It’s official: We are now on Pinterest.  As part of our one year anniversary, we thought it was time to join Pinterest.  You’ll find pins of our most popular articles, and we will add pins of things that can help you successfully run a household.  So be sure to follow us.  The details are at the end of this article.

A Year In Review

We started off the website by offering articles in three main areas: Maintenance, Meals and Money.

From there, we added sections for Organization, Small Spaces, Time Management and What’s Growing – a monthly calendar to show you what’s growing each month.

Special thanks to our readers for sharing articles, liking them on Facebook, or pinning them on Pinterest.  Here are our top three articles that were shared on social media:
