They sprout up so quickly...

Jenn over at Frugal Upstate has a wonderful idea on how to get over the high prices of hot house veggies.

I never would have thought to grow sprouts to eat, but I've seen them sold at leading grocery stores at a pretty penny.

Jenn makes it look so easy with her how-to.

Thanks Jenn

An Amazing Rack

By way of GoodyBlog I came across this amazing spice rack at vaughnaustin. I think this may be one of the most amazing ideas out there.

If you have any other ideas, this would a great time to post a comment.

MotherLoad: The MomAdvice Cookwear

Over at MomAdvice, Amy is celebrating her birthday and as a gift from her dear hubby she gets to choose a new set of pots.

Given my pending future, information she might give for her choice will be very useful.

She also got a beautiful Cuisinart Cast Iron Pot, head over and check it out.

Signs...

So, with all the decisions and choices that are difficult to deal with, one would ask for an answer...

Too bad God's answers aren't straight forward. Too bad they can be misinterpreted. Too bad he can't just say "Dear child, go forth and just do it," or "Dear child, huddle closely."

Can these be considered as signs or answers? Or are they just mere coincidence?

1. The number that I am calling several times a day, concerning this specific situation, has the extension number of a combination of two very special numbers near and dear to my heart.

2. While driving to dinner and to meet a person concerning this specific situation on Friday, January 11, 2008, a vanity license plate proclaims, "JUSTDOIT".

Mail Center

Julie over at Declutter It! has given what seems like the easiest "how-to" for creating a mail center in your home or office.

I hope these steps to creating a mail center will help you reign in all that paper clutter that collects on the tables, counters and any available flat surface.

I will most certainly have to give this a go. It just seems so easy.

Thanks Julie.

Dirty little secrets

At Quick and Simple the Pros are giving their cleaning secrets.

Every one has one or two. The question is, are you willing to tell yours?

I have to say that my secret is that I don't really mop the bathroom. I squirt my cleaner of preference mixed with water and wipe down as I "go".

Decisions

From choosing what kind of cereal to eat to what time to set the alarm for, we are always making choices. I googled decision maker, just to see what would come up. I found the Universal Decision Maker. Although it didn't help in my situation, maybe it might help in yours.

The end result is much more than a question of money or savings or even debt. It's all about family and changing a pattern of life.

Too bad God's answers aren't straight forward. Too bad they can be misinterpreted. Too bad he can't just say "Dear child, go forth and just do it," or "Dear child, huddle closely."
