Poke Ball Ornaments

I found the ornaments at a yard sale, bought 12 for $1 I had all of the paint leftover from previous projects. 

Fall Decorations

Starting at the fridge we will work our way around the room. Ill explain my fridge, I have a window cling leaf, my daily FlyChart, a fall-y note pad (I got it last year or the year before at a thrift store and I pack it up with my fall decor so I can use it again each year until the pages are gone. I love note pads. The magnet to the far right is photo holder that has the dinner plan from my meal planning system. I can then see what the plan is for preparations. Its a new system, It seems to work, so I intend to pretty this up a little.

This is the back of my front door (its metal) I added a fall ribbon to the Command Hook that holds the  FlyLady calendar up. To the left are some to-dos (DH's) and a bill to mail out. 

Even my key hooks got a little fall flair.

shelf in the entry way, a normal hot spot/launch pad. I don't do much launching currently, we stay home often and rarely need anything when we go, (the diaper bag stays stocked in the car). When school starts in a few weeks I will likely have my back pack on the floor here and anything else on the shelf. 

Window in the living room. Not sure how long the punkies in the windowsill will last with Ellie the mountain climber, but we will see. At least theyre not breakable. 

Kitchen counter bowl. Ellie has been sort of a picky eater lately, eating mostly fruit, so I hope keeping it in the fridge while this decor is here will keep it out of sight and she will eat more protein and veggies. 

Door to the craft room/office. I took down three little pictures that were where the cornicopia planter is. I found to prevent the room from looking too cluttered with decor, and for the decor to look right, its best to remove year round decor when putting up seasonal stuff. 

Top of TV, I need to re-hang the picture that normally hangs above the tv hiding the outlets. Theyre there if/when we ever get a flat screen wall mounted tv. You know when we come into some money. 

Door to the poker room

My shiny sink. 

Even the stove gets some love. 

A full on shot of the fridge, all the fall colored towels and wash cloths get packed up with the fall decor. Its nice to have some fresh colors in the kitchen. When I put fall decor towels in the bathroom on Thankgiving too. 

Shelves above the changing table in the bathroom

Above the toilet. I just got some shelves to put there though, which I hope to install in the next few days so this will likely change. 

Back of the bathroom door. He likes to watch us pee. jk, thats creepy. 

I also have a pumpkin shaped soap dispenser that I will be filling with orange soap, our current pump refill uses a clear soap though. There are more boxes in the attic, things like more placemats, throw pillows and blankets and a few more towels and the like are still up there. I will add to this post when I finish. I also hung decorations outside, but I intend to do quite a bit more out there, so I will probably do another post for outside. 

Early October, I swap some of the decor out for more Halloween-y decor. Early November, I swap the  Halloween for more Thanksgiving-ish stuff, turkeys, more pumpkins etc. 

Fall is my favorite time of year. It still feels like summer, especially because my school doesnt start until late September, and the weather has been pretty warm until yesterday. 

Mikey's Wardrobe

 

Looking up - Kelly's Kitchen Mission

Above my cabinets I have some baskets for storing the less often needed items, I have worked on this area before, It just needed a little purging and some labels, which I bought months ago.

I also wiped down all the cabinets up there that I could reach and the top of the microwave

Baby Steps Day 2

I kept my sink shiny since Friday, it is very nice! Today is day 2. Baby Step: Get dressed to shoes, hair make-up. read more about the importance here.
I won't go into why this is important, you can read it on FLYLady.net
I don't wear make up more than just very special occasions or when I feel like it for mildly special occasions. The habit I will be working on is brushing my hair thoroughly every day. I often just toss it in a messy bun around the house. Then it's a pain to brush when we go places, often I brush in the car on the way. Sometimes I just fix the messy bun. It's embarrassing. If I brush it in the morning as I'm getting dressed, it will be easy peasy to touch up on the way out the door. Today, I brushed my hair  and dressed to flip flops and we were off.

 Instead of lace up shoes, this is where my feet were.

I can say that I'm grateful for the bbr because we had a peaceful start to the day and were ahead of schedule to leave it wasn't a big deal when we had to pull over and deal with Ellie having thrown up in her car seat on the way.
At the end of the day, we got home and I washed the puke and beach laundry right away. Seeing my mostly clean house kept me calm and I was able to reflect on the nice day we had.

Then I remembered to check the mail (didn't get it yesterday) and my FlyLady Calendar came. I love it!!!! It's got huge lined squares, the stickers are fun too. I filled in as much as I could and hung it up. Then I checked to see if I could pay any more bills yet for September, just so I could mark paid on the calendar! 

Next I remembered we were focusing on the BBR, which includes taking care of a hotspot for 2 minutes. This is right next to my front door. I forgot to set the timer for 2 minutes bit it didnt take long at all. Mail is sorted and junk is recycled.I found better homes for a few things too. 

My sink was still shiney from yesterday since we didnt eat at home at all today. I had one thing to wash so I took care of it and dried the sink out. Im off to go brush teeth and head to bed (although not at a decent hour)

FlyLady Baby Steps Start tomorrow.

I have done some of the baby steps already but not all and not consistantly. In my Flying group on Facebook, the admins are walking us through them again as a refresher. Click here for more information. I decided since the first step is to shine your sink, I got out of bed and went to shine mine, even though the kitchen is a wreck and I have party stuff to put away. Well when I got there, this is what I saw.

I had already shined it before I left for the party! I must be doing something right already!

The habit of the month for September is going to be the before bed routine, which is something I rarely do, since I dont have anywhere to go first thing in the morning, I dont feel its necessary to lay out clothes etc. This will be great for when school starts in 24 days though! So Im glad. Shining the sink is part of the BBR.

Each day this month I intend to participate in the baby step and keep up with previous steps. I will blog much of it!

Honeycomb Strawberries

This weekend we are having a Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Party for my niece Sophia.

When I found these I knew immediately I could turn them into strawberries.


I de-strung them from the white ribbon and cut the lacy edges off (leaving the hole-punched top section).

I dotted the folded up edges with black Sharpie for seeds

opened up, the seeds are faint but I think it takes the heart look away. 

We had extra stems from another Strawberry project and they seemed to work well at the top. I cut a little slit in the middle and slid the hole punched section through.

I had to fold the curling ribbon to fit it through the hole.

All done. 

we opted to string them individually so we had more flexibility on where to hang them rather than a garland as they came. Planning this party we are realizing how easily a heart turns into a strawberry!

cost: 3.75 for a string of 7 hearts
we got 2 strings

These will look great hanging all over the back yard at the Strawberry Shortcake Party. 

Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Banner

I made this for the up-coming Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Party for my sweet niece Sophia. I love how the light and dark pinks work so well with the lime green and white stripes, (like Strawberry Shortcake's pants/hat ribbon. Also love how the polka dots sort of look like seeds on triangle shaped strawberries. 

The letters were cut from scrapbook cardstock using the Plantain Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge on Roly Poly at 3 inches. The strawberry stem is the flower in 4-5 inches (I forget) on the same cartridge folded over the top. 

I could have made the pennants but I found them for sale here (and I was ordering other stuff and got free shipping) for less than if I bought paper and cut them myself. I bought 3 different colors, hot pink, candy pink and lime. They came strung on fishing line (3 separate banners) , but I wanted to alternate colors, so we cut them off of the fishing line and hole punched the corners. 

all the pennants were strung on green curling ribbon. 

Depending on where we hang the banner, I may split the bottom line in to 2, having a strawberry pennant at the beginning and end of "birthday", I have one dark pink triangle left over. 

I considered cutting letters for the other side, in case we wanted to hang in the window or from the ceiling above the kitchen island, but we will see how much paper/time I have left over first. Because it isn't over the top specifically Strawberry Shortcake, the banner could be re-used for another party, a baby shower or something, the letters should come off easily, or we could use the back. I ended up using the extra pennant to make a "7th"  at the end of "sweet" and hung in the 2 rows shown. 

Cost Breakdown

banners: 3x$3, 

3 sheets of cardstock from my stash (calling that free)

a glue stick I had (calling this free)

green curling ribbon (included in other craft budget)

26-27 triangle banner, about 15 feet for ~$9

There will definitely be more Strawberry Shortcake posts to come! 

so far today

I have also folded and put away 2 loads of laundry, picked up a few random things and made my bed today 

I will update my accomplishments at the end of the day.

$50 to Payday (meal planning)

My nutrition class final exam was to feed myself for 4 days for $50. Everything had to be designed to prepare/eat at home. I had to plan for calories for my body/activity level. I had to include recommended amounts of each food group and fat/protein/carbohydrate ratios. 

I was able to feed myself for 7 days for under $40. Each day I planned for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and one snack totaling between 1600-1900 kcalories, keeping fat at 20-35% of total kcalories. I tried to spread each nutrient evenly throughout the day. I varied the meals from easy to prepare to more complicated, and included options that I could pack in a lunch box for school or work.

