Morning Coffee: Making Money, Pantry Problems, & Trail Mix

March 19, 2022 · In: Saturday Morning Coffee Date

Happy Saturday! Grab a cup of coffee and snuggle up in your favorite seat of the house as we chat about all things home, life, and randomness.

When you were a kid, did you do jobs for your parents to earn money? I was totally that kid with the entrepreneur spirit. I’d clean the house, wash cars, [attempt to] fix broken things, and organize drawers and cabinets for cash. (No surprise on that one, right?) My grandparents own a farm and I’d go stay with them for a week or two in the summer and help build fences, do farm work, and clean around their house, too. I’d come home with a pocketful of cash, and I was always so proud of myself.

Luckily, my son has this same mentality. He’s on Spring Break this week, and as I’m typing this, he’s in the floor assembling a clothing rack for us to move my wardrobe to while we demo the primary closet. He will help demo and rebuild the closet, and he’s already assembled some patio furniture and done some pre-Spring Cleaning jobs earlier this week. He’s a man with money on his mind and nothing is slowing him down. Too bad Spring Break is only one week!

What’s On My Mind This Saturday Morning

We finished the pantry project early this week, and I have found a slight problem with the customized design I created. My junk food snacks are easier than ever to get to and I’ve been snacking all week long. This might become an issue…

I ordered another Modsy design package and plan on using it for our guest bedroom this summer. My goal is to have the guest room remodeled before July when my husband and I go on a work trip.

I got this sweet trail mix from Target and I ate the whole bag in an embarrassing amount of time. If you love peanut butter and chocolate, order it curbside right now.

If you are a shoes-off household, do you allow service providers to keep their shoes uncovered or do you ask them to put on shoe covers? I let my handyman work bare-shoed last week and I was quietly raging inside. It felt so icky after five years of being strictly no-shoes.

Speaking of the handyman, it rained last week so he had to cut all the wood in the garage. There was sawdust everywhere. This wet/dry vac got a workout during cleanup, and it handled it like a boss.

Have you tried this yet? I did not expect it to wo Have you tried this yet? I did not expect it to work this well the first time I did it but now I’ll never dust baseboards any other way.
It also works well on door panels, picture frame moulding, chair rails, and even gets those hairs off back of the toilet that tend to stick and slide around when cleaning. 🙌🏼

Do you have a command center in your house? If you Do you have a command center in your house? If you’ve been planning on adding one, here are three tips for customizing it so it works for you:
1. Add a calendar so the whole family is on the same page about what’s going on that month.
2. Decide what needs to be stored in your command center and add storage based on those needs. Don’t worry about what other people use or keep in their own command center because we all live different lives and need different things.
3. Don’t try to make your family change their habits. If they’re used to dropping keys on the counter, a hook may not work for them. Instead, give them a bowl or tray to drop keys in. And if they’re used to sticking reminders on the fridge, add a bulletin or magnet board so they can put them there. Work *with* your family’s habits, not against them.
See the full project and get more command center setup tips in my newest YouTube video. All the product sources I used here are saved in the description of that video too. 🙌🏼

Can I tell you a secret? I’ve never been a fan o Can I tell you a secret? I’ve never been a fan of doing yard work. The gas was stinky, the tools were loud, and the garage was a mess. But all that changed when I switched to @HARTtoolsUSA battery powered outdoor equipment.
Now I love the ritual of cranking up music in my earbuds, taking all the tools off the wall, and the instant satisfaction of the yard going from a chaotic mess to a well-manicured lot.
No joke, our neighbor who was using a gas powered mower actually apologized for the “noise” after hearing our 40V Supercharge Brushless Mower. 😅
Between the HART 40V Outdoor Power Equipment and the Garage Rail System, summer yard work has never been easier. Find them all online at walmart.com. I also saved all the info to a Story Highlight for you too!

Have you tried museum gel before? One of the most Have you tried museum gel before?
One of the most asked questions has the most simple answer. Museum gel comes in either sticker form like these dots I’m using or in a jar. It keeps things in place without permanently adhering them to a surface. Trays can be removed for washing then put right back in with the same piece of gel.
🛒 I saved my favorite types of museum gel to my Amazon Storefront, but you really can’t go wrong with any brand.
