You May Not Have Thought Of…Silver Sharpie Labeling
1. Build something. There is a creative side that comes out when you can build. Build with blocks. Magnatiles. Letter blocks. Boxes. Legos. Sticks. Tents. Anything! 2. Eat together. We always try to eat our meals together because it is during those times that we often have our best conversations. I find myself laughing more…
The first thing I think of when I hear the word BLEACH is ruined clothes. Why, I am not sure because I don’t think I have ever ruined anything using bleach. Though I seldom use it because I am fearful of that very thought above: ruining something. What I have learned though, is that bleach…
Cardboard boxes can get in the way. Cardboard boxes can clutter. Cardboard boxes are clumsy and take up a lot of space. Have you ever thought of other ways you can use your boxes for other than storing and packing items? In our basement, we have a large stack of boxes. We decided that after…

One thing I look so forward to in the summer are fresh vegetables! There is something about being able to walk out to the garden and grab a handful of fresh green beans or peas and munch on them for a snack. Not to mention, when picking them for canning or freezing, too many probably…
I’m sure each one of us can think of a time when life didn’t go the way we had plan. When life was “interrupted.” Hello, I feel everyone could say that right now! Recently I was able to share my story with a group of women (shout out to my friends in Caledonia, Michigan!). They…

That is awesome that you even labeled a chair – well, now you know where it is and no one can discreetly steal it! Love it and thanks for sharing!
This is genius. Thanks for the great tip! I took the advice and just silver sharpied my spices. Woot! Oh my goodness, this will save time and make it easy for everyone to see what they want. Great tip!!
Thank you! I am glad that you have been able to put this to use – it has made a HUGE difference in our home and it sounds like yours too 🙂
I really want to share how I do my spices, but it's sort of hard to explain. I'll give it a shot, and if you like the idea, I'll forward pix.
We took some trim 1/2"x2" and cut it to just under the width of a cabinet door. My sweetheart mounted them on the door with 1/2"x1/2" brackets. About an inch above the ends of each mounted piece of trim, he put a 2" metal bracket. Then we strung strong wire through the holes on the brackets, making a line between the two brackets just under an inch from the top of each piece of wood. That made a little retainer to hold the little plastic containers of spices–in alphabetical order. Make sense? I keep any extra amounts of each spice in the back of a bottom drawer, where nothing else ever goes. Works for us!
Hi Mary :). I would LOVE to see pictures of this! Even detailed pics of the basics to the finished product? I see a guest post coming soon ;)???? This sounds like a GREAT idea and a DIY project, which makes this even better! Let me know your thoughts 🙂
My Awesome Wonderful and I are traveling, and I'm just catching up with my posts. When we get back home, I'll do this very thing. Many who have seen this project have replicated it. So, yes, I'd love to help your other friends.
Awesome! Thank you Mary 🙂
