Tidy Tuesday – Teaching a Child How to Clean Their Room (with printable checklist)

I used to be so frustrated on Saturday mornings when I wasn’t allowed to go to a friend’s house until I had cleaned my room. It often felt like a completely insurmountable task. I would often be driven to frustration, not having a clue where to begin!

Remember when computing used to look like this? In university we got the ability to create our own profile page online. It was a text website and we’d use character strokes to “draw” pics on the screen. Then we’d have to connect via a phone modem. I loved hearing the squealing tones! I remember well, type: T1……

365 Days of Blessings Challenge – Day 83 – Pico de Gallo!

I am thankful for Pico de Gallo

My favourite is Penny’s Salsa! I buy it from Costco, multiple 48 oz jars at a time! When I was pregnant I craved it. It’s the kind of slow burn that builds and builds. I LOVE IT!

Warmest regards,
