Yet Another Book
"Clever Household Tricks" by Patricia Woodrow
I don't think I have any followers but if you do read this blog - I do NOT recommend this book. Totally waste of Kindle space and good thing I got it for free. I have seen everything on either Pinterest or any other website and this author has simply put them in one book and declared it to be hers. Yes, you may not be aware of those, so it's helpful but still, it all has been seen already, so for those of us who look around for tips like that - for us, this book is useless. It is not a book anyway - a pamphlet maybe
Another Book
"Short Straw Bride" by Karen Witemeyer
A fun read with interesting characters and a great story line. If one has to get married and the potential grooms draw straws, well, what can you really expect? :) But it's a nice page turner. Romantic feelings, doing your duty, protecting what matters, dealing with narrow minded people. Like I said, fun :)

30-Day Housecleaning Clannenge: Day 30
Project #30
Today’s project is to clean all your electronics (computer, TV, iPad, iPod, smartphones, etc.)
Now that's more like it! Not a routine cleaning since most of us tend to forget to clean something unless there is a visible smudge on it. I wish I did have all those "i-somethings" but I'll clean my good ol' vinyl player :) We'll see.

Another Book
"Remembering Christmas: A Novel" by Dan Walsh - very lovely book and like all Dan Walsh's books - a page turner. It was a sweet story about trusting God with everything and never giving up. And book was filled with love and interesting relationships. A very good read.

30 Day Housecleaning Challenge: Day 25
Project #25
Today’s project is to surface clean or deep clean your kitchen and/or living room.
----
What did I do? Glad you asked. I cleaned out my children's sandbox :).
If you think it was one of those turtle or crab shaped plastic boxes sufficient for one toddler then you'd be wrong. We have a big one right under the swing set and the weeds have started growing through it and the sand is not sand there anymore - it's dirt and in my mind it's disgusting. So, I did what I could today - pulled weeds, raked pine needles, picked up broken toys etc. It was a ton of work and I am not done as far as preparing it for more sand.
I think a lot more of the old dirt needs to be removed in order to fill it with decent sand so hat when the kids dig with their spades and buckets that they won't hit the dirt very soon. So, there is work to be done but I think it was a nice start. Not very good for your back, though...
I really don't know why I'm following this challenge :D
