A Step Inside

1.  Since I love using natural remedies for wellness, this is a great tip;
Boost Immunity with an Easy Stretch 
Tight muscles might mean a weakened immune system. Loosen up with an easy stretch: All you need is a chair or counter and a free minute. 

2.  One way to motivate yourself to mop the kitchen floor when it needs it… Start to shake a jar of baby food (organic of course) and not realize you’ve already unscrewed the lid.. Doh!..

3.  This is a really great guide for what to buy and what not to buy at dollar stores..

4.  Please say a prayer for my little cousin.. She is just 14, and is having further testing on the 18th, but the doctors have mentioned cancer cells.  She is heavy on our hearts right now.. Love you, Whit!

5.  So proud of Erik for his installation of our new, and pretty snazzy faucet this week!  I was a tad concerned when he told me he thought he was plenty certified to install it after watching a youtube video.. Ack! haha  Nice work though, honey!

6.  I’m super excited to have new carpet coming this week for our master suite, and Kaylor’s bedroom… Then I realized that it also means completely emptying two bedrooms, two walk-in closets, and a 10 year old’s closet.. Eek!

7.  The girls made up their own “skit” yesterday and had to come show me;

9.  Couldn’t help but share another video.. Nothing in the world beats baby giggles;

10.  I love these photo display ideas.. Can’t wait to update a wall (or two) in our home;

1.  I love these diy bookshelves..  On my list for the new playroom after we move;

2.  This may be a well known tip, but when I’m making cookie bars, I use a piece of parchment paper and baker’s roller to smooth out the dough for an even baking consistency.. Works like a charm!

3.  Billy Currington (a country singer) was featured on a bag of onions I bought.. I had to laugh aloud, as it seemed so strange!  lol

4.  Don’t have any buttermilk for a recipe?  Use a cup of regular milk and add a tablespoon of lemon juice, and let sit for 5 minutes.  Works like a charm!

5.  Have you ever thought about selling your phone on ebay?  I sold my iPhone 3GS for $290 (after having it for two years!) and just bought the iPhone 4 for $299!  Even w/ the ebay fees, not a bad deal!

6.  Speaking of phones.. I bought a case as well as a screen protector for my new phone, and found out that it blocks the sensor for making the screen go black while on a call.  This doesn’t sound like much, but when you’re constantly putting your caller on hold, mute, and ending the call..yikes!  Here is the one that I had purchased.. I’m exchanging it for a clear one; screen protector

7.  Isn’t this beautiful?  Would be lovely anywhere in the house!

8.  We received an offer on our house over the weekend.. Unfortunately, it was considerably less than what our “bottom $” was that we have in mind..  So, we’ll continue to be patient, and wait for His plan

9.  We’re still studying the book of Exodus for our small group.. Initially going into it I though, “will I really be able to relate myself to Moses and his life?’.. I’m so glad to say that YES I can!  It’s amazing how literally, every part of the Bible really does speak directly to us.. I love it!

10.  I made a quick cake over the weekend to try out a new cake recipe… I’m proud to say that there IS some still left at this point in time I used a cupcake frosting recipe that isn’t that stiff, so my roses (I use that term loosely.. lol) didn’t hold too well.. Ah well, it didn’t have to be pretty to taste good.
