Spice Tags

I know what you're going to ask so let's get to it. Audie is doing great! He does have some puppy issues (biting, running away with our shoes, stubbornness) but we're working on it. We've actually started him in an obedience class in Morehead, KY at Tin Woof Inn. We all love it!! The class is really more to teach us how to deal with him and all his puppy energy. We've learned several tricks and some essential commands like come and stay. Audie has done super well. He's the smartest one in his class, too! Another reason we like the class so much is it wears him out! He goes right to sleep when we get home and we get some great candid moments like this:

This is his sleep style of choice

In other news at the country bumpkin household, I thought of something that has helped me out a lot. As I am a short person, I have difficultly seeing in the cabinets. The worst is our spice cabinet. All the spices are at eye level which is good but almost all of them are in the same bottle. It takes forever to find the ones I need! I have to keep lifting all the spices trying to find what I need and it's usually at the very back or mixed in the middle somewhere and I end up checking a lot of things twice. I'll have to say I'm pretty proud of myself that this whole idea I had didn't come from Pinterest (although the tags I found inspired it). I decided that I would print out these tags and tape them on my spices. That way I would be able to read the tags instead of lifting every single spice in there! It turned out great! See for yourself:

I even color coded some of them (I know, I'm a dork!)

I just love these chevron stripe tags. Print your own HERE

That's about all the new stuff. I'm starting to plan for our haunted basement tour again this year. I'll let you in on what I come up with. Stay tuned!
