  Living in Florida is not for the faint at heart when it comes to heat and humidity. It's only July and we have already hit triple digit temperatures and have had heat warnings issued. The fact that our first heat warning of the year came on a day when we hit 110 degrees tells you just how hot it gets. We had already been in the triple digits for several days but didn't get a warning until we hit 110 degrees.  So just how do you beat the heat when you don't have air conditioning? Over the years I have learned a few tips and tricks to keep cool.  Before we jump into how to keep cool, let's go over some symptoms to watch out for when the temperatures rise. Heat Illness is extremely dangerous and can happen to anyone. Signs and Symptoms of Heat Strokes and Heat Exhaustion  Heat Stroke Symptoms  High Body Temperature 103 degrees or higher  Hot, red, dry, damp skin  Fast, strong pulse  Headache  Dizziness  Nausea  Confusion  Passin...

  Have you ever visited a friend or family member at their house and wondered how their house is so clean? Today I will be sharing some quick and easy tips you can do everyday that will make you one of those people that you envy. Quick Tips Don't worry, the tips I'm about to share with you will not require you to spend hours cleaning everyday, you will only need a few minutes throughout the day to accomplish this.

Tip Three Wipe down bathroom counters in the morning Tip Four Wipe down kitchen counters and kitchen tables every time you use the kitchen. Tip Five Wash, Dry, and put away dishes every time you use them. This keeps them from piling up and ma...

Good morning and welcome back to the blog. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Some of you have been asking what exactly it is I do on the weekends so I decided to do a blog post about. You might be surprised to learn that I don't actually do any content creation on the weekends. I am a firm believer in rest and relaxation. Of course I do some house cleaning on the weekends but I don't spend a lot of time cleaning. Okay, you asked so get ready for my weekend routine!

Morning routines are extremely important, they set the mood and the pace for our day. Although some days are better than others there are things you can do every morning to be productive. I have seven things I do every morning before I even attempt to start my day. The most important thing to remember is to not put too much pressure on yourself. Start your day at a slow and steady pace and you will have a much smoother day. Make Bed The first thing I do every morning is to make the bed as soon as I get up. This is non-negotiable. I love the fact that I accomplish something as soon as I wake up. I actually blame my mom for this one. My brother and I were not allowed to leave our rooms as kids until our beds were made. It worked, it's still the first thing I do every day. Coffee and Breakfast My brain will not work without coffee. Lots of coffee! I drink my coffee and eat breakfast which typically consists of a bowl of grits or a waffle with peanut butter. Bible Study and Prayer Time...