I did all my "shopping" at Winco Foods.
I saved money buying store brand, choosing some frozen produce and meat as well as shopping the bulk bins. I was able to get just 1 serving of multiple kinds of cereal rather than an entire box of one kind and get bored with it; the per ounce price was the same in bulk as in bags. I wanted a variety of foods so I wouldn't get sick of anything. Certain foods I don't get tired of and can be prepared many ways, like eggs, chicken and bread, so they appear often throughout the week.

I chose whole grains and lean meats. I opted for fat free milk but full fat cheese because it is my preference. The yogurt is natural- no HFCS or artificial sugars or colors. I could have saved a little money getting a better value on the yogurt but I forgot to write the price down of the large tub and had a receipt from some Gogurt I'd purchased recently to reference. I chose to incorporate foods my family receives on WIC- eggs, peanut butter, vegetable juice, beans, bread, full fat cheese, cereal, and whole wheat tortillas, which would lower my budget even further. In the past, I've just saved the non-perishables for whenever I feel like using it, rarely using a month's allotment within a month. With a meal plan I can incorporate those staples to use them up. I only used a few “staples” like sugar, cinnamon, margarine, barbecue sauce and miracle whip.

I enjoyed this project and I hope to use it as a baseline for family meal planning. I think if I get a few different week plans like this made, I can simply rotate weeks for meal planning. I have learned an easy way to include all the food groups when meal planning and using up all of what I buy before it goes bad.

Food List             

Fruit and Vegetables

Bagged Spinach: Each half cup has only 3 calories and provides 188% DV of vitamin A, 15% DV iron, and 47% DV vitamin C

Apples are a great source of fiber and potassium and are fat and sodium free

Avocados are a great source of potassium, and have been shown to help lower cholesterol, possibly due to high fiber content.

Peaches are high in niacin and thiamin.

Frozen strawberries: A half cup serving of strawberries provides 86% DV of vitamin C and strawberries contain fisetin, an antioxidant that has been studied in relation to Alzheimer's disease and to kidney failure resulting from diabetes

Bananas are very low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium. It is also a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, potassium and manganese, and a very good source of vitamin B6.

Vegetable juice is high in vitamin C and Iron and much lower calories than fruit juice.

I chose mixed frozen vegetables because picked at their ripest and frozen right away preserves nutrients and frozen vegetables have hardly any sodium compared to canned which are very high in sodium.

Roma Tomatoes are a good source of vitamin E, thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6, and folate.

Salsa is a great alternative to more processed, higher in sugar and salt condiments like ketchup and contains very few calories.

Oranges are high in vitamin C and water content, and eating a whole orange rather than juice provides fiber.

Carrots are rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin A

Grapefruit is high in vitamin C and potassium, and are also mostly water.

Broccoli and cauliflower are cruciferous vegetables which contain phytochemicals that defend against cancers.

Cucumber is very low calorie and with skin, a good source of toxin-removing fiber.

Tomato sauce is high in vitamin C. Tomato sauce combined with meat products help the iron in both the sauce and the meat absorb.

               

Grains  

Whole wheat bread is made of whole grain wheat, so it has not been stripped of most of the fiber and nutrients, is a good source of carbohydrates.

Whole wheat spaghetti is also a whole grain and high in dietary fiber.

Air-popped popcorn is low calorie per cup in comparison to other crunchy snacks. Popcorn is a whole grain.

Cheerios are fortified to provide 45% DV of Iron and are rich with soluble fiber.

Brown rice has not had the bran or germ removed, leaving all the natural B vitamins and Iron.

Whole wheat tortillas are a great Cholesterol and trans-fat free alternative to white flour tortillas

Raisin bran provides 45% DV iron in cup and is high in fiber.

               

Protein

Pinto beans are cholesterol free and a good source of protein,

Eggs provide 5% DV of iron, and all essential amino acids.

Tuna provides 7% DV of iron and 21g of protein in one small can.

Turkey sausage contains less fat and calories than pork sausage. Sausage is one of my favorite foods, including a healthier version is easier to do than stop eating it.

Boneless skinless chicken is a lean choice and a great source of niacin.

Peanut butter when 100% peanut or fresh ground at the grocery store, has no hydrogenated vegetable oils. Peanut butter is a great source of protein, vitamins B3 and E, magnesium and folate. Folate is especially important for women in childbearing years to prevent birth defects in babies.

Turkey lunch meat is lean and a good source of protein without much fat.

Dairy

Milk provides 30% DV of calcium per cup; I chose fat free milk to lower overall calories and fat.

Cheese is a great source of calcium and protein, I chose to use cheese often as a dairy product because I love it and it adds great flavor to foods.

Yogurt is fortified with vitamin D and is a great, low fat source of calcium.
