Classy Sassy DIY and More

Welcome back friends and family. Hope everyone had a great weekend.  Let's talk about how much we hate to clean. I haven't met many people who actually enjoy cleaning their house. It's a never ending process, especially if you have kids or pets.  I am fortunate enough to have a husband who helps with cleaning. Actually, he cleans better than I do.  My husband and I on one of our many hiking trips Here is a list of 5 things I do to help keep a clean house.  1. Spend at least 20 minutes a day picking up the small things of clutter around the house.  2.  Make a chore list for the family.  3. Take the extra time and steps to put an item where it belongs vs. just laying it down.  4. Get the dishes done before going to bed every night.  5. Wipe down all counters before bed.  Our chore chart that I made and change weekly In an ideal world these things will be done everyday, but life happens. Sometimes I am not able to do some of...

 Welcome back friends and family.  I wanna share this great idea with you all.  We all share the bathroom in our house.  We have a second "master bath" but it's no bigger than a closet and there is no room to get ready in there.  We only use it for the shower.  So this family of 4 shares one bathroom to get ready in the morning.  Fortunately for us, we all have different schedules and are not all trying to get in the bathroom all at the same time.  One of my pet peeves is the amount of yuck when it comes to teeth brushing.  There is the waste of using paper cups, or using the same cup over and over again (YUCK), the spit being on the counter, toothpaste somehow being on the wall and floor, the mouthwash spilling everywhere.  I decided enough was enough.  I found that if you put the mouthwash in a soap dispenser and use 6 pumps it dispenses the perfect amount of mouthwash and there is no spilling.  I found the soap dispenser at ...

 Welcome back friends and family. Have you ever gone online searching for organizational tips for small spaces?  I have many times over the years.  I absolutely hate when I go online and search for organization tips and such for small spaces and get these posts promising that and see they've got big walk in pantries or a lot of cabinets space or whatever.  Does this annoy you also?   I love my home, don't get me wrong, but it has very little in the way of cabinets, or storage space in general.  My kitchen has exactly 7 cabinets and 2 are only about 6 inches wide.  I had no pantry at all until my sweet husband bought me a storage cabinet to put in the kitchen.  So when I try to organize any of my spaces it drives me crazy cause I have so many ideas but can not implement any of them because of space.  Oh, and I should also mention, my laundry room is in the kitchen too.  This is not a how to or DIY post. This is more of a this is what...

Welcome back friends and family. Today if like to show you a quick little DIY. I found this  little sign at Dollar Tree a few weeks ago and thought it was cute as is but wanted to make it just a bit better.  Now, like I said, this is cute as is and can easily be placed on a shelf or a tired tray and be perfect for you. I wanted it to be a little extra. I removed the flower but will keep it for another project. It came right out without any extra tools or anything.  The next thing I did was to sand away any rough surface around the hole. Once that was done I used just a regular black sharpie and put dots and small lines all along the outside of the letters just to make them stand out just a little more. I think it really made the letters pop and made it look just a bit more high end.  I found this really cute garland with wooden beads and these little circles with sailboats back when Dollar Tree had all their nautical décor out at t...
