12 Days of Christmas: Blessing My Husband

12 days of Christmas image

Here is my Take it on Tuesday project: This year for Christmastime, I wanted to bless my husband by doing something thoughtful for him. He is the perfect guy for me: strong, yet sensitive, affectionate and understanding. I love him so much, but I don’t often show it in his love language: words of encouragement.

I’m combining what I saw on All Our Days, and the idea of speaking words of encouragement to him. I know that the actual 12 days of Christmas begin on Christmas Day, but ours will run from December 13th through Christmas Eve. Each day my husband [...]

Welcome back to 31 Days to Building a Cleaning Routine!

 

Day 6 task: Simple Cleaning Supply List

I’ve been looking at a lot of blogs that give Homemade Cleaning Recipes for awhile now, and pinning them. I’m so excited to try my hand at making them and cleaning!!

Having some new really motivates me to use it, even if it is a cleaner.

 

I specifically searched for cleaning recipes that would use inexpensive items (or items I already had on hand) and would serve more than one purpose.

You probably already know you can use [...]

Take it on Tuesday: Fall Leaves Wreath

Hello! I know I promised to reveal my wreath yesterday, but sometimes real life trumps blogging. In this case, “real life” meant going to our bi-annual Library sale and picking up a bag full of books for $5 and correcting Chemistry tests.

 

If you want to link up to Take it on Tuesday, join the party!! There are plenty of great projects to browse through (especially if you are looking for something fall inspired)!

This has been the easiest wreath I’ve made yet. If you have been [...]
