All Access Pass {1}

Living as a single woman and single mom

It has become imperative for me to learn to do things for myself

Though I am single by chance (widowed)

Many are single by choice

It is my hope in this new segment

That I will be able to share tips and ideas

As well as encouragement to single women

Who 'need' to take on the challenge of completing tasks around their home

All Access Pass

will be a weekly post

where you get full access to the 'musts' of running a single/single parent home

I call today's 'All Access Pass"

'Out with the old and in with the new'

 I have lived with a totally broken toilet seat for about 2 months

Today I decided it was time to purchase a new one

And replace the old

Super simple

2 plastic screws and nuts

About 10 minutes to remove the old one

Clean the area and attach the new one

Voila 

 I have also been using a broken rake for about 2 years

The handle broke in half so I just taped it and continued to use it

 I suppose I could have just replaced the handle

But

I liked the Red handled rake I found at Target today

SO...

I had my kiddo pose with said rake

Yet, I'm not so sure he will ever use it

(the look on his face tells me so)

 

 And finally

A couple of weeks ago, after washing my sheets (again)

I realized that they had completely worn out

I still think I must sleep very restlessly 

(HaHa, when I do sleep)

Because I've worn through 2 new sets since Mark's passing

Today I found a 30% off coupon for Sheet sets at Target

Guess where I ended up

Yep, 

I went from black 2 years ago

To cream last year

And today I purchased red

Love my new sheets

450 thread count, queen set, for only $34.99

That is it for today

Just a sampling of a few replacements I needed to make

In the weeks ahead I will document 

Replacing a light bulb with a chandelier

Painting and redoing a garage/laundry room

And many more items from my daily 'to do around the house' list
