Little Jack’s Corner

 Welcome to this week’s Works for Me Wednesday here at Little Jack’s Corner!
Ok, I’ve been making sweet tea the same way - like my mom - for years now.  The process from start to finish isn’t that long, maybe an hour from bag to fridge, but for a lazy cook like myself I wanted to find [...]

For this week’s Works for Me Wednesday (hosted by Rocks in My Dryer), I have a pretty short, easy tip. 
You know how those little bedside tables look cluttered with just a hefty radio clock and a lamp?  Sometimes there’s no room left for even a cup of water or some books!  I solved that problem with a simple [...]

…ok, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I had to think of some catchy title for this week’s Works for Me Wednesday (hosted by Rocks in My Dryer).
You know how annoying it is to spend hours many minutes typing out a very thought provoking blog comment, post, thread reply, message board post, or some [...]

It’s time for Works for Me Wednesday again!
As I sit here looking around my house, here are some things that I know we couldn’t do without. They’re all of the daily life objects that…well…work for me!
For Your Lips

Blistex - I will absolutely NOT use any other brand on my lips.  My lips get extremely, horribly, [...]

Daggum. 
It’s midnight and I just thought about the fact that it’s already Wednesday….which means I have nothing prepared for this week’s tip on “Works for Me” Wednesday (hosted by Rocks in My Dryer).
But have no fear!  My creative mind has come up with a stroke of genius.
I’ll just send you off to a review I [...]

Welcome to this week’s Works for Me Wednesday tip at Little Jack’s Corner! 
I grew up with small closets… you know, the kind that is about 6 feet wide, 2 feet deep, with one lonely bar hanging about 3/4ths of the way up?
I hated them then, and I still hate them now.  Once upon a time, I [...]

I’ve always had a problem with “remembering” to eat leftovers. 
You know, after dinner you plop them in the fridge, say to your husband “Don’t forget that’s in there!” and then happily wade through the next 2 weeks until the rotten smell from decomposted leftovers knocks you over as you open the fridge door.
So, I’ve come up [...]

I have been sooo off this week!  For one, I thought yesterday morning I had missed this week’s Works for Me Wednesday so I didn’t plan on doing one.  Then last night I spent 30 minutes getting our garbage ready for collection.  And to think, I was so proud of myself for “remembering”!
The bad thing is - [...]

For this week’s Works for Me Wednesday, I’m going to let you in on a little secret.
Promise not to tell?
Ok.  Here it is…
I HATE IRONING!!!
(Shhhhhhhhhh)
Maybe I’m just lazy.  I dunno.  But getting out an ironing board, waiting for a metal iron to heat up, getting frustrated about water stains, trying to figure out the right [...]

As many of you know, I was laid off from my job of 4 years back in October when I was 2 months pregnant.  Although we’d always planned on me being a stay-at-home mom, we didn’t count on it happening so early in the pregnancy! 
We don’t use credit cards, so our budget is really tight most [...]

Whew… I’m pretty late with this week’s Works For Me Wednesday (hosted by Shannon at the Rocks in My Dryer blog!).  Going through 2 funerals in the past week really took a toll on me, so I haven’t felt much like blogging until today.  Anyway….
Being a “newlywed” couple (married in June of 2006) who refuses to [...]

While pregnant, I’ve found myself becoming quite lazy with my cooking.  Granted, I love cooking and thinking up new things - it’s getting the initiative to do it that makes it hard.  Therefore, anything that’s one-pot-easy is terrific in my books!  I like to call them “Pregnancy Delight” dinners. :)  
So, for this week’s Works for [...]

I’ve been pondering all day what to use for this week’s Works for Me Wednesday (Hosted by Shannon, at the Rocks in My Dryer blog) and after American Idol tonight I had a burst of inspiration.  “Bread!” I thought.   “I’ll talk about bread”.
Sounds exciting, right? The life of a stay at home housewife has many thrills.  :) 
Ever since starting my sugar [...]

Ok… I know, I know. 
I’ve already posted a WFMW today with links to my favorite online shopping sites (ones that completely support home-based businesses).  But it suddenly occured to me that with all of the online shopping sites being promoted by Mr. Linky at the Rocks In My Dryer WFMW tip page, there is one [...]

This week’s Works for Me Wednesday is all about our favorite subject - Shopping!  To be more specific, Shannon, from Rocks In My Dryer (WFMW Host) has asked us all to post our favorite shopping sites.  You know, the places that really, uh.. work for me. :) 
My list is going to be dedicated to quality home-based [...]

Welcome to this week’s edition of “Works for Me Wednesday” (hosted by Shannon, from Rocks in My Dryer) here at Little Jack’s Corner.
Ok.  Imagine this.  It’s 12 pm Saturday, the kids are screaming, lunch is burning, hubby is snoring, and the door bell rings.  And?  It’s one of your uppity-up friends aquaintences and her snooty teenage [...]

Ok… there’s this popular thing with a lot of the wife & mom blogs called “works for me wednesdays”.  It’s hosted by Rocks in My Dryer (rocksinmydryer.typepad.com) (hehe, love the name!).   With WFMW, different bloggers post little tips that have…well…worked for them along the way.  Then, they put a link  to their tip on the [...]
