Our Favorite!
Blogging has been a sporadic event for me since the beginning of summer. I really enjoyed my time on the TOS Crew last year, but all those reviews left little time for posting about the things I like. I ended up in place where I couldn’t even remember what I used to write about.
BuRnEd OuT!
Soooo I have decided to start over. First, I had to figure out what kind of posts I want to continue. I took a trip back through time and made a list.
Here are some things that make blogging enjoyable:
~ the fun & silliness involved in my TMI posts – I especially love it when my readers play along!
~ my Big List of Lists (you can see it in the column to the right)
~ fun holiday activities and carnivals
~ Jingling about cheap or free gifts
~ free homeschool resources
These are some new things I want to do:
~ Sunday Sampler – a collection of Bible verses, songs, quotes and links that have encouraged me
~ Updates on life in our lovely crazy family (my kids are a wee bit older than pictured – oops!)
Now it’s your turn: Are there any features here that you really enjoy? I will be glad to continue some of them! Is there anything new that you would like to see here, to encourage you in your walk as a Christian woman or homeschooler?
This week’s WFMW has an Entertaining theme.
I love to create a cozy atmosphere in my home, especially when people come over. A burning candle is part of our everyday life.
There are lots of inexpensive ways to add a lovely scent to your home:
~ Keep a pot of simmering spices on the stove
~ Wash all of your linens in this fabric softener & they will smell like warm vanilla sugar
~ Toss pinecones, orange peels or cinnamon sticks into the fire
~ Sprinkle peppermint oil or vanilla on cottonballs and hide them around the house.
~ Tuck a perfume strip from a magazine into a drawer or cabinet
~ Sprinkle some cinnamon inside your vacuum cleaner bag
~ Toss a fabric softener sheet into the bottom of your trashcan after you empty it
~ Make your own Febreze with 2 cups warm water, 1 T baking soda and 2-3 T fabric softener – test a small spot first before using
~ Add a couple of drops of essential oil to a box of baking soda to make your own carpet deodorizer
~ Fill a basket with scented pinecones – I fill a planter on our porch to greet guests with a cinnamon-y welcome
What do you do to make your home cozy?
