Snow Day-Hurray!

We finally got the first real snow of the season and school was cancelled. Up until now, the total accumulation has been less than an inch! The neighborhood kids had a great time with the snow items they hadn't used yet this winter. My daughter built this Upside Down Snowman from an idea posted on Pinterest! It lasted long enough for the pictures and then came tumbling down.
Sara and Frosty! 

Poor Frosty! 

Josie and Ellie-Snow Pups!

Some other activities of the day:
Valentine Popcorn-Yum!

Crayon Hearts!

Products I Love!

CARD CUBBY
I love to find new products, to make life easier and more organized. The Card Cubby is a fun product to organize those cards in your wallet, in the bottom of your purse, or maybe in a drawer somewhere. With the alphabet tabs, you can quickly file them. R can be for reward card! G can be for gift cards! This would also make a great gift. The red is perfect for Valentine's Day! Check out the link below to see the website and the other styles that are available. The link is a refer a friend one, so the company will know I sent you there!

Path to Progress Continues!


One project that doesn't happen often enough at my house is getting rid of old spices! Could this be why all my meals tasted the same-bland? It was fun, the day I got the Tupperware Spice Containers(era 1990ish)! No, the spices aren't THAT old. Dumping them into the clear containers, labeling them, and putting them on a carousel in my cabinet! Well, I have come to the conclusion that that probably isn't the best method for me. I tossed most of what I had on hand and headed out to Price Chopper. It was early that morning, so the spices were all lined up in neat rows. I took one of each. It was easy to see if I had missed any! Here is the progress. Out with the old!


In with the new!

What else did I accomplish with this spice center makeover? 2 empty kitchen drawers!


Now onto the "too small for coats" closet....It is now a "puppy" closet with all of their things in one place(except for the treats in my lower desk drawer).


Josie's hook, Ellie's hook, toy box, and bins with the dog clothes, more toys, and one for my extra jammies that didn't fit in the bathroom.
One more picture-I hung the leftover lattice piece from my master bedroom closet scarf project in the hall closet. I will probably add cup hooks to use it for more storage. For now, it is bare, but lots of possibilities!

Will the projects ever end? Probably not! Until next time....
