ 05/17/13 10:21 PM

Got the craft room pretty well cleared up but still a lot to do. The floor (except for under the work table) is pretty clear and the empty boxes are stored in one place should I need them. Next week I will concentrate on getting it straightened out.

Re: MAY ROOM OFTHE MONTH : ROTM by beaglelady @ 05/17/13 09:52 PM

Not tons of progress at home but some work done. Having issues with health insurance coverage and cell phone plan and spending more time on phone than I want for it, but it must be done. Little things done all week. working on the new biz and finall

Re: MAY PRODUCTIVITY PART TWO by Diane D @ 05/17/13 04:18 PM

Purdy - amazing you were able to figure it out with such an unusual reaction! But it kind of makes sense as it causes inflammation. Worked two jobs and am now home. Need to clean my bike and test out another rear wheel on my next ride to determine i

Re: MAY PRODUCTIVITY PART TWO by Wendy @ 05/17/13 03:37 PM

You ladies have been busy, busy!! We have been too, as you can tell, since I haven't been posting on here. Co-op is done for the year and the AWANA awards dinner is next Wed. Then we'll be in summer mode. We'll keep doing some schooling to finish up

I decided not to go to the dentist, instead I was able to get quite a few errands done. I went to the place I usually purchase flowers for outside, and could not believe the prices! Decided against purchasing any there. Went to get my hair cut, and

Diane D I am still relatively gluten free but I can have oats and sometimes rye. I have a grass allergy but find the high gluten grains to be a problem with the lower ones in the index not so. My reaction to the gluten is unusual being very bad jo

BRANCHES WEEK ONE; FRONT ENTRY/LIVING ROOM by dianaro2 @ 05/17/13 08:08 AM

First,we break the house up into branches (manageable areas), which can be DEEP cleaned in a week's time. For each branch, compile a list of all the tasks you'll need to do to get that room to SPARKLE! This includes cleaning, dusting and vacuuming t
