A Valentine Wreath

Paper is an amazing tool! It comes in so many forms, colors, thicknesses, and you can cut it any way you like it. Here's a great way to create a little love in your home for Valentine's day.

This simple paper wreath was created over at "the hybrid chick". I think my door is calling for a little facelift this month.

[Appliances] Dishwasher Tune Up

Here's some great info I found over at "The Quick & the Hungry" blog by Cindy. If your dishwasher is in need of a little TLC, then this just might help you out.

Here's what Cindy had to say:

"Over the past 6 months my dishwasher has steadily stopped washing my dishes well. It started with the glass cups, leaving food on the inside, then got worse and worse until two weeks ago when nothing was coming out clean and was actually dirtier than when it when in. Then to top it off, it started leaking like crazy! Arg! This happened in our old home and we ended up selling our home with a brand new dishwasher.

Well, we just financed a fence for our new home and I did NOT want to tack on another $450 to our Home Depot credit card. So, what's a gal to do? Clean baby clean."
