Well I haven't updated in a week, but I have been doing pretty good. I redid the kids' chore charts to help keep the house more organized. The places I've cleaned and posted before and after pics of, those have been kept that way pretty well! Clutter can take over my home so easily, so I decided to work my way through the house one room at a time, yet keeping the previously cleaned areas clean at the end of every day so I don't fall back into chaos. <br />
Progress- <br />
I try to grab at least one thing every time I get up and move, especially the living room floor, and put it where it goes. I really want the first room you walk into in my home to be clean so my focus is always the living room.<br />
Then I try to keep up with the dishes - oh how I long for the day when I have a dishwasher. The loads of dishes I have with our family of six takes no time at all to fill my itty bitty counterspace. <br />
Today, I finished cleaning our master bedroom! It's not a storage dump any more!!! I tried getting the mirror up off the floor, but it doesn't fit where I wanted to put it, so it will remain there until we move. Oh well. <br />

<div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: left;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DV6L51hluvc/S2L4sa4k9jI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/N_d2frE8MU4/s1600/DSC_0598.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DV6L51hluvc/S2L4sa4k9jI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/N_d2frE8MU4/s200/DSC_0598.jpg" width="133" /></a>Because I am often a kitchen disaster waiting to happen, I thought I'd share two kitchen tips I came across while taking a study break on Pinterest. The first is one I should have tried tonight when I was making noodles and boiled the water over - AGAIN! (I watched that pot like a hawk and as soon as I turned away it spilled all over the stove. Thank goodness I have flat top electric range.) According to the author of the tip, putting a wooden spoon across the top of the pot will prevent boiling water from spilling over. I'm not 100% sure I buy this, but I think I owe it to my stove to give it a try! Let us know if <u>you </u>try it and it works - or not.</div><div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: left;"><a href="http://g-cdn.apartmenttherapy.com/2274364/dirty_rect540.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://g-cdn.apartmenttherapy.com/2274364/dirty_rect540.jpg" width="175" /></a>The second is a kitchen cleaning tip that I need to try on a baking sheet. Not sure how I'm going to adapt it yet for that, but it looked promising so I bookmarked it just in case. It's a step by step method for cleaning burnt pans without harsh chemicals and with great results:<b style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22px;">1.</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">Fill the bottom of the pan with a layer of water, about 1 cup. </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22px;">2.</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">Add 1 cup vinegar. </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22px;">3.</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">Bring the pan to the boil. It should be looking a bit cleaner already. </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22px;">4.</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">Remove the pan from the heat and add 2 tablespoons baking soda. Expect fizz! </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22px;">5.</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">Empty the pan and scour as normal, if necessary add an extra bit of dry baking soda. </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22px;">6.</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22px;">If there are any super stubborn marks that don't come off with scouring, make a paste of baking soda and a couple of drops of water.

Hello!<br />
<br />
Wow! Christmas break really drained my available school lunch supply stash! Last week was such a challenge that I didn't even have enough to post about. We are getting back on track this week though, and building up our lunch supplies again. Here's what my kids will be having for lunch this week:<br />

This week is the beginning of a challenge that Scott and I are taking on. We have challenged each other not to eat out for the rest of the month of January. I didn't work between Christmas and New Year's so the budget is stretched pretty thin this month and we are going to have to plan carefully and work hard to succeed at this challenge, but it will be a good test for us to see if we can do it. I'll let you know each week how we do when I post our menu plans. <div><br />
</div><div>Do any of you struggle with eating out too often? What do you do to break the habit? I'd love to hear your stories to help keep us motivated.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Here's what we are planning this week:</div><div>Chicken and Beef Taco Rice</div><div>Scrambled Eggs, Hashbrowns, Oranges, Green Peppers</div><div>Beef Storganoff with Noodles, Corn</div><div>Broccoli Cheddar Quiche (I keep planning this but it never gets made!!!)</div><div>Enchiladas, Salad</div><div>Homemade "Wetzel Dogs" (Complete experiment - wish me luck!)</div><div>Spaghetti, Garlic Bread</div><div><br />

I'm sure many of you have already packed the tree and all it's trimmings back up - ours went back into storage over the past weekend. But, for those of you who are still enjoying the holiday decorations or who were frustrated by how to get it all put away without breaking anything, this one is for you.......<br />
<br />
<a href="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/205195326741555026_z1XBAImc_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="christmas decorations storage" border="0" height="200" src="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/205195326741555026_z1XBAImc_b.jpg" width="185" /></a>If your ornaments fit, you can use cardboard egg cartons to store them. The carton is designed to protect eggs, so it should do a great job with your ornaments too. The cartons also stack nicely inside a larger container or on a shelf. If you start saving now, you should have enough cartons to pack all your ornaments long before next Christmas rolls around and you'll be re-using something that might otherwise end up in a landfill. <br />
<br />

<a href="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/97742254382301116_BhgsPX9I_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Pinned Image" border="0" height="200" src="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/97742254382301116_BhgsPX9I_c.jpg" width="150" /></a><br />
If your ornaments don't fit into egg cartons and you want to invest a few dollars in an alternative storage solution, try <a href="http://designalamod.com/?p=92">this clever idea</a> from Design a la Mod and create you own ornament storage container. I like this one the best. I may look for some clearance cups between now and next December so I can make this once we unpack the tree again.<br />
<br />

