Tidy Tuesday!

Welcome to Tidy Tuesday!

I have recently discovered Mabels Labels, and I am in love!

She sells labels for your clothing, shoes, bags, lunch boxes and everything in between!

If you or your little one is often losing things, or you have to keep track

of who owns what,

this is your solution!

My personal favorites are the household labels

Having all of my spices, ingredients and etc. labeled in my kitchen helps cooking and preparing meals go much smoother, and it looks so much nicer!

The clothing labels are designed to be washing machine safe and ready for any fabric.

If your child has allergies or special food needs, this is the perfect solution to send them with.

Make a label with their specific food or medicinal need and it eases a lot of the worry!

Mabels Labels is an affiliate of Simple Life, simply click on the logo to the right and you will be guided to their store!

Have fun!

fun and wacky ideas

The other day I was having a conversation with a girlfriend about

how to avoid blisters when wearing new shoes. She told me a friend of hers suggested cutting a

panty liner in half and sticking it to the inside of your shoe, brilliant!

So this lead me on a quest, to find more wacky items that can be used in different ways.

Here goes nothing..

Did you know?

You can clean up a cracked egg with salt?

Just sprinkle on, and wipe up!

You can use the sticky side of a post it to clean the inside of your computer keyboard?

Run it along those pesky cracks to pick up debris and dust!

You can keep your costume jewelry looking shiny with clean nail polish?

Brush it over the jewels and it will keep them shiny!

You can rub a dryer sheet over your hair, and your fly aways are gone!

Do you have any wacky ideas for everyday items?

Please share!

Healthy Habits

As an avid vitamin taker and a regimented exerciser I am perfect at keeping my health in check.

Ok, the only check I need here is a reality check!

Keeping your health in line takes some work, and some organization.

My new found love is from an old love, moleskine.

They have developed a 240 page book to keep track of personal goals, exercise, doctors appointments, diet vitamins, new recipes and more.

I recommend keeping it in your kitchen next to your

vitamins so you can record what you take and when.

It has been so helpful in allowing me to see when I remembered to take my vitamins,

what my last exercise session was like and when the last time I drank my greens was

(Yikes, three weeks ago!)

This item can be found here and was featured here this month.
