12/16/14 Update: Using the random name picker at classtools.net, I’ve identified the winner: Tammy Robinson. Congratulations, Tammy! Thanks to everyone for leaving feedback.
My favorite post is your #1 of your top 10. I have tried many cleaning schedules and routines from all kinds of sources but your idea just clicked. It allowed me to make an easy and doable plan that I could consistently maintain.
Hi Karen,
I’m so glad this has helped you! It’s the only thing that has worked for me, too. 🙂
I like the recipes and would like to see these continue to get shared.
I’m not as interested in the posts related to babies because my boys are in their teens (I understand why you post these, because this is your stage of life).
There will definitely be more recipes, Rosie. I totally understand about the baby-related posts.
I enjoy your recipes (I’m a cookbook fanatic) and also your organizational skills.
Hi Debi,
I’m glad you like the recipes. I’m always trying something new, so I always have a new one to share!
I like the recipes and cleaning tips too but would be great if maybe you blogged on some healthy alternative tips too. Supplements can be sketchy and I prefer to use more diet/nutrition than medications.
Great idea, Tammy. I prefer to avoid medications whenever possible, too, so this is something I’ll keep in mind as I write and do research for upcoming posts.
I additionally liked the post on a packing organizer which i use to pack alleviating the far off forgetting something important. I really enjoy posts on relationships.
I use that printable frequently!
I’ll take note that you like the relationships posts.
I enjoy so many of the posts. I like the variety of topics.
Hi Sharon,
I do try to cover numerous topics. I’m glad you enjoy so many of them!
I like your cleaning schedule. This is the only one I have found that really works for me. I personally like anything to do with cleaning and organizing.
I’m glad the cleaning schedule has benefited you, Tammy. I find my household runs smoothly when things are clean and organized, so I imagine I’ll write many more posts about these topics! 🙂
I loved the sun dried tomato vinaigrette recipe post. I always like trying new salad dressings.
I would like to see more vegetarian recipes, because I’m a vegetarian 🙂
I’m not as interested in meat containing recipes, but it is still fun to get ideas that I can adapt.
That makes sense. 🙂 I do include meatless entrees on each menu, so this is something I can do.
