My First WFMW
Today it is Works For Me Wednesday hosted by Mrs. Shannon at Rocks In My Dryer
My WFMW Tip is a time saver! In our house, shoes take too long to put into each little bin in a shoe caddy. For a child, this is too difficult and time taking, and the shoes will most likely not make it into its place, triggering long hours of shoe finding when they are needed. Instead of caddies, my sister and I use a box to keep our shoes in. All we have to do is toss the shoe into the box, rather than having to place each individual shoe into the caddy. Not only is it easier for little ones, most adult sized shoes do not fit in a caddy, and it saves time!

Bathroom Remodeling...
Good Evening!
Welcome back to my new blog.
This week, we are remodeling our master bathroom. We have ripped out cabinets, the vanity, the bathtub.......and much more to get ready for this. So today, we began tiling the walls.
Here is the picture so far:
We are going to start laying down the cement board and tiling the floor tonight, So far, we have been making good progress! Please pray that we can continue with the progress! :)
Lately, we have been getting excited about The Jamestown 400 Treasure Hunt, hosted by Vision Forum.com. If you are looking for a exciting way to learn more about history, this is the way to do it! It's not too late to get started, but it will be soon!
I am off to pick up the house, and to finish Peanut Butter Balls. I will share the recipe for that tomorrow!
Until Tomorrow,
Courtney

Saturday....
Today has been a really busy day! We are planning on remodeling our bathroom over the next several weeks. Today, we bought the supplies and tomorrow, we are hopping to it! We will be tiling the floor, installing a new vanity, installing new cabinets, putting in a new bathtub, painting and tiling the walls, tiling the tub surround, and too many other things to count! Yikes!
Meanwhile......Lately, I have been studying in 1 Timothy. That is one power-packed book of wisdom right there! It seems that every verse has something to be gleaned from it! My favorite one so far is: 1st Timothy 4:12: "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity."
Young people nowadays should take to heart these verses! If they did, this world would be so much better!
I will post more later!
