Funtastic Friday #211

We're still working on our home cleaning and organizing projects.

Throwing something in the crock pot

gives me that extra time to work on the house.

Soups are easy to put together in your crock pot.
When the weather gets cold in January,

I'm craving soups!

Marilyn has a recipe for Wild Rice and Ham 

that I'm adding to this week's menu.

Another favorite is our  creamy Ham Potato.

My kids love this recipe!

You can find all of our soup recipes {here}

Can't wait to check out this week's link party...

maybe I'll grab a bowl of soup as I peruse all the great ideas you've posted.

Here we go....

Printable Cleaning Checklist & Organization Tips

January always brings that urge to clean out and get organized.

Maybe it's because we're starting a new year,
a new you with resolutions and goals.
 And want our homes

to start out fresh and clean too.

Just getting things organized, decluttering and tidying up

puts us in the right frame of mind to hit the year running!

"Stop waiting for the perfect time to get organized. Take this moment and make some progress"           -Heidi Leonard

Build upon that urge to get some things organized and cleaned out.
That's what I'm telling myself as I have this "nesting" urge to organize and declutter right now.

Funtastic Friday #210

We've got one more week of Christmas break-

life is good!

And 2019 is starting off great.

We've been out shopping some of the Christmas clearance sales.

Stocking up on wrapping and ribbon.

My best find was some Hearth and Hand reduced dish towels 

and a ceramic gather mug for under $1!

I'm starting to put away Christmas,

organize and clean out.

Trying to use up leftover candy canes and

Angie's Candy Cane Snowball Cookies will do the trick!

This week we also wrapped up 2018 with a look back 

 at all your favorite Hive posts {here}

Then printed off  a new calendar for 2019.

To get ready for the new year and all the events it brings. 

Isn't that calendar cute!?

We even added important holidays to remember

like George Washington's birthday (the same day as one of my girls!)

and National Sister's Day

and Chocolate Day- the important days to remember ;) 

There's room for you to add in all your birthdays

and meaningful holidays too.
