Simple Mom shares the best universal cleaning hack:
Hello, everyone! I am doing my first guest post ever over at Reluctant Entertainer today. Whether you love entertaining, or are completely mortified about having people over you will love Sandy:
“Reluctant Entertainer is written for anybody – reluctant or seasoned! My love of entertaining is simply in opening up my home, and helping encourage people to feel comfortable in their own skin, their own kitchen, their own home – imperfections and all – and in learning what it feels like to be free to invite and be real with people.I call it real entertaining for real people.” ~Sandy
Come on over! I’m sharing one of my favorite recipes~
goodness gracious gorgeous. I have plenty of branches around my house…couldn’t I pull something off like this above my daughter’s bed? From Pretties and Posies via Right at Home. Thank you, Jamie!

good online or you can print off to use in stores.

tomorrow is the last day of school for us.
Halluh-loo-yer.
Your thoughts yesterday made me even more excited, but we’re still making up snow days from our long winter. One last choir concert tonight, ice cream party tomorrow, my daughter’s birthday party on Sat and we’re there!
My baby has been waking up with the birds at 5:30 a.m. This equals a very tired, grouchy mom who all of a sudden doesn’t get any alone time in the morning. Raaawwwrrr.

Kimba’s tile artwork. I don’t want to tile a whole wall in my bathroom, but what if I did a big ol’ square like this above the loo? Fabulousness.
You know I couldn’t have a CME without something flowery! How about this hot glued ribbon flower from V and Co.? I want to drink it up.

One of the greatest sacrifices of moving from Texas to Virginia? I left my Hobby Lobby behind. A moment of silence for no Hob Lob

But! There was one in Utah, so you can bet your bottom dollar I went with my list I had been making for months. At the top of the list?
Knobs!
I wanted to replace these plain, tired ones on the doors to the laundry room and pantry:

Hey, everyone! I interrupt this blissfully quiet afternoon naptime to share a great deal:
JcPenney.com has a $10 of $10 purchase code right now: DADROCKS
I just got one of these pillows for $10 shipped~they are $14.99, plus abt $5 shipping. You can also get them shipped to the store to save a little. What a great way to add a punch of color somewhere!
Don’t they look very similar to these PB ones? And they are less than half the price, plus you get the pillow, not just the cover.
There is tons more, maybe you could find a cool Father’s Day gift as well? If you find something great, share it in the comments! Don’t forget to enter the code when you check out and remember, it doesn’t work on all clearance or closeout stuff.
Off to tackle the hundred and eleven other things I should be doing…
no, they’re not paying me…just passing on a good deal.
One of my favorite little shops we went into while I was visiting my family in Utah was Dear Lizzie in Highland. Pure loveliness. I just wanted to lay down right here:
I thought this would be an appropriate re-post as many of your kids are out of school or getting out soon…I’m getting my cards ready for next week. I uploaded the chore cards we use 4Shared to download. or on Google Docs to get an idea of what we use. You are welcome to copy, cut, paste, and adapt to your family to your heart’s content(the formatting got all messed up when I switched the font to Times New Roman, but you get the idea) If you share them, please just link back here~thank you.
