Homemade Glass Cleaner

Posted by Hallee on Jan 6, 2012 in Housekeeping

Yes. It’s really this simple. You’d think with all of the products on the market that it would be more complex, but it’s not.

Budgeting Spreadsheet

Posted by Hallee on Jan 4, 2012 in Budgeting, Christian Faith, Stewardship

Last year, I wrote about the budgeting spreadsheet that I created in Excel to manage my household expenses. This was an INCREDIBLY popular post, and many people asked for a copy of the spreadsheet to be emailed to them.

Just Keeping It Real

Posted by Hallee on Dec 13, 2011 in Housekeeping, Life

I have a schedule for a reason. It works best when I stick to it. I don’t really know what happened. Last weekend, I was pretty sick with a bad cold, upper respiratory thing. Monday all day I spent at a cardiology appointment then Gregg and I went Christmas shopping.

Fireplace Glow

Posted by Hallee on Dec 8, 2011 in Housekeeping, Life

Then I saw this post about how to make a faux fireplace by Ann Marie at Household6Diva.

I am not a great decorating ideas person. I think you’ve seen enough of my house in pictures to realize that it just simply isn’t my area. But, I’m great at copying. So, I saw this post and it got me thinking. How would candles look in the fireplace?

Dear Hallee: “Help!”

Posted by Hallee on Sep 30, 2011 in homeschooling, Housekeeping, Life, Marriage, Parenting

I’m embarrassed to say how long ago I received the following letter – several weeks at least. I read it, and started mulling over it and just never got back to it. It took me a while to decide how to respond, and then it took me a while to decide to respond here. The subject line in the email was “Help!”

Finally Worked it All Out

Posted by Hallee on Aug 23, 2011 in Blog Stuff, homeschooling, Housekeeping, Life, Marriage, Parenting

I’m a busy person. I tend to have several irons in the fire simultaneously. I’m great at multitasking and quite capable of juggling. However, I realize that if I want to homeschool the boys, I need to be able to stop everything around me, end the outside distractions, and just teach. This is my trial year. Scott just turned 5 and we are “Redshirting” him – so we’re going to work with a 4K program. If I can do it full time this year, then we know we’ll be able to continue doing it. If not, then we need look at our other options.

Easy Homemade Bathroom Cleaner

Posted by Hallee on Jul 6, 2011 in Housekeeping, Stewardship

I found a really complicated recipe – three different kinds of essential oils, a soap, some household products. Seemed like a science experiment. The next place I looked, I saw one that had two simple ingredients. I thought I’d try that one first, for the ease of the simplicity. I figured if I didn’t like it, I could start getting more complicated.

Something About Me Most People Don’t Know

Posted by Hallee on May 20, 2011 in Housekeeping, Life

One thing about my personality that most people can pick up on within a short amount of time in meeting me is that I’m a very capable person. If I see a task, I figure out a way to accomplish it. I’m good at logic, I’m good at critical thinking, I’m good at math, and I have a tendency to take charge and lead. All of those things combine into one neat little capable package.
