Pantry and Laundry Organization

I have one project I want to do before this month ends: Organize my pantry and laundry room. Most of this project will involve glass jars and products from Ikea. I need to keep it in mind so I actually do it. Pantry Organization as seen on My Sweet Savannah and Country Living  I love the jar labels and how she put her vinegar and oils in the bottles. I can't wait to have it all done.

    Type

    Sarah and Annette recently posted about the What is Your Type? I was curious and so I took the quiz.

    I am....Rational, Understated, Traditional, Disciplined. My type is Perpetua Titling Light. It IS me! I love it. Classic and clean.

    Get Your Martha On...shout out

    I love the blog Get Your Martha On. She is very talented and witty. I find myself giggling while reading her blog posts. I adore her most recent post. She has created a mantel based on a picture she saw in Pottery Barn. I think I may be emulating this one for spring. I love the silver and white candles, vintage books and a bird's nest offering a hint of spring. Perfect!



    She even shows you how to make large glass pillar candle holders inexpensively. It makes me happy.

    the pottery barn

    I always love Pottery Barn, but I like it even more when I see something that I think I can make for significantly cheaper. So many things that make my heart flutter....

    Spicy Sweet Pork


    Yesterday, I made some pork the hubby LOVED. I just added a bit of this, a bit of that. The pork turned out delicious. It was sweet but had a kick to it. This is a keeper.
    • 1 1/2 - 2 lb pork loin roast
    • 1 c. apple juice
    • 1/2 c. Worcestershire sauce
    • 2 tsp fresh ground pepper
    • 1 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1 tsp garlic paste (found in produce section)
    • 1 T fresh parsley finely chopped
    • 1 medium sweet yellow onion sliced
    Place pork loin in crock pot. Cover the pork loin with sliced onions. Mix the remain ingredients together in a separate bowl. Pour over the pork loin roast. Roast in crock pot for 3-4 hours on high or 6-7 hours on low. Shred or slice pork.
