I am on a mission to help them! :)

Consider this: one family deciding to convert to our non-toxic biodegradable household cleaners keeps the equivalent of 5,000 bottles of conventional "ready-to-use" glass cleaner out of landfills. What would it mean if 50,000 families did the same? A great big thanks from the planet, and from people all over the world who share this wonderful home we call Earth.

This week is Organizing Your Bill-Paying System!

 

2011 03 09_2921

 

There are a lot of different ways to pay your bills! 

Some people have paper everywhere and hope they paid everything on time and others have a system that works for them.

Having a system, even a simple one, can make your bill paying a lot smoother!

2011 03 09_2922 

GOALS FOR THIS WEEK!

Set a Pay Billing Schedule!

You should pick a day that you pay your bills whether weekly or bi-weekly AND PUT IT IN YOUR PLANNER!!!  This is important and you don’t want to forget to pay a bill, especially a mortgage payment.  We have a system that works for us.  My husband brings in the mail and I sort it.  I immediately THROW out ALL junk mail.   Then, I place all the incoming mail in a file and the bills in another file.  I pay most of our bills and I actually really like paying them the day we get them.  I know, that is not a real schedule, I will try to pick one day for that!  But we do schedule our mortgage and credit card bills.  My husband is in charge of those biggies.  My husband gets paid bi-weekly and he pays our mortgage after one check and the credit card bill after the other.  That way, we make sure the big one are taken care of!  Our system in a team effort, ha!  This works for us.

2011 03 14_3051 

I showed you HERE, how I file my mail.  I keep my mail “file” box right in my kitchen, where I pay my bills.

 

2011 03 14_3066

Set up a bill paying section.

Get all your stamps, envelopes, calculator, address labels, etc together.  I have a drawer in my kitchen where I keep all my stuff together.  But, besides my magazine subscription bills, I can’t remember the last time I sent a check in the mail.  I told you all last week that we do everything online.  I LOVE paying bills online!!!  It saves me time because I don’t have to fill out a check and envelope  (not that it’s hard, it is just one more thing!).  It saves my money because I am not buying envelopes and stamps.   Also, I can trust that my check will not get lost in the mail.  I can also see how much money is in the account.

Write paid.

After you pay your bills, write paid on it!  You don’t want to double pay a bill! To make it easier to pay bills, try to only have one credit card!  The less bills to pay the easier!!

image

Record your bill.

It is good to keep track of all your expense, so record what you just paid.  This is also a great time to check your balance!

image

 File.

To keep things organized, FILE your bill after you pay it!  Keep a file for all paid bills.

I keep my paid bills in a file cabinet.  This makes it easy to file and find later if I need to look at it again.

"Cinch is very easy! The weekly measuring keeps me motivated, and I am still going strong! On my journey to attain my pre-cancer weight, I have found myself again." Nancy says.

Here is Nancy, 53 pounds healthier*

In June 2006, Nancy was diagnosed with cancer—stage four malignant metastatic melanoma. Treatments for the cancer were successful but left her with some extra pounds. As grateful as she was to be healthy again, Nancy wanted to get her old shape back, too.


“Over the next three years,” Nancy says, “I tried several popular diets. Nothing worked for me; I even gained weight on one plan. My thyroid was checked in case the cancer treatment had changed its function, but it was normal. I thought I would just have to learn to accept being overweight.”

Nancy was familiar with Shaklee because her father has been taking Shaklee vitamins for 40 years. And she recalls that “learning about the Cinch Inch Loss Plan seemed like an answer to my prayers! I needed to find ‘me’ again.”

At 200 pounds, Nancy started the Cinch program. She followed the plan diligently, tweaking it a bit to make it fit her schedule: a shake for breakfast, half of a Meal-in-a-Bar for lunch, and a sensible dinner—plus a 3-in-1 Boost tablet with each meal and Cinch Energy Tea Mix each afternoon. Now she is 53 pounds lighter.


“I went from size 16 to size 10 and lost 29½ total inches,” she says.

 

“Cinch is very easy! The weekly measuring keeps me motivated, and I am still going strong! On my journey to attain my pre-cancer weight, I have found myself again. Thank you, Cinch, and thank you to the Shaklee Distributor who took time to come talk to me. I FEEL GREAT!”

*Results not typical. In a preliminary clinical study of the Cinch Inch loss Plan, participants on average lost 15.4 pounds in 12 weeks.

Setting up the table

I’m setting up the table...

To create a somewhat romantic country atmosphere, I’m using my new country style iron pot holder as a centerpiece...


I love this little piece... it is in perfect condition, the wide-mouthed glass jars are the perfect size, and it only cost me $3.00! I can use it to hold kitchen utensils and napkins, but also flowers... Roses from the garden would look extra dreamy in these containers...

Tea is ready, and I have made a scrumpdelicious chocolate cake to go with it; topped with my ever favorite cream cheese frosting...

You see, the weather around here calls for baking. So that’s what I’ve been doing. Is spring at your doorsteps yet? Not here! I have a little grudge with Ms. Spring this year, yes I do! She’s been playing a little game with me... hide and seek hide and seek, and I’m starting to feel exhausted! Yes, it's still cold and it’s been raining and raining and then the sun comes out for a little bit—just a little bit to tease me, and here I am getting all excited for warmer weather... I see the first budding blossoms of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths and think: “It must be spring”! And so I go running to my shabby winter garden... but what a fool I am! The minute I wander outside, the craziest of winds starts to blow... or the coldest of rain would fall, and I have to run back indoors. There’s so much to do out there... so much! And sometimes you just have to brave the weather and do the job the best you can.

I know... spring cleaning can wait a little longer, right? But I’m extra eager and extra energized with thoughts of bringing the garden back to its formal orderly estate. And so, it’s been quiet a nightmare working in the garden these past few weeks.... phew! I’m convinced that my neighbors must think I’m absolutely cuckoo. But what can I do!


I’m joining these ladies for tea today: Tea Time Tuesday, Tea Time Tuesday, Teapot and Tea Things Tuesday, Table Top Tuesday, Martha's Favorites, A Return to Loveliness.

Show Off Your Cottage Monday

Sunday, March 27, 2011
Welcome to "SHOW OFF YOUR COTTAGE MONDAY", a blog party I host at the beginning of each week to celebrate the things we love about our homes and how we live.

The House in the Roses

I’m ready for spring.... are you not? Well, spring is usually a little slow in coming here. Our mountains are still encased in snow, and it looks as if all the crazy winds of the world have decided to make our valley their home.... swish swoosh they sing and dance and destroy things too! ;) So while my unfaltering daffodils, sweet woodruff, spirea and every other bulb and shrubs in the garden spring into action, I’m turning my attention to sweeter things... like decorating my home. Do you remember my new chair here?


Well, she is now sitting pretty by my window all dressed up in Valspar Antique White! Doesn’t she look lovely!

Oh oh and welcome to my "early signs of spring"—my new flowery tablecloth! I love the colors and flowers on this tablecloth... it reminds me of the first little flowerings of spring. I just had to show it to ye all! ;)

What are you celebrating today? Please take us to your cottage and share your blessings... You’re welcome to link, but please make sure you link back to the house in the roses!
