Weekend Round up

I have been visiting some new sites this week and thought I would share some of them with you. A couple share my fascination with organizing and schedules.....ahhhh schedules. Sick, I know.

This lady also organized her pantry using canning jars and other glass containers that would normally end up in the landfill. I especially like the idea of using glass jars because you can customize the size with the amount of contents normally consumed by your family.

If you are a little squeamish about worms you may want to skip this next one. I have always been interested in this form of composting but it took another individual to try it, survive it and ultimately write about it. Added note: You really can buy ANYTHING on EBay.

I figured since my oldest is 3 there is no better time to have him earn his keep. Honestly I have not been pressing the issue of chores primarily because it is easier and less time consuming to do it myself. This next post inspired me to let go of this control to allow him to learn. Fact is chores are a part of life...just ask my hubby, he folds laundry like it's nobody's business

When we had more disposable income I thought nothing of shelling out $5 for shower cleaning spray. Not only am I a little (Ok a lot) for frugal I am trying to make more earth/family friendly choices when it comes to cleaning supplies. I found this recipe and will definitely be trying it out.

Hope you like these. See you next week
