Help For Hopeless Domestic Diva's

Just found a great site called Ruffles and Stuff that is full of simple projects a hopeless Domestic Goddess like myself can master. You know my motto: "fake it until you make it."

Some women seem to be filled with so much creativity they can throw a house together at lightening speed. Not me. I've lived in my home for years and it looks just as incomplete as the day I walked in. So.....

Mommy needs a little help. I spend a considerable amount of my online time reading home decor and craft blogs to help me create my ideal space. The thing is......I'm cheap. Er...I mean frugal. So any savings or shortcut I find is helpful.

Since I'm doing a mini-makeover for my 16 year old I may try this pleated lampshade tutorial. If only I could find a way to make a complimentary slipcover for her headboard.

  1. I would suggest you not to follow the short cuts as they can also lead to disaster but instead of that keep searching on the net until you find something very good.

  6. But if you don't want to have wine, the only option that is left for them is resveratrol supplements. Yes, grape juice will have resveratrol but in very small amounts. Thus you must first research about what resveratrol health supplements are of good quality and then buy one. Now, let us understand some of the benefits of resveratrol. Well, the reason is that resveratrol is enriched with antioxidants and other vital nutrients. This will impart a good immunity, better health, better memory and also your youthful zest. Yes, resveratrol can actually reverse the ageing process.

  7. I had also been suffering from fibromyalgia (or so the doctors told me), and I had always noticed that whenever I did anything to support and cleanse my liver, I felt better. Liver health, being one important element of Gittleman’s Fat Flush Plan. So, for the first time in my life, I embarked on a ‘diet’ and was amazed by the results. Not only did I lose weight, but nearly all the fibromyalgia symptoms disappeared.

  9. Peter manages to convince Sylar to give him his power--which involves watch repair. Don't ask--I have no idea. But with that power, comes what Sylar terms "the hunger. "You have it now. I'm so sorry." Sylar tells Peter. Right after that, the hit squad shows up to kill present Peter. In the scuffle, Knox kills Sylar's son and Sylar, in his grief, goes radioactive killing 200,000 people.

  10. It is seventh day of Navaratri and today is Saraswathi Pooja. Mysore is all glittering with lights in the evening and Devaraja Market is full of Shevathige Hoovu, Chendu hoovu, Mallige, Kanakambara, and loads of varieties of fruits. Temple bells start tinkling from as early as 5AM in the morning and women need no alarm if they are located somewhere nearby the temple. Melodious suprabhata is enough to wake up them up and also rest of them who are busy snoring... I miss Mysore......

Sometimes I don’t check my bank account and let it get away from me and then I have funds kicked in from overdraft. Ugh. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse.

I said I was fine and asked about my daughter.

  30. I’ll be honest: I genuinely didn’t understand about 50% of what Sarah Palin said. She pretty overtly didn’t even pretend to address a lot of Ifill’s questions — probably because she couldn’t — and a lot of her filibustering ended up sounding like random strings of phrases from the Hockey-Mom-o-Bot 3000. This was especially true as time wore on.

  32. Water-based paints tend to produce far lower VOC emissions than solvent-based paints due to their low VOC content. However, drying water-based paint consumes much more energy because the water must be evaporated through a baking process. The large amounts of carbon dioxide produced during this process have long been an issue associated with water-based paint systems. Mazda has solved this problem with the introduction of this new, innovative coating technology.

  33. The Aqua-tech Paint System maintains the same world-class low CO2 emissions volume as the Three Layer Wet Paint System — Mazda’s paint system currently installed at all of its production facilities in Japan — and reduces VOC emissions by a further 57 percent. At only 15 grams per square meter of vehicle body surface, the extremely low VOC emissions volume makes Aqua-tech the least polluting water-based paint system in the world. The new system also delivers improved paint quality.

It may not have all the features of Photoshop as Gimpshop is based on the Gimp feature set.

  45. Gold-mining is an expensive endeavor at any time, but when the price of the materials and utilities employed in gold mining rises, then so does the price of mining gold. Right now, the price of the materials and utilities that are used in gold mining have made gold mining even more expensive than it has been in the past. Gold mining uses heavy equipment and chemicals both to unearth ore and to extract gold from the ore. As inflation has affected the prices of this equipment and the chemicals used, the price of gold mining has increased, as well.

  48. Man, I'm so happy I don't have to wear glasses or contact lenses any more. It's such a lovely experience to be able to wake up, see the clock, see my room and not think about putting anything on or in my eyes. Then, I can just go to sleep when I want without even thinking about any sort of "ritual". Whether it be having to remove lenses from my eyes and be ever so careful not to destroy/lose them, or just making sure I remembered to take off my glasses and put them in their safe little case.
