SHOE For Today

I will be posting about SHOE for four days straight, that’s to boost up my points for Earth’s 2nd Blog Anniversary Treat. What is a SHOE? It is Seven Heaven On Earth, seven things that make you happy today. So what is the homemaker’s SHOE today?

  1. Waking up in a clean house and I have to thank my helper for that! She is so cool!
  2. My rechargeable electric fan. It is small compare to other fans we have but that’s a good thing since we can place it anywhere, even on our side as we sleep.
  3. My Big Box decorated with Spongbob stickers!

  4. My Divisoria Treat for my Sofa, a new cover!
  5. Organizing my anik box.
  6. Waking up, seeing my anik corner clean and organized. Last night I was nagging like hell because of it.
  7. Napping on the floor and finally taking my back to rest. Yay!

I just noticed that two things that made me happy today was organized related. OCD attack again. I told you, I am a neat freak. I hope tomorrow I will wake up again in a nice clean house. Yay!

New Year At Home

It was  a tradition in my grandmothers house (I was my grandmother’s apprentice when it comes to house keeping, you will be hearing a lot of her here) is to spend New Year with all the lights on. I can’t remember the exact reason why but they say it can bring good luck. And I know you are looking for things that will help you in welcoming 2010 in the best and luckiest way.

Aside from jumping when the clock strikes twelve, my relatives used to throw out coins as a way of welcoming the new year. We, the kids, would enjoy picking them up. Then after that they would tell us to hunt down coins anywhere in the house. We would look around for coins and have fun doing so. They say that this can help you or will make your year full of money.

Another must do before the new year comes is to make sure that all the containers are full. The coffee container should have enough coffee. The jar with sugar should be filled. Even the rice dispenser should be over flowing with rice (of course). And there should be no dirty laundry (or minimal) on the laundry bin. I think it make sense a bit. Keeping your house organize at the start for the year is not an assurance that it will be organized the whole year but it is a good start.
