Save the Dolphins....

And Pelicans, and other birds and sea creatures.

I found this project to help with the clean up of some of the oil spill in the Gulf Coast.

I've never been a tree-hugging hippy, never even claimed to be, but this to me really hits home. So much has been done in the last couple of years to help out other countries and so far very little has been done to help out in our own back yard.

I started knitting wash cloths and towels for donation. So if you're interested in helping out please check out the Craft Hope website or their Facebook Page.

So we're not candidates for the next episode of hoarders.

HaHa only kidding, but someitmes housework gets a little out of control. As usual this was something that came up because I was reading The Nest and thinking I need to come up with a chore schedule. It gets crazy doing an hour or two on the weekend, but if I did 15/20 minutes of cleaning every day it really wouldn't be so bad. So here's my list.
