Safe Box Cutters

When I saw this assignment in my inbox I was excited.
I am a worrier...if you know my husbands history you know why.

I bet you didn't know there were SAFE box cutter options.

These are great for accident prone husband or just something a bit more safe to keep around the home.

I know a great stocking stuffer idea form someone I love=)

You can get a free safety knife from these "laceration reduction experts", and they even have a RECYCLE blades program!

Great book for boys!!

I got the opportunity to review the book Dangerous Days of Daniel X



Many of you know James Patterson already but he set out to write books that would be interesting to the younger male population. According to many surveys it was found that young males are the least likely to pick up a book for entertainment sake.

Me and my husband read it, well I am not all the way done, but I am impressed.

Some things I really like about this book is the imagination. Boys have great imaginations, so this is definitely a book I can see boys liking.

To appeal to the crowd that is least likely to read, the chapters are very short, a few pages, no one of those books with 20 pages per chapter. I think this was a genius idea!

If you know of any young boys I have a great Christmas idea for them!!
Get it HERE!

There are many write ups on this book so type Dangerous Days of Daniel X in Google and read all the great things people have to say about it.

Fleece blanket...on the beach...that is what happens when you have NO meat to keep you warm.
I love my skinny white boy.

Not so wordless, but oh well!

Hiding the clutter tip-Quick Clean Up

I wanted to share a wonderful idea I came up with a while back for cleaning up before company comes. My house is very small, we have a kitchen, living room and dining room downstairs, a bedroom for each of us (poor E has a tiny room), and a itty bitty bathroom. We do have a basement but it isn't really usable for living.
We do have a L shaped desk and desk top computer in the basement as well as a printer, fax etc, workstation, but it is kinda not real nice down there, and that is our "business" area, so I am only down there to do invoicing, bills and the like, oh and laundry too.

So when we have company there is very limited space to put stuff.
I use my dining room table to put all the papers etc. I am currently working on, all my coupons, fliers.
So my table is usually very cluttered.

So here is my table:




And here is my simple solution:


Use a cute bag (pictures is a EnviroSax) and put papers ( I am sure you all have a pile of bills, fliers, etc somewhere and don't know what to do to hide it) I also put my library books in it so there aren't piles of them everywhere.

Good idea, HUH.
I know you got a cute bag somewhere and hopefully a place to hang it!
