Tupperware storage containers work for me. You can see my current kitchen set-up with all my Tupperware containers here. As a military family, moving is part of our life. Which means, organization becomes a necessity as you never know what size space you might be living in. Also, before Tupperware, it meant getting rid of most everything in the pantry before moving. Then, when you arrived at your new duty station, you needed to repurchase all of your staples. What a waste. But moving companies will pack anything that is stored in Tupperware containers. That’s right. No more throwing/giving away…

We had so many different product manuals lying around the house that it was crazy. Then, there were all the manuals that my husband had for all of his stuff in the garage. Needless to say, I needed to find a better way to organize them and keep them all in one location. I created binders (Garage Edition, House Edition, Electronics Edition) and put all of the manuals in sleeve protectors in the binders. (Ok, I’ll be honest. The only one that is completely done is D’s as his was first on the list. lol! The rest are in process…

Posted in Homemaking
I am not a morning person. I get my best, most restful sleep in the morning hours. There are several factors that come into play here, but that’s not what this post is about.

WFMW: Love, Sweet Love Edition
Posted in Family, and Homemaking
Some of the best relationship advice that I received is to always keep the communication lines open. For us, this means that we always talk in the evening before bed. Even if D isn’t home, we always try to talk by phone or email. Obviously, this isn’t always possible, but we do our best. I tend to start talking a lot when D is trying to fall asleep, but we won’t mention that…. We also talk a lot when we’re driving. We laugh a lot too because I always bring books with me when we’re going on a long trip,…
