Life Is Better When The Cleaning Is Easy #EOSpringCleaning

I don’t really like to clean, and one of the things I really hate to clean is my oven. It’s hard to wrestle with my sponge, trying to scrub out those splatters and spills, so I’m often just tempted to avoid it and ignore it all, but I can’t (because it’s both gross to have […]

  • Although I have a self cleaning oven, I still find that I need a good cleaner to pre-treat any baked on yuck. Easy-Off sounds like a great solution!

  • Ugh I hate cleaning anything but the stove is a total PAIN! Going to check this stuff out 🙂

  • I am overdue to clean my oven, but I’m in the middle of quite a few other things right now.

  • Donna

    I love Easy Off! I’ve used it for years.

  • I need to get some of this Easy off, I just realized last week that I haven’t cleaned my oven since we let the housekeeper go a few years ago! LOL

  • I despise cleaning the kitchen but do it everyday because I don’t like the alternative..

  • I hate cleaning. Anything that makes my life easier is awesome. Which reminds me I need to clean my oven. It stinks every time I use it.

  • I need some of this.

The Great American Grill-Off #SteakOver

We are a carnivorous family, and we love a good steak. Whether grilling on the stove top, broiling in the oven, or cooking it up outside on a barbecue, we love it all. Walmart now sells new USDA Choice Premium Steaks, and we were challenged to the Walmart Steak-Over Challenge, to see who among us […]

Organized: A Label For Everything

We moved twice in the last year, and one of my biggest regrets during our first move was that I didn’t label everything properly when I boxed our lives up for storage. While applying for a mortgage for our new home, I needed documents that were somewhere, and I had no idea where. I had […]

  • I like how you can add shapes to the labels.

  • I have one of the labelers and love it!

  • I could think of hundreds of ways I could use a labeler, but above all, labeling our storage totes in the garage would be heavenly!

  • I could really use one of these!

  • rachel @runningrachel

    Ooh drool…I love labels and all things organization! ! 🙂

  • Oh boy, I would go neat freak happy with this!

  • LyndaS

    I like that you can add borders and hearts.

  • I need to start labeling everything. I have so much stuff.

  • I no longer have my ptouch machine, but it was once my favorite way to label everything! I have labels on my canisters in the kitchen that were made from my machine. They are awesome! Mine definitely wasn’t as cool as that one though.

  • I could definitely use one of these!

  • Jenn

    The OCD in me is in luuuurve.

  • I love that! It’s a great organizational tool.

  • I would be a labeling queen!

  • I love to label everything as well.

  • Mellisa

    I really need to get me one of these to help organize this spring.

  • I need a labeler!

  • Leilani

    I have an old Brother Labeler, but it still works like new. Love that thing! And after moving 6 times in 9 years, I’ve learned to make sure to label boxes properly so that I can find what I’m looking for.

  • I just got one of those & I have already labeled EVERYTHING in my office closet! Love it. Also I can totally relate to the whole, not labeling while moving thing. Not fun.

  • Love this labeler. OCD bring it on!!! 🙂 So cool that you can change fonts and put on different designs too, love the heart-shape design! 😀

  • I would go label happy with this!

  • Labels are fabulous!

  • It would be kind of neat to have something like this!

  • I would love a label maker I use to have one of the cheap old style ones that would stamp the label but I love uniformity and would love something easy like this.

  • I remember when I was young, my grandma had one of those plastic handheld label makers where you had to punch each letter on them. She would try to put labels on so many things.

    This label maker looks super handy!

  • Ugh — I ams STILL TRYING to find everything I packed from our move last summer … that labeler would have come in handy!

  • Jennifer

    I love my label maker!

  • I used to own a brother labeler yrs ago WOW they really have come a long way

  • I’ve been wanting a labeler for a while now. We had one at work.

  • The labels have some pretty cute design options

  • I love using my label maker not only for organizing but also for labeling kid stuff for school and nurseries.

  • I need one of these so bad!

  • I need this!

  • Tammy

    I use my label maker all the time – it’s especially handy to put one around all those plugs and cords that go to iPods, cameras and other electronics. We have so many of them and until I started labeling them we never knew which ones went with which device!

  • Donna

    I have this labeler and love it! I still have some projects to do this spring with it.

  • I so need to get one of these. I am trying to start off our new life in our new home, neat and organized.

  • I love labelers. I used them for a lot of my desk stuff.

Letter To My Son {April 2013}

To my dear little man, A lot of changes in a month! You now feed yourself, walk around with confidence, challenge your older brother when he takes your toy, and repeat funny sounds and noises you hear around you. How did this happen so fast? Where did my little baby go? Who is the handsome […]
