Simpler Life Blogs?

I want to come back and check out these 100 blogs when I have more time.

Recycled Crayons..

I definitely want to make these Recycled Crayons sometime. =o)

Home Made Dryer Sheets?

I have a bunch of ones at home right now... but I find these Home made dryer sheets interesting!

Minimalist?

I'm not sure it's even possible.. but I'm hoping to be more inspired by Minimalist posts like this one. I have no intention of getting THAT lean with my clothing... but I could definitely use some purging. Our house is overrun with clutter right now... and I can't really blame it on Avery or Randy.. it's mostly me.

ETA: Well I put inspiration to action. I didn't do anything with my main closet as Avery & Randy are sleeping.. but I went through all the clothes I had stored in the spare bedroom... I have 1 small tupperware container that I've alotted stuff I can keep .. (mostly my absolute favorite clothes for Avery when she gets older). I have one other small tupperware container that i've alotted for clothes for crafts (turn into clothes for Avery). Outside of that I have one huge blue container full, and one larger (okay extra large) box filled with clothes to get rid of. I also already had a backpack filled with shoes that no longer fit since I had Avery. Earlier this week I had went through my book shelves in the spare room and have 2 large boxes of those (possibly to use some for trade?) ... now if I can only convince Randy to get rid of the bed & night stand in that room that we never use, I can actually have a working craft room. :D

ETA2: Picture update! None of these pictures are the most interesting.. but it will give you an idea of what I've cleaned out so far. When we go to have the yardsale, I'll figure out total numbers.. but wayyyy more than I need!

Paperback Swap!

Remember when I blogged about Books Free? Well now I found something even better! The Paperback Swap website!

I can't wait to get started. Just the other night I went through one of my bookshelves and picked out a pile of books to get rid of. This should be fun! =o)

A few Flickr things..

I love to look and dream about Craft Rooms like these!

Wow! A whole group devoted to Ikea Shelves!

400 free pics!

I need to sign up at Arts Cow and get 400 free picture prints! Also.. their regular prices are the best I've seen, and are guaranteed until the end of 2010! =o)

ETA: I'm not sure about their shipping prices though. They seem a bit high.

Books for Avery..

These Begin Smart Books blogged about at 5 minutes for books look fantastic!

Veggie Burgers & Hungry Girls..

I've never had a Veggie Burger... but I think I'd like to try This One! (Also a reminder for me to return and check out the Cooking on a Budget Section.)

I also really like this Hungry Girl Website. It shows tips and tricks on how to make recipes better for you & even gives the weight watcher points value for them. Here is the example of an alternative to a Blizzard from DQ.

Two Great Mama Safety Links...

One of the best resources for anyone Pregnant, Breast Feeding, or Trying to Conceive as far as medications go is Safe Fetus. My mom is a nurse, and even she was impressed by their comprehensive look at different drugs effects. To give you an idea how this works.. here is what it has to say about Advil. I love how it breaks it down into different categories... "B" for 1st & 2nd trimester of pregnancy.. "D" for third Trimester, Also telling you what the fetal risk is when used, and then whether or not it passes into breast milk. I turned to this website many times, and have referred other Mama's to it as well.

A good website for child safety, recalls, and general health and wellbeing is Safe Mama. (I'm especially interested right now in coming back and reading her articles on Sunscreen and Bug Repellents.)
