Can't Wait To Try Wire Baskets

So what you are telling me this stuff can be used for more than just keeping the dog inside the fence?  This is the same stuff hubby wired to the fence to keep Mr Sammy from escaping.  L-O-V-E this idea!  I just had to share it with you.  OH THE POSSIBILITIES!  Go to Thats My Letter to see her full tutorial!

Can't wait to try this

Check out these primative apathocary jars.  For the full tutorial go here.  She just made them again for spring.  Soooo adorable!

I Did it, And I Love it!

Remember a few weeks ago I posted that I wanted to try this.  I said I was going to do it that same day after Little B woke up.  Well, I really did it.  I cleaned out and packed up all the clothes too small, stained, ripped and torn and other stuff she simply wasn't going to wear again and rolled up the rest.  We have lived like this for a few weeks now, and I am absolutely loving this new set up!  I can clearly see each of her shirts and pants in the drawers and can easily choose a different outfit, rather than sticking with the same ones on top, washing and repeating.  So yahoo to me!  I would encourage you trying this in your toddlers dressers!

These are actually Little Bs drawers, picture taken today and I didn't even spruce them up.

 I'm so impressed aren't you?

A Day of Learning

Last Saturday I was able to attend what I call "The Most Amazing Day in a Very Very Very Long Time" day.  It was Women's Conference through our Church.  This particular conference was set up with the choice of attending 4 different mini classes, there were 18 to choose from.  I chose:

The First 5 Years - What are the characteristics of children five and under?  Learn about your young ones and how to meet their special needs.  Learn how you can help them learn and grow in preparation for their elementary years.

A Place for Everything and Everything in its Place - This class will focus on a way to increase energy, reduce stress, and build self-esteem through 5-step organizing--the proven process to organize anything.

Simple Suppers- "If you teach a recipe, all you have is one recipe.  If you teach a technique, then you have thousands of options!" paraphrased from Iron Chef Michael Simon.  Come learn techniques for fast and easy meals and leave with some fast and easy recipes as well!

Decorating on a Dime-The fun of this class is to see how little you spend and how great it looks.  The biggest reward is that you can do it yourself!  You will amaze yourself at what you can do for just pennies.

I am going to post what I learned from each of these classes and I will start with the first one, and go from there.  I did ask permission to post the handouts.  I am so excited to share with you what I learned and how I plan to add this knowledge in my every day life.
