SMART Habits Saturday


(Are you wondering what SMART Habits Saturday is? Just check it out here. I have been looking at Lara's website for a long time and finally decided to join in on this. )

Okay...I have been wanting to be a part of this for a long time. I finally decided...I just need to start. There are so many things I need to work on, but I am going to work on making our bed every morning. I did well at this for about a month (6 months ago, but have failed.) So I will start to make it a habit today! Wish Me luck......as I start my journey with my SMART Habits Saturday with you all. :) (I am just going to start with this one and add on each Saturday.)

This sounds great, Melanie! Good habits are a great thing! I had gotten in the good habit of making my bed every morning and then I got derailed. I used to love a freshly made bed. I have a white down comforter and my bed used to look like such an inviting cloud to sleep on when I made it. My dh loves it when I make the bed. I think of it as a gift to him when I do it. You have motivated me to begin anew. Sorry to be posting this anon but I'm your Secret Pal. I hope you are having a lovely day. :)

I never used to make my bed growing up, but now it's the first thing I do in the morning. I love how calm it makes me feel! Good luck this week.

making the bed is a good place to start! and welcome to SHS :O) i sort of cheat in making the bed. i just pull the sheet and covers up to the pillows, straighten, then pull them down half way and viola! i'm done. no tucking needed. it's quick, helps make the room seem neater and a good way to air out the sheets at the same time.

good luck!

It's amazing how much cleaner the bedroom looks when the bed is made. I only noticed this after I decided to make the bed one day and my DH said, "Wow! You cleaned the room!" Wish the rest of the rooms were as easy!

Welcome to SHS! This is my second week doing it. So far it's been a great motivator and people are very encouraging. Good luck with making your bed - that's one thing that I've never done consistently. Maybe I'll try that one of these weeks.

Here is mine!

Western. Like Midland, Western is another accent that people consider neutral. So, you might not actually be from the Western half of the country, but you definitely sound like it.


I actually am from the midwest so its kind of funny.

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn'

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Today I am taking part in Kelli's Show and Tell and her Giving Thanks week. Last Saturday I had the chance to do something I had never done before. I put together a gingerbread house with my MIL and my children. My MIL made the gingerbread and then she had me help her assemble it and then decorate it. We didn't finish it all, but we hope to finish it this afternoon since she has the day off. I am pretty proud of myself. Next year maybe the children and I can do this as a school project/activity. So...here is the gingerbread house in all it's glory. I hope to post a finished

Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa
