Coming to an End

 


Happy Saturday to All!

If today would have been the last
day of the month, I would say it is
ending as it came in. Like a lion.
We had snow on the first day of
March and we woke up to snow
flurries today! I am watching
our Royals baseball on T.V. and
everyone is bundled up like they
are at a football game.
Such weird weather we have had.


Hopefully tomorrow will be more
lambish, with sun and warmer temps.
We shall see.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

A Little St Pat's Blarney

 


Hello!

Well, St. Patrick's Day is around the
corner so I thought we'd have a little
fun.

Here are some St. Pat's jokes. Enjoy! 
No cheating...answers below :)


Why did the Leprechaun climb over the
Rainbow?

How do you spot a jealous Leprechaun?

What do you call a big Irish spider?

Why do Leprechauns hate running?

Why are so many Leprechauns florists?

What happens when you cross poison
ivy with a four leaf clover?

How is a good friend like a four leaf
clover?

***********************************

To get to the other side!

He/she is green with envy!

Paddy long legs!

They'd rather jig than jog!

They have green thumbs!

You get a rash of good luck!

They are hard to find!

How did you do?

Irish blessing:

May your blessing outnumber
the shamrocks that grow, And
may trouble avoid you wherever
you go.

A Week of Freedom

Hello All!

Yes, this is how I am feeling.
Spring Break has arrived!!

Looking forward to time to do
whatever I want whenever I
want. I have some projects
planned, books to read and
the usual--laundry, groceries,
etc.

I won't lie, this has been my
toughest school year yet. My
students have been a challenge
plus several others challenges
have been around. Hopefully
with time off things will go
more smoothly when we get
back.

The weather will be mild this
week and hopefully we will
see some sun! I would love
to open up the house and
get some fresh air in here.

Enjoy your week, be back soon.

Getting Your Ducks, Chickens or Life in Order

 


Happy March!

Ours will be coming in like a LION
as we have ANOTHER Winter storm
on our doorsteps for Saturday night
into Sunday morning! Oh boy.

Well let's get back to March shall we?

I think most of relate March to Spring
and "Spring cleaning." If you are up
on trends recently you know that tidying
and decluttering are what you should be
doing in you life and home.
A lot of people I know are following a
gal named Marie Kondo. I believe her
key statement if "finding spark in
your things." My version of her statement.
I find her to be a declutter fireball.

March's Country Living Magazine had
a great article on organization that I
found more helpful because truthfully
most of our things are "sparkly" to me.
Their article goes from kitchen to craft-
room suggestion way to organize the
items in each of these spaces.

In each of the spaces the start out with
a three tired galvanized stand.

Kitchen:
Their stand holds breakfast and tea
items.
They also suggest using:
A wooden beverage crate for spices.
Enamelware roasting pans for cook-
books, crocks and jars.

Bathroom:
The stand holds those items you have on
your countertop--beauty supplies, tooth-
paste and toothbrush, vitamins etc.
All in cute little containers.
One thing they suggested is to go through
your make-up and toss the items that are
expired or well used.

The Mudroom:
In this space the stand holds all those
things we toss. Keys, change, candy and
sunglasses. Don't forget the pups in your
life. They put a small crock with dog treats
with the leash next to it there to.
Some of the other things in the stand were
a small calendar, notecards with a muffin
tin holding stamps.

More suggestions:
Open mail when you pick it up. Recycle
what you can throw away other stuff
and put away what you are keeping.
Corral all magazines etc in containers
of your choice. When I finish with mine
I take them to school and put them in
our staff lounge.

The Craftroom:
So many uses for the stand in this space.
Ribbon spools, markers, pens, pencils
and scissors. Glue, paints, stamps and
Wasi tape. Fabric, pin cushion, tape
measure are some of their suggestions.

Crocks can be used for a lot of things.
Picnic baskets can hold specific projects
or as they suggest and I actually do this
one put your yarn , needles other supplies
in one. Plus they are transportable.

As always when tidying or decluttering
donate as much as you can. Thrift stores
are great but think outside of the box.
Check with the schools, churches,
scout troops women's groups/shelters,
community centers to see what their
needs may be.


Happy tidying!
