I love natural popcorn, but I don’t love paying $4 a bag to buy organic popcorn. So what’s a gal to do? Make organic popcorn at home, of course! Here is a home made popcorn recipe that is super easy. You will need organic popcorn kernels, vegetable oil, and a pot. If you like kettle […]
It’s time to spring clean, but you just can’t get on the decluttering bandwagon. One of the hardest things about decluttering is the awareness of the money spent on getting all that stuff that now sits unused. For some people, the best first step to shedding the packrat habit is to pass along your no […]
we had a yard sale last year and brought home hundreds it was awesome!
Here from a blog hop and happy to meet you,
<3, New Follower
i’m so lazy i just take my stuff to our church. I think we have a bad location for a garage sale anyway.
Very timely, we’re having one at the end of the month to raise money for our Girl Scout Troop –
Interesting how even in the country things are ‘cultural’ so to speak. No one here has Garage Sales on Sundays. They always run Thursday PM to Saturday PM.
Great tips girl!
Hi I am a new GFC follower.
we are thinking of having one – because we are moving in a few months – so a bunch of the stuff we definitely don’t want – we want to try to sell! I hope we can sell some of it.
I live in a really busy road so my yard or garage sales always do really good. I hope to have one soon because we have so much to get rid of that is in good shape!
My husband and I have talked about having a garage sale for several years now . . . but I have always been so intimidated with the idea of setting one up. We do NEEEEEEEEEEED to do it — goodness we have so much stuff that needs to be GONE . . . I just just get overwhelmed thinking about clearing it all out.
Great tips — there were several things here I hadn’t thought about. Maybe Hubby and I can do this after all.

I HATE garage sales, but having one this year is a neccesary evil. I hate the agressive bargaining people…blech!
Good luck on the sale!
We’re organizing right now to have a garage sale in about 2 weeks! We just had a sale last year but I’m surprized at everything we have to sale this year – I wonder where it all comes from!?!?
Great Tips!

I do really, really well when I have a garage sale, but I only have them about every 3 years because they are killer hard to get ready for. But I usually make about $800 and up.

Tea bags are my best friend! I was blessed with genetically born puffy eyes!
the toothpaste trick has been in my arsenal since I was a teen 🙂
Hmm… I’m still not sure I’m going to run out and buy hemmorhoid cream 🙂
I need to keep some toothpaste in the house for just that reason. I use gel, but that’s a good impetus for change right there!
What great tips! I had heard about the toothpaste and tea bags but not the others! I will definitely keep the sunburn one in mind as I tend to get those a little too often!
Great tips! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the tips! Gold Bond powder is really great for sunburn, and a dab of Vicks Salve helps bruising if you apply it as soon as you bump yourself. Use both only in places that you aren’t close to your eyes of course. 😉
You’ve never heard Snoopy laugh? I posted a youtube for you. LOL
those are really great tips!! I have not heard the toothpaste idea, I am going to try that actually. I have heard the tea bags idea and can say it really does work!
Great tips! i love the visine on a pimple!
Love this! My husband gets those nasty cold sores. I’ll have to try the lemon idea.
my friend just told me the toothpaste thing for my son actually. I’d never heard that before which is shocking considering the state of my skin for the last 20+ years.
Great tips!
Good ideas. Thanks!
Great helpful tips! Thanks 🙂
Awesome tips! Thanks for sharing.
Nice tips! I didn’t know about the lemon on a cold sore deal; I always mix a bit of cherry malox with cherry children’s tylenol and the “swish.” A doctor shared that with me and it WORKS — not only is the pain relieved but the cold sore is gone so quickly.
Great tips – thanks for sharing!
I tend to get cold sores, so I will have to try the lemon sometime. It is definitely cheaper than Abreva if it works. 😉 I never thought of ibuprofen for a sunburn. It definitely makes sense, though. Thanks for the tips!
Hi thanks for sharing Beauty tips really i like it . it increase my knowledge.
Those are great tips – I have heard some – but not others. I never heard that about Visine before. Or the lemon for cold sores.
Thanks for the info 🙂
Ohhh I love to hear great tips :). Thanks Darling 🙂

