My home was over flowing with STUFF! All kinds of stuff, too much stuff, it was so overwhelming. I knew it was time to do something about it. Time to de-clutter and get organized! How did I do it? Separate STUFF into 4 piles. For each area I cleaned, I separated the clutter into different piles. My problem areas were my kitchen counter, my dresser, my desk, my closet, the bathroom closet and the kids bedroom and toy room. So yeah, basically my whole house! I have my dresser right by my bedroom door. It became the prime spot for placing things as Keep reading...

GOALS for 2012 – Goal #2 – Make some Extra MONEY!
Being a stay-at-home mom, I'm always looking for ways to make a little extra money. These are two of the ways I earn extra money:1. Recycle. We recycle our bottles & cans. Although it doesn't bring in a lot of money, every little bit counts! We get about $15 - $20 a month through recyling.2. Host Yard Sales. I try to have a yard sale at least once a year.

At my last yard sale, I Keep reading...