<br />
This morning I'd like to welcome the new year by introducing the "Wednesday WOW," as in "Wow, why didn't I think of that?" Each Wednesday I'll put up an idea or two that I think is a great idea or time saver. Some might be new to you, and some of you might have even better ideas. If you do, I hope you will share them. You can either comment below or send me an e-mail. <br />
<br />
The inspiration for this weekly feature came from my mom, who sent me a list of neat tips that she thought I would enjoy. She was right, and I wanted to share them with you, my cyber friends. I hope you enjoy them and find at least a few over the course of the next few weeks that you are able to use or find helpful.<br />
<br />

The holidays were great and I loved spending time with my family, but I got a little lazy with meal planning and we had a little too much "convenience" food over the last 2 weeks. I'm making a concentrated effort to buckle down and get back on track this week. Here is what we will be serving at our house this week:<br />

<em>I didn't get everything accomplished as I ended up picking up a shift, and then had some friends over last night. However, I am pleased with how much I have accomplished. So I'm giving myself until Wednesday to finish this list off. I am already feeling better - I started taking Iron pills again. Why do I not remember that when I feel so rundown, that I'm low on iron? Ugh. As you can see by the pictures, I've cleaned up the entryway and living room areas pretty well. I've got the table cleared off, well, not right now lol So I hope to have pics of the kitchen updated by the end of Monday :D One of my goals is to Keep My House Clean - A 30 Day Challenge, something to keep me motivated to keep the house free of excess clutter. I know this will my my hubby happier, me happier, and it will be easier come moving time :D</em><br />

I am so overwhelmed with my To Do list. However, all four kids are home today and will be helping me attack this list. I have not felt well for several weeks, and I'm wondering if there is too much dust or mold in my house, so I'll be deep cleaning all day today and into tomorrow. I've made a list online before and crossed it off as I got them accomplished, so I'll be sharing this with you all day and tomorrow.<br />

I've made a list online before and crossed it off as I got them accomplished, so I'll be sharing this with you all day and tomorrow.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: red;">Tuition Payment - $1000 due on 1/25/2011</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul><li>Currently Saved <span style="color: blue;"><strong>$100 - 10% of our goal</strong></span></li>
<ul><li><span style="color: black;">Whoa, this is quickly approaching. I forgot about it, crap. lol</span></li>
</ul></ul></div><span style="color: red;">Fun Money - Not sure what to save up for. I'm toying with the idea of visiting my sister in Maine in June...</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="color: black;">Deposited $0 in fun money.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black;">Current Balance </span><span style="color: blue;"><strong>$117.72</strong></span></li>
<ul><li><span style="color: black; font-size: x-small;">This account pays for my membership at Curves, for my ladies night out, and gifts for birthdays and Christmas. So I need to start saving for Christmas! Oh wait, I'm excellent at finding sales/deals, so I don't need much lol </span></li>
</ul></ul><span style="color: red;">House Fund - </span><span style="color: red;">Goal $15,000.00 by 5/31/2011</span><br />
<ul><li>Took out the balance to pay off two loans this week :D So, we'll be starting over. </li>
<li>Currently Saved <span style="color: blue;"><strong>$</strong><strong>77.19</strong></span><span style="color: navy;"><u> </u></span></li>
<ul><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">In the next few weeks I plan to research out where to put our money to get the highest interest rate. I know it might not be much, but every little bit helps :D </span></li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I also plan to call around to different banks and find out mortgage rates, down payment requirements for different purchases - such as 'regular' house buying mortgages, foreclosures, short sales, contract for deed, etc. Then we'll know what we are up against :D</span></li>

</ul><span style="color: red;">Bank of America loan as of 10/01/2011 - $2228.49</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Outstanding Balance <span style="color: black;">is </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit;">$</span></span><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit;">0 ZERO :D</span></li>
<ul><li>We decided to just pay this loan off regardless of how little interest we were paying on it. Hubby R was highly blessed with his commissions this month, along with a Christmas bonus. I cannot tell you how happy I am :D We were highly blessed this year financially. We depleted our house fund to get rid of this completely, giving us <span style="color: black;">nearly $200/mo back 'in our pockets' - aka our house fund. B</span>y the time we're set to buy a home, the balance we took out to pay this off will have been replaced and then some. So as much as I wanted to keep that house fund stocked, I believe this is a better route to go. </li>

This week, my kids only have 2 1/2 days of school and I decided to let them eat hot lunch both days. It seemed a little simpler and saved me a trip to the grocery store. Menu Plan Monday - Lunchbox Edition will be back when the kids head back to school, the week of January 3rd. I'll be adding some "at home" lunch ideas to next week's Menu Plan since we will all be home on vacation from work and school. If you have young kids, enjoy your break from packing the lunchbox and I'll see you here in two weeks.Super Saving Sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06886779832685556367noreply@blogger.com0
