Tea For Today
Today: Saturday, April18, 2009
Outside My Window: BLIZZARD! it has been snowing all night and all day. We'll see how much is actually on the ground when the wind stops!
Today's Goal: Get everything from our trip unpacked and put away; sort laundry.
Today's Plan: Make menus for next week and a shopping list.
Today's Tea: Mexican Winter - it is so warming with its pepper berries.
Today's Tidbits: Today is the last day we are in FlyLady's Zone 3 (Main Bathroom plus One Other Room). Since we cleaned the bath room before we left on our trip, it is in good shape. The back room is also in good shape, so maybe just a once over on the counters and vacuuming the floor is in order.

Tea for Today
Today: Wednesday, April 1, 2009
Outside My Window: cold and snowy. More to come tonight!
Today's Goal: Exercise and drink more water.
Today's Plan: Order extra Irish Dance socks for the girls.
Today's Tea: How about a pot of After 7 Rooibos? Yummy chocolate & mint flavors! We are sipping it this afternoon after all school is done, while watching a movie from the library.
Today's Tidbits: We are in FlyLady's Zone 1 (Entrnce, Front Porch and Dining Room). The kids are helping me by doing the dusting and cleaning the fronts of the washer and dryer. I wonder if painting them would be a good idea to freshen them up a bit (the washer and dryer, not the kids). Does anyone have any ideas?

Today's Goal: Exercise and drink more water

Today's Goal: Exercise and drink more water
Today's Plan: School; install the new side view mirror on the van; take the kids for a play date and dinner at Debbie's house.
Today's Tea: Cinnamon Delight Rooibos. This is so good hot or iced! It's one of my favorites for hot summer days.
Today's Tidbits: The Master bedroom is starting to look nice again - I moved my writing desk against a different wall and Ian hung a fabric wall pocket I made on the wall above it so I can keep clutter off the desk. I can now reach the curtains to open and close them.

Outside My Window: Partly cloudy, a little windy, but warmer than yesterday I think.
Today's Goal: Exercise and drink more water; pray the Rosary
Today's Plan: School; Take anything out of the Master bedroom that does not belong there; Stations of the Cross tonight.
Today's Tea: Nut Crunch Rooibos tea: this is one of my favorites. Nutty aroma and taste - hazelnuts! and no caffeine.
Today's Tidbits: First Friday in Lent. I am going to redo my daily schedule so that I can actually follow it. My old one got too cluttered, so I stopped following it.

Tea for Today
I thought I would do a little daily (or as often as I can) post about the teas I enjoy drinking and selling. I want to share with you what teas I like best and why, along with little interesting tidbits about what is going on here at Windyside (that is what I have named our house, since there is an almost constant wind blowing day and night).
Today: Ash Wednesday, February 25, 2009
Outside My Window: Cold and windy
Today's Goal: Exercise and drink more water, pray the Rosary, start Lent off right
Today's Plan: School week 23; Mass tonight
Today's Tea: Spiced Pear Black tea. I am sipping it hot and plain, but I also like it with a little sugar or cream, and it is really good iced with sugar, too. This is a nice, warming tea since it has ginger in it.
Today's Tidbits: I am wondering how to block the wind so that we can grow a wider variety of vegetables and flowers in our garden this year.
I plan on posting my monthly Tea Newsletter too, so watch for that.
