A Big Thank You

Congratulations to Donna Rae who won the 500th post give-away.  She chose the red and white apron from my Etsy shop.  It's one of my favorite aprons because red is my favorite color.



For real, though, I'm the big winner.  I'm the winner because I have all of you who check in with my little blog and leave me encouraging and kind comments. 

You've cheered me on through my surgeries this past year.  You've followed along as I delved into healthy eating.  You've encouraged me to continue with the organizing posts (even though I think I overwhelm some of you -  LOL) 

I so appreciate each and every one of you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog.  I sometimes struggle with wanting to blog but wondering if it's worth the time and effort involved.  I'm constantly trying to juggle family time, time in The Word,  household chores, church ministry, working with clients, filling the Etsy shop, and blogging.  But doesn't that sound like most of us?

I thank you for the time you spend to connect with me and the others who read my blog.   If you've been reading for awhile but never  leave comments, please know that I'd love to hear from you.  If you'd feel more comfortable, just send me an email  at tidybrownwren@gmail.com.

Have a blessed week!

    I LOVE reading your blog and I never miss a day! I do understand your concerns about having enough time to get it all done - there just isn't. Luckily God gives us another day to keep trying!

How To Make Your Own Exercise Bike For Next To Nothing

Remember back in April when I had a kidney transplant?  Well, the kidney is doing great (thanks, Cathy , for taking such good care of it when you owned it).  There was one little glitch, however.  During surgery, the retractors they used caused some nerve damage in my right leg.  When I woke up from surgery, I couldn't move or feel my leg.  The docs felt like the feeling would come back but the paralysis had them stumped.  A visit to a neurologist ruled out a stroke and a CT scan showed some fluid which was pressing on L4 and L5 (medical talk which means I couldn't feel or move part of my leg).  The prognosis is good and I'm recovering pretty quickly.  In fact, I've left my cane behind and I'm walking freestyle without falling.  My next goal is to be able to drive. I've been itching to get back to exercising (physical therapy doesn't count) because my medication causes me to gain weight and I need to burn some calories.  Running? - nope.  Walking? - can&

A Designer's Secret For A Taller Bed

  Several years ago Hubs and I spent almost a year looking for a bedroom set that we both loved.  He wanted clean lines and dark wood.  I wanted curves and a "tall" bed.  Of course, there was no perfect bedroom set but we were able to compromise on a set that we both liked.  My main wish was for a bed that I could "climb up into".  The problem with that wish was that most of the "tall" beds were four poster beds and Hubs was not in the mood for that.  We found a Thomasville bed on display at a local furniture store and it fit the clean lines that Hubs wanted and it was "tall"  enough to suit me.  The problem was that once we received the bed we ordered in our home, it wasn't as tall as I had remembered it being.  My heart sunk!  I went back to the furniture store to look at the display.  Their bed was much taller than our bed.  Hmmm. . . what was different? I got nosey and lifted up the comforter on the bed.  It revealed their secret

Plans For A DIY Exercise Bike Stand

  Thank you to so many of you who emailed me about plans for the DIY Exercise Bike Stand .  I apologize that it has taken me so long to get the measurements to you, but they are finally here!   The wood was purchased at Home Depot and the bike pegs were purchased at Walmart in the bike section.    The bike we used for this project is a 24" 12 speed bike (I'm a shorty).  I used the hardest gear while riding, but this set-up does not allow you to really get much resistance (for building muscle).  It was great for getting my legs moving after some nerve damage.  I also wanted to burn calories and get my heart rate up and this did the trick.    If you have any questions, just shoot me an email.