OMG, that is hilarious!
Too funny!!
LMAO Love it!
too funny!
I heard something like this in a comedy skit years ago and it started with the son writing very long, sweet, thoughtful letters talking about school, his subjects, the struggles of college life and later asking for money. As it went on, the son’s letters got shorter and shorter, to the point where it finally ended with
“No mun, no fun, your son.”
to which the father replied,
“Too bad, so sad, your dad.”
too funny!
That is so clever!!!
CLASSIC lol
Kas
Lol…now THAT is funny!
Bwahahaha!
Haha! It is so true too! 😀
LOL that was great!
LOL Very funny!!
That’s too funny!
Very cute.

The home is the family’s oasis, where you reunite together after your day. Your bedroom should be even more inviting and relaxing- it’s the place your family settles in and rests, and it should be a calm and lovely place. I love our bedroom. We have a big bed with marshmallowy pillows, calm blue walls, […]
I love those holdbacks, mine are old school tassles, we need an upgrade too
Those are beautiful, Penelope, and they really do add something to the room!
Very nice! 🙂
Very pretty!! I’ve been searching for curtains for my office. I’ll have to check out Curtainworks.com!
Love the new window treatments! Looks so pretty!
I love it!
Gorgeous curtains! Oh I love the ones you chose, they are so elegant 🙂
Very pretty! I love those rods and holdbacks!
Whoa, those look great! That’s really posh looking.
I have been kind of busy with my home and my school life soon to start parttime work. I have been always blessed with work and challangers. But I do love your surtain makeover it is beautiful… and I love 100% silk. I am sucker for that. Good choice and taste… finally thanks for letting your hubby and son been praised for how great they look. I bet they enjoyed it very much 🙂
Very pretty, love the rod with the pretty details. 😉
That looks so elegant!
The drapes look lovely.
Gorgeous, Victorian style curtains . .. beautiful against the blue walls.
Wow! Just beautiful!
So nice! Thanks for sharing.
I came across your blog on the Top Blog Christian Parenting site. Your blog is beautiful and refreshing. See you again soon. Blessings!
Love the tiebacks!

thanks for the review.

like i said….
whenever lol
I was looking for Window Valances and found your site. Thank you for posting! I love the new valances.
I can smell it cooking from here. I love popcorn made that way (won’t even TOUCH the stuff from a microwave).
looks great. i’ve never made popcorn any way except in the microwave 🙂
Love it. We use a brown paper sack and the microwave. It works and there is less clean up and you don’t have to use oil 😉
My grandpa used to grow a “popcorn garden” and we got to make it like this all the time when I was growing up. I loved it.
Yum! I’m not a big popcorn fan but do like it once in a while
I laughed about your slow cooker comment, i can’t believe you let it go for 4 hours LOL
I love my popcorn make on the stovetop, It tastes sooooo good.
I’ve done that lots and it’s fun! You just have to be paying attention. 🙂
Interesting. I’m banned from making popcorn cause I always burn it. My mom doesn’t use a lid, but she “shakes” the pot as the popcorn is popping. She doesn’t burn a thing. I’m jealous!
I love you for this!! Seriously!! Thanks.
Oh this looks good. We love popcorn so thanks for the tips 🙂
LOVE making homemade popcorn, but I haven’t done so in a looong time. The thought of making popcorn in a slow cooker gives me the giggles. 😉
We don’t make a lot of popcorn, but when we do, I like using my air popper.
This is how my mom always made popcorn when I was a kid.
You know I just picked up some kernels the other day in the bulk section! I so need to make some popcorn balls, you got me thinking about getting that going! Thanks for the tip on olive oil I would have used it.
cool – thanks for sharing; we’ve popped natural popcorn kernels in the microwave but have never tried it on the stove top.
Big popcorn fans here. It’s usually our weekend treat but its microwaved babe but thanks of sharing another Im sure healthier way of doing it :).
Great snack & low calories!
