Easter Wreath

I finally got around to making my fru-fru Easter wreath. It took me all of 20 minutes to make.

Here is what you need:

1 straw wreath with wrapping still intact

1 feather boa

1 package plastic easter eggs

U-shaped floral picks

Take the feather boa and attach all the way around the wreath. I did it in a zig zag pattern so that it would appear more full. Then I opened the plastic eggs and punched 2 holes in them with my crop-a-dile. I put the picks through and into the wreath and then snap closed the egg. How easy was that?!?! Let me know what you think!

Ask Anna- optional chore

Today was an optional day at Ask Anna's Spring Cleaning blog. It was a beautiful day here in Arkansas, so I decided to take the challenge. Today we were to wash our plants. Although I didn't make it to all of them in my house, I chose the nastiest, largest ones....my trees.

I took them outside and hosed them down.

Let dry.

Turn them over.

Hose them down again.

I am going to clean out the corners they were in really well before I bring them back inside. This is something that I have been putting off for a long time....so glad I took the challenge!

Ask Anna- Task #2

Today's Spring Cleaning task was to clean ceiling fans, entertainment centers and bookshelves.

First....ceiling fans. Oh my!!! First of all, my ceilings are very tall. I am not. So the living room will have to wait until my hubby comes home and can get me a ladder. This is a picture of the one in my bedroom. Our bedroom is the dustiest room in the house....so it was bad! Here is the before...

And here is the after!!

I also need to take down the glass globes and run them through the dishwasher...but that is for another day. Are you ready for this? I wasn't!!! This is also in our bedroom. I am embarassed to even show it. But we are all in this together right? Please tell me you have a corner like this in your house!! And this is the after. No dust....but the scratches are still there. I will have to get some stain to touch that up. But again...that is for another day!

We (our school PTO) are gearing up for Teacher Appreciation week. For the next week or so I will be sharing some of our ideas and will be posting items on here that you will be able to print off for FREE!

We decided that one day we would give them each a package of peanuts with a tag...

Spring Cleaning Day 1

Today I started my Spring Cleaning with Anna. Actually I was supposed to start yesterday, but didn't realize it. Sorry! Anyway, today was my day to tackle curtains and blinds. I use a soft sock with Basic-H (Shaklee) and water to wash the blinds. It works great! So easy to slide in the small spaces.

I had to get a picture of the dirt that came off....YUCK!!!!

And they are CLEAN!!! It is SO nice!

While I was cleaning the blinds I washed and dried the curtains. I washed them in cold on delicate and then dried them on delicate until they were barely damp. I hung them immediately a) so the would finish drying and b)so I wouldn't have to iron them!

It is not too late to join our cleaning party! Can't wait to see what she has in store for us tomorrow!

I found this recipe on
Gluten Free Mommy and decided to make it and share how it was. It was SO yummy!! We don't get many casseroles any more, so this was a treat.

It is named the Enchilada Bake and you can find the recipe
