Quick Tip

Just wanted to share one of my favorite cleaning tricks. I found it on the weekly Taste of Home Menu$aver Newsletter that I receive through e-mail. Click on the link if you'd like to sign up to receive it yourself!

Do you throw away used dryer sheets? STOP!! Save them to use as quick dusters, especially good for mirrors and glass! They don't leave streaks and will get just about any spots off of your mirrors, including toothpaste splashes! I've started keeping mine in a grocery bag to pull out when needed, but an empty tissue box would be a great holder, too. Oh, and dust on the dresser? Gone!! I love these handy little sheets so much that I thought I'd share the secret with you. Let me know if you try them out and how you like it. And please share if you have other quick and easy cleaning tips. I'm sure we'd all love to hear them!

Happy cleaning, Ladies!

    That is a great idea!! I wish my husband would use them. We have to use the liquid in his eyes.

    This doesn't work so well for your suggestion but here is what I do. I heard a while back that the dryer sheets are really way bigger than needed so I started cutting mine in half. When I first get a box (and I use what you do), I cut them in half and put them back in the box. I get a lot more uses out of the dryer sheets.

    Thanks for the tips. I love things like this.

    I have actually heard this before. I guess I need to start saving them, thanks to you. You can also use the liquid fabric softner mixed with water to get hair and hairspray off the base boards in your bathroom.

    Love that! Also got an email this week about using coffee filters for various odd things, one of which was cleaning mirrors as well!

    Ok, so I tried this---It totally works! Where does all that dust go? I kinda felt like the oils from it gave my tv stand a new 'glow'. Thanks for the tip!

    I had heard this before, but now have been motivated to action. I laughed as I put my tissue box full of dryer sheets in my laundry room cabinet. I thought...Ashlie would be so proud of me. :)

Oh, how time flies!

It's been a year, y'all. A year since I married the love of my life, the funniest man on earth, the sweetest husband around, and the only leader I will follow unconditionally. Nathan and I have said several times over the course of this first year together that it has been so easy and FUN!! Everyone said there would be an adjustment period where we would be getting used to each other's habits, but, we're still waiting for that to happen! Maybe we are super easy-going because it seems as though we've blended our lives seamlessly. Of course, there's been a few little "I do it this way..." moments, but no big blow-ups and such. When I look at my husband, I am constantly reminded of how HUGELY God blessed me with this man. I am absolutely, 100% positive that there is no other man more perfect for me than Nathan. Our love story is too full of God's hand and we are just so much alike. Even our differences complement one another. For instance, I abhor doi...

Hello? It's me again!

Hello all! Apparently I decided to take a 2 1/2 month blog break. I know, you wish I would've warned you. But, the thing is, it just sorta happened on the fly. I got busy, was too lazy to post, and my sister moved away (that's a whole other post). And to top it all off, my computer decided to succumb to one or several of the viruses floating around WebLand. So, when I was ready to post two weeks ago...ha! no internet connection! So there. Those pesky little 1's and 0's showed me! I just thought I was gonna get back into the swing of blogging. Anyway, my computer has been revived (thank you, Lord) and I am anxious to show you what I've been up to this summer. Yes, I have a few PICTURES! Yay! Actually, this post is going to be rife with pics since I'm so behind. They may or may not be in chronological order, though. It depends on how cooperative Blogger is today. *wink* Many of you know that my sister and I like to make stuff and since she now lives thousands of...

On this day 2 years ago, I married the sweetest cutie pie ever. Around this time, my bridesmaids and I were in an upstairs room of the church getting dressed and putting finishing touches on our makeup. I can't believe it's already been 2 years!! It's absolutely flown by! In honor of this momentous day in mine and my hubby's life, I thought I'd post some favorite shots from our special day. I hope you enjoy! Me & my bridesmaids eating at Strawn's before going to the salon for hair & makeup. All of us are sans makeup! Hair in progress and seeing my bouquet for the first time! Daddy & his brother, Greg, in the background Hair and makeup is done! Now on to the church!

Our ring-bearer :) saying our vows havin...
