Deep Cleaning Schedule–Made Easy!
New Year, New Cleaning Ritual!
For me, deep cleaning is like working out….I despise doing it. I dread the thought of having to viciously scrub away the grime that magically appears overnight. I procrastinate and bargain with myself. Why can’t the new year make my house all shiny and new again??
*Sigh* Alas, starting a new year does not magically make my cleaning woes disappear into thin air. So, I’m starting 2015 off with a new cleaning schedule:
Wreath Wednesday: Adorable Dollar Store Valentine’s Day Wreaths
Welcome to Wreath Wednesday!! Valentine’s Day Edition, Part 1.
Since Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, I wanted to share with you all how inexpensive, universal and cute wreaths can be!
I’ve found that if you have a general idea of what you are looking to make, you should definitely hit up The Dollar Store first and foremost!! Every single item is $1.00, and some of the items are actually really adorable! All of the items for this post were bought from The Dollar Store 🙂
This wreath is made up of six hard felt hearts, and cost $6.00. I simply overlapped the hearts and added dots of hot glue to hold them together 🙂
To turn this into a full wreath, just add ribbon to the top, either by hot glue or by looping it through one of the many holes. This wreath can be hung inside or outside based on it’s materials.
Here are variations that I made with just these six items:

PSA: Life-Changing Tool For Anyone Juggling Debt!!
PSA: Free Excel Tool To Pay Off Multiple Loans In Quickest/Cheapest Order
If you are juggling multiple debts, you need to get this FREE excel sheet. I’m not selling anything, I promise. I’ve just FINALLY found a tool to help me manage my debt, and I want to SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD!!!! This is an absolute MUST HAVE for anyone that is juggling multiple student loans, cars payments, and credit card debt.
This tool creates an individualized PAYOFF STRATEGY that will tell you the order you need to pay off your loans in, and how many months it will take you to pay off each one. The result is the QUICKEST & CHEAPEST way to pay off your debt. You can change the strategy that you want to use to pay off your debt–snowballing, avalanching, or a combination of interest rate/balance.
This schedule even includes a way to input extra one-time payments for those months were you get a bonus (or just come in under budget), and you want to put that extra money towards your loans.
Here is where I found it. You can also copy and paste the link below:

I hope you all love this find as much as I do!! Here is to a debt-free (or at least reduced!) 2015!!! Cheers 🙂
