Dedication Increased!

There are many things that I have been planning on discussing within my blogs, and I have come to the realization that it takes serious discipline to get things done. In an effort to be more available to my readers I will be working on increasing my dedication to my blog and readers. 

To achieve this I will be blogging as much as possible. I am not limiting amounts of post per day, topics anything! If you have suggestions they are welcome and invited. I am also not promising anything either. I work full time and am struggling to make this my full time job, so balance is key. Over the next couple months will be a learning experience as to how I can balance this increase dedication with my everyday life.

I would also like to announce a Call to Action! If you have a blog, or like to write I would love to have you as a quest blogger on A. Nieman Design. Please email me if you are interested in sharing your talents.

Also for those of you that want to be included in my Blogs to Visit section email me as well! I would love to add more blogs to my list!

Thanks for your time and Come visit me again!

Have a Nice Day!

Getting a Head Start on the New Year

Now is the perfect time to get started on the new year. It is time to start the "Winter Spring Cleaning" as I like to call it.

The Holidays are close to over and the only party left starts the new year. So why not take advantage of the positive mind power in the air and apply it to your home.

So what is "Winter Spring Cleaning"? It can be as simple as just cleaning up the house to make it feel more a peace. Re-organizing christmas decorations into bins, moving around you accessories in your home, or switching out the towels in the bathroom can just be a few changes you need to make to rejuvenate your home.

The Winter can be a hard time to tackle large projects, but you will be amazed on how big of a change little moves can make in your home. Start with a plan. January has 4 weeks to it. Each week plan out one activity that you want to do in your home. By the end of January you will have a new home(well almost new).

The feeling you get when you have accomplished these tasks and experience a new feeling in you home can greatly affect you mood. Get out of the winter depression and make your home aid you to a happy winter season.

Suggestions of Activities to Tackle This January:

Reorganize Holiday Decorations
Move accessories around, table to table or room to room
Clean out the coat closet
Reorganize the Kitchen cabinets
Move your art work
Try a different lighting plan

Coupon Book Savings!

I meant to start tracking my savings with my new coupon book at the beginning of the year but January fell by the wayside. It is now February and I have finished my first shopping trip and have decided to start tracking from today on!

Today I went to Giant Eagle, spent $94.44, saved $9.46 with weekly specials and $9.50 with coupons. So today I save a total of $18.96.  Not as good as some seasoned pro coupon savers but $18.96 is a couple of lunches or a new shirt or one of my credit card payments!
