http://gabrielsgoodtidings.blogspot.com/2011/11/bobby-pin-magnetic-strip.html I have a bobby pin addiction. Around my house, you can likely find a bobby pin in every room, but I can never seem to find one when I need it. I have less of an addiction to ponytail holders, since my hair is shorter now, but I still have an abundance of those as well. So when I saw this idea on pinterest, I knew I had to implement it immediately. And, since we're already doing some master bathroom renovations, I thought this was the perfect opportunity! I wanted to "pretty it up" - you know, make it something where I would smile each morning when I opened the medicine cabinet.

If you missed this morning’s assignment , you can find it here . It was a pretty typical morning here: Bible, blogging, morning routine, running, radio interview, and homeschooling. I took a quick shower and then Kaitlynn and I headed out for a fun afternoon “date” together. http://moneysavingmom.com/2012/04/4-weeks-to-a-more-organized-home-assignment-10-update.html

4 Weeks to a More Organized Home: Assignment #10 Update

Medicine Cabinet Makeover Class | Natural Health and Weight Release Solutions For Busy Moms

http://www.healthymomskitchen.com/medicine-cabinet-makeover-class/ Over the last two months, my family has saved HUNDREDS of dollars in medical care thanks to essential oils. Let me break it down for you with just one example: In just the last two weeks, both of my kids got pink eye. Before I learned the Medicine Cabinet Makeover class content, I would have taken the time to make an appointment at the doctor – two separate appointments as they didn’t get it at the same time. Then, I would have paid a $25 copay per kid, which would have ended up being around $200 per kid when I got the final bill because we have a $500 per person deductible ($1500 total for our family).
Pests are pesky. No one likes to go out into their garden and find out that all the beet greens were eaten by caterpillars or your broccoli is full of worms... How do you stop it? One way would be to apply chemicals. I am willing to apply them when necessary, but I do all I can FIRST with natural ways to get rid of them.

10 Stylish Family Schedule and Command Center Ideas

Det började med att jag ledsnade totalt på röran i mitt badrumsskåp. Sminkborstar låg huller om buller med mascaror, läppglans och kajaler. Först och främst var det dags att rensa. Bort med allt det gamla, det uttorkade och det som jag inte använder.

Reminder: Daylight Savings Ends on Sunday + Other Seasonal Reminders

source: Alec Mills This is a great opportunity to get an extra hour of sleep, unless — like us — you have little ones who don’t really care what time the clock says. This week we’re in Disney World, so we’re hoping they’ll be so exhausted when we get back on Saturday that they’ll sleep an extra hour on Sunday morning anyway! (which is a great way to make sure you’re doing it regularly and avoid being woken up by a chirping detector in the middle of the night!). Change the batteries in your carbon monoxide detectors (and maybe your thermostat(s) as well). Check medication expiration dates.
