New Year and Lots of Plans! WomenHelpingWomen

I hope all of you had a blessed Thanksgiving and Christmas and are having a lovely New Year. As for me, I have lots of plans for 2023 - especially for the readers of this blog. I have some ideas for a couple of small books that I want to write for you. And after I finish a current Upwork job, I will also be planning several new posts for this blog. God has been showing me these plans and ideas for a few months, so I hope you will find them to be endearing and helpful in your life. It will take 2-3 years to complete all the projects that I currently have planned, so I'm very happy you'll be along on this journey.

I call this plan my #WomenHelpingWomen mission. If at any time, you have questions or anything you want to add as I follow through with these plans (blog posts, creations, books), you can always leave a comment below or send me an email through the contact form on the right side of this page. I have no idea where the starting point will be, but I will start soon. I hope to have new posts starting no later than February 1, 2023.

As most of you know, my dream is to use my God-given talents, skills, and knowledge to help as many women as possible. That is what God's plans are for you, as readers and visitors of this blog. We all need to feel loved and special, and that's what I want to continue to provide here. And I thought today was a good day to unveil this to you. 😊

Be sure to sign up for the newsletter also at the top of the page. My plans also include getting at least 1 newsletter out to you each month as well. Thank you for dropping by today. I hope you'll drop by frequently for my new #WomenHelpingWomen mission.

Bounty Paper Towels Product Review

Today, I want to let you in on a little secret . I recently bought a new four-pack of Bounty paper towels - full sheets. I am not a select-a-size fan at all, for the record. Anyway, the newer package didn't look as thick as the last several packages I had bought over the last several years. I happened to have an older package in storage (and I actually noticed not long ago that the rolls seemed to be smaller in more recent packages, as well, based on the way they fit more loosely in my paper towel holder; not too long ago, they were very snug in my holder until I had used four or five paper towels), so I compared the two when I brought the newer package home. Lo and behold, I was correct. So, I think the decrease in sheets actually started happening gradually over the last year or so. But this time, the reduction was very noticeable. And I hope Bounty won't decrease the size anymore. As you can see in the pictures below, the older package of paper towels shows 58 sheets per r...

Easy Way to String Green Beans and Slow Cook Them

Before I accidentally discovered this amazing trick that I'm going to share with you this morning , I would get so frustrated trying to string green beans. More than half of the time, I either would not be able to pull the strings off at all or the string would break before I reached the other end of the bean. For a reason I can't remember, after washing the green beans, I did what I'm telling you below, and I was able to string my green beans with ease. It was amazing! Put green beans in a bowl of water. Place the bowl of green beans in the fridge overnight. The next day, the strings are easy to pull off the green beans. If you have plenty of green beans to string, you'll want to remove about a handful from the cold water at a time - and place the green beans remaining in the water back into the fridge so the beans won't get warm before you finish stringing them. In other words, the strings pull off better when they are colder. And the beans break better, too, if...

Finally a Few Nice Days in a Row

I've been waiting and waiting for spring temps to arrive for more than a couple of days without rain. And this is the week! We finally have some color in the yard and on our deck. So, I want to share what my husband, son, and I have been up to for the last few days. First of all, we had our first cookout on Sunday, April 28 to celebrate our younger son's birthday. That officially kicks off spring. I mixed the first batch of hummingbird nectar a couple of weeks ago, hoping the males would take advantage while the females were tending to their nests. As far as we can tell, 1 male has visited twice. Of course, we can't look out the window all of the time. But we do look out frequently. And we hang them in 2 locations that we can see directly from the kitchen windows. The rose bushes started blooming about a week ago, and I finally had time to take pictures of them. I pulled out the grass and weeds that were growing around them a couple of hours after I took the front-facing ...
