More Spring cleaning! I tackled my Laundry Room today, Yikes! One more thing to check off my list of To Do's. (Of course, this room needs an overhaul on a regular basis since my dogs' kennels are kept in there)

Today I took advantage of clearance sales at Target! Yeah me! 50% off! So I picked up a new table, chairs, and bench. Now that is Saving Green!

This spring-like weather has inspired me to do a little spring cleaning. I usually mop my oak floors three or four times a year (and spot clean in-between). The guy that installed the floor told me to only do it 2 times or less a year but I can't get by on that. Sweeping only gets you so far.... I am glad to only do it 4 times a year because it is such a huge job. Moving all the furniture and rugs, sweeping, and mopping takes over half of my day. (three rooms, entry and hallway) But, it looks and smells so nice for a day at least!

I have been experimenting with the recipes from the Biggest Loser Family Cookbook and came up with my own variation of a healthy version of a taco/nacho meal. It is kind of fondue style since you just put the pan in the middle of the table and give everyone a spoon to serve the mixture into their 'scoops' tortilla chips. My family loved it and it was so fun! The pictured mixture is missing the black beans, only because I didn't have any on hand but they are a must because they add so many vital nutrients!

It's a new year! Time to clean out old files and get that work area into tip top shape. So, yesterday and the day before I spent the afternoon cleaning out ALL of our files through-out the house. Here is the photo of my clean desk! (please disregard all of the unsightly cords)
