Check this out on our Partner Network Make It and Love It Kensho How To Clean Your House in 20 Minutes a Day for 30 Days | Apartment Therapy Chicago When I first learned to clean my own place, I thought Saturday had to be an all day clean-a-thon. I didn't really have a concept of how to balance the work load during the week so weekends could be reserved for larger projects or even you know…fun! Now I clean in 20 minutes a day — every day — and things just seem to take care of themselves. No one said you had to do everything at once and even when time seems short, if you can manage one task a day, things should start to work themselves out. 1) Dealing With What Comes Through The Door Set up a small area by the front door to act as a "landing strip" for incoming items to your home. 2) Do Your Dishes After Every Meal This will help you stay on top of your kitchen instead of having it turn into a monster! 3) Laundry If you have a washer and dryer at home, do a little bit each day. 5) Set a Timer Most items on the list below should take no more than 20 minutes total. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19.
Mini crochet baskets Hi again! The project I am sharing today is a small one, mini crochet baskets. They are so quick to make and use up little bits of twine and string. One of my favorite places to buy yarn is Habu Textiles. These are small baskets that could be used to store stationery items, paperclips, coins, buttons, etc. CLICK HERE for the full project after the jump! Crochet pattern Note: This pattern can be worked either crocheting through the back loop of each single crochet or the entire stitch, I did both and each gives a different look. Chain 4 and slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring. Round 1: Make 8 single crochets (sc) into the ring, mark the first stitch of the next round with a removable marker. Round 2: Make 2 sc into each stitch to end of round. Round 3: *1 sc into next stitch, 2 sc into next stitch, repeat from * to end of round. Round 4: *1 sc into next 2 stitches, 2 sc into next stitch, repeat from * to end of round.

Tiny Polaroid Magnets | { Ambrosia Girl } Hi there! It’s felt like forever since I’ve last blogged, and has felt like an eternity since I’ve done anything crafty and nifty. Since my morning sickness has gone into full speed (yes, we’re expecting our third this fall!) I came across these DIY Pantone chip magnets on How About Orange and wanted to do something similar. You will need: Cardboard (mine was the backing of a sketchbook — much thicker than the back of a regular spiral bound notebook) or 2-3 sheets of white cardstock or poster board spray-mounted together to use as a sturdy backing to the magnetsOpaque white marker (necessary only if your cardboard is not white) Craft knife Metal straight edge/ruler Clear packing tape or frisk film. Step 1: Download a Photoshop file of the Polaroid frames below. Step 2: Print out photos onto photo paper. Step 3: Spray the back of your sheet of photos and also the cardboard with spray mount. Step 4: Trim out photos with craft knife. 487 Comments
marble magnets I finally gave in and made marble magnets. Not surprisingly they are quite fun, smooshing the glue out to make a perfect little magnified image is very satisfying. Here, in order of appearance, are the places I referenced: paper candy instructions with pictures (this is the first place I saw this project) dogmestic with instructions and pictures photogeek pictures ugly green chair cute ladybug magnets – pictures with packaging threads at Glitter:onetwothree I bought all of these supplies at Michael’s, including the glue I went back for since I got the wrong kind to start with. These are great packaged in those Altoid-sized tins, I’ve seen them in office/gift shops like that. My Faith: Why I don't sing the 'Star Spangled Banner' Editor's Note: Mark Schloneger is pastor of Springdale Mennonite Church in Waynesboro, Virginia. By Mark Schloneger, Special to CNN I choose to belong to a strange tribe. Goshen College, my alma mater, made national news this month when its board of directors decided that the “Star Spangled Banner” would not be played before athletic events. As could be expected, the decision was met with confusion and contempt. Wasn’t this just another example of our traditional values being trampled by the unrelenting march of political correctness? The decision not to play the national anthem reversed last year’s decision to play it for the first time in Goshen College’s 116-year history. It also caused widespread concern and confusion among the college’s students, professors, alumni, supporters and, yes, donors - many of whom felt like playing the anthem compromised the college’s Christian values. Mennonites live in countries all over the world.
Pomodoro Technique From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Time management method The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s.[1] It uses a kitchen timer to break work into intervals, typically 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a pomodoro, from the Italian word for tomato, after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used as a university student.[2][1] Apps and websites providing timers and instructions have widely popularized the technique. Description[edit] The original technique has six steps: Decide on the task to be done.Set the Pomodoro timer (typically for 25 minutes).[1]Work on the task.End work when the timer rings and take a short break (typically 5–10 minutes).[4]Go back to Step 2 and repeat until you complete four pomodoros.After four pomodoros are done, take a long break (typically 20 to 30 minutes) instead of a short break. For the purposes of the technique, a pomodoro is an interval of work time.[1]
50 Ways to Be More Humble SuccessJanuary 31st, 2011 Lists I’ve found are a great way to explore a topic, generate some interest in a subject and provide enough variety that it is not only quick to read, but quick to relate to many aspects. All this while hopefully adding some value to what is read in new ideas, unheard suggestions or simply by giving reminders of what might be known dead inside you already. This was my most difficult list I’ve made after admiring sproutwatches.com and while I was hoping to make a list of 100 ways to be more humble, I really struggled coming up with unique ideas that didn’t have too much overlap and were not just a large list of different words or minor actions to be more humble. Please have a look at my short series from 2 years ago on being humble in the article pages here or from the free PDF download in my resources area, called, Being Humble. Artwork by Adam Stone
