Thursday Tips - Table Care

Do you use a table cloth? You should. It protects the surface of your table and keeps it looking new.



This table cloth is *ahem* on it's way to the wash (please ignore syrup from breakfast). It's made from oilcloth and extremely durable. I have a few that I rotate out as the other is washing. The kids also use wipeable place mats to extend the washing time of the tablecloths.

It may seem like a bit of a nuisance. But with such a durable no frills kind of cloth, it's really no fuss at all.



See? Nice and new. I've had this table for a few years now. Not a scratch or a ding on it.

WFMW - Music + ipod + dock

I love my ipods. I have small ones for the kids and one for myself. I'm considering a newer Nano. I like the green ones.

So around 4:00 most days, I turn on music and we clean the house, make dinner, and relax. I'm not much of a tv person. I'd much rather chill out to music. I love all kinds of music. There isn't a genre that I don't enjoy on some level or at least appreciate.

This is my ipod docking station. It has a built-in 10 hour battery and can run on the ac adapter as well. It also charges my ipod which is rather convenient. These little speakers are surprisingly powerful. I can hear it all over the house when I want to. It's the perfect size to fit anywhere. I seriously <3 my ipod dock.

Music + ipod + docking station = happy me.
