So Many Ornaments!

Do you have more ornaments than you need this year?


If you have children, nieces or nephews, consider purchasing an ornament box before Christmas. Currently, these boxes are in stores and come in all sizes and price points. You can fill the ornament box as you take down your tree.

If your children are grown, go ahead and pass the box along! If not, purchase a different box for each child or family member and store individually until they have a home of their own.

What a nice way to pass on those ornaments along with a proper storage box that will keep the ornaments in use for years to come!

Porch Pillows and Bird Poop

Covered Porch Seating

I love my covered porch. I love birds. I do not love it when I find bird poop on my porch pillows! So, I purchased an outdoor wicker trunk that serves 2 purposes - a coffee table and a place to store all of my throw pillows. When we are not actively sitting on the sofas, we pull the back cushions down on the sofa and the love seat. Also, I remove the throw pillows and store them in the trunk. Below the pillows I store laundered outdoor table linens too!

Dryer Lint

Have you EVER moved it? Pulled out your dryer from your laundry room away from the vent that directs the heat to escape? Have you noticed that your dryer cycles are taking longer and longer?

We recently updated our laundry room so I had to remove my washer and dryer. Holy lint! Yes! Lint, a plenty! I took time to vacuum around, under and in my dryer vent that exits my house. Now my drying times are down from 60 to 45-50 minutes.

Saves time, energy and is much safer too. I'll be doing this annually from now on.
