Ham & Egg Breakfast Cups

bacon egg breakfastThese are very good and are actually very easy to make, and you can make several at a time. Use thick cut ham luncheon meat and place in non-stick sprayed cupcake pan.  Push the ham down into the cupcake well. Add scrambled egg and chives and cheese to taste (you can also add onion, bell pepper, peppers such as jalapeno). Bake at 350 for 5-7 minutes  or until you can push a fork into the egg and have it come out with no wetness. Serve immediately.

Log Slices For A Hardwood Floor

I am absolutely in love with these floors. They are so artistic and creative. I especially love the lower one on the right hand side because the slices overlap each other and it butts up to the rest of the floors seamlessly. Having a design element in a home that is both artistic and no where near a norm for a home is a complete conversation starter. I could also see this done in a backyard for a pathway or to use instead of decking/porch. I have always been inspired to love elements that are very natural and to see nature enter a home like this is great.

Banana Benefits – Who Knew?

I have always loved bananas and eat them regularly. My favorite has always been to slice them and place into a bowl, add orange juice to cover and add a little sugar. Tastes good and gives the body a boost off goodness to start the day off with. These good benefits for bananas just makes eating them that much sweeter. Breakfast is often overlooked and anyone can grab one of these and eat it on the way to work or school. What I like also about bananas is that they are fairly cheap and you can buy them at the beginning of your week with some ready to eat and some still green so you have enough to make your full week.

A Very Cool Sunburn Relief

With the temperatures soaring these days it is always to be better prepared for a family member to get a bad sunburn. I came across this idea and wanted to share it with you – frozen aloe vera. Now I will swear to the use of aloe vera on any burn but the thought of getting a sunburn, and then placing a frozen block of it  on a burn sounds like pure pleasure. Now I do not recommend using the large regular ice cubes, but rather use small sometimes decorative ice cube shapes like is pictured. This is not for the pleasure of looking at a shape but to not use too much aloe vera as it is expensive. When you are done filling your tray remember to keep your aloe vera bottle in the fridge.

Cleaning Home With Minimum Efforts By Guest Writer Cindy Davis

Cleaning home with minimum effortsOne of the hardest and most time-consuming house tasks is cleaning. However, it’s also one of the most essential house chores. The more regular our cleanups are, the better your home will look. And a clean home is a healthy and functional one. One of the reasons why people postpone cleaning is the lack of time and energy for it. Here are ten useful tips that will ensure a sparkling clean house with minimum effort which wouldn’t take all of your free time.

Create a house cleaning schedule: The first rule and the best one is simply having a checklist of tasks and a clear schedule. Only one member of the family shouldn’t clean the whole house. Everyone can do a little something for the house every other day.

Examine each room before you start: Make sure you know which the hidden spots in each room are. These will be the trouble spots that require the most attention. Always start with cleaning these and proceed with the easier areas.Cleaning home with minimum efforts2

Keep cleaning supplies together: It’s a great way to save time and energy. Store your cleaning detergents and tools in a bucket that you can carry with you around the house.

Use more natural cleaning products: Whenever you feel that all you do is run to the shop for cleaning supplies and spend a lot of money on them, try to find green recipes that you can use at home. Products such as vinegar and baking soda do wonders for multiple surfaces, types of stains and problematic areas.

Declutter your home: You cannot clean effectively if your home is messy all the time. The first step to a cleaner home is simply taking the time to remove all the clutter. This should be done on a regular basis – pick a day of the week or a time of the day dedicated to tidying up the house. All of these items that lie around are the ones attracting dust like magnets.

Listen to upbeat music while cleaning: Play some lively music and you will immediately notice a change in your mood and attitude. It will help time pass quicker and you will certainly enjoy yourself more.

Don’t get distracted: One of the things that sabotage cleaning is getting distracted by the TV, the phone, the computer and the people around you. Don’t stop until you’ve finished with everything planned. Focus and you will manage much quicker than usual.

Include the family: Make sure each member of the family is responsible for the mess they create and takes an active part in the cleaning schedule.

Hire professionals: Some areas at home are harder to clean and require proper techniques and tools. Hire professionals for the carpets, upholstery, curtains, garage and basement.

Utilize these useful cleaning tips and you will see that this chore doesn’t have to be a burden.
