    It's so simple you wouldn't believe me if I told you.

    There are certain things because of the type of woman I am, I can not live my life without. Most of them are things that I did not really care too much about until I became a wife, a home owner and a mother. My purse(s). A good pair of boots. A good drill. A killer button up white shirt. An amazing pair of jeans, and my lifetime subscription to Real Simple Magazine. For the record I don't think you can actually have a lifetime subscription I just know that I have had it for almost ten years now and I plan on having it for the rest of my life therefore making it a lifetime subscription to me. Which is saying a lot because I'm not a big magazine type person. For the most part I think they are filled with more ad space then articles and are killing trees at an alarming rate, but for my Real Simple I'll give up a few trees.....work with me here people. For a person who stresses about cleanliness and searches for ideas via other peoples creative ability this magazine is a life saver. It has helped me through all of my PSC moves. Both of my children, and not to mention one interesting school year with said interesting teacher. To some it may sound strange but this is my bible. This is my lifeline. This is my friend. And since all of you are my friends and since I love you all so much, and it doesn't hurt that my birthday is only a week away I want you to know the wonderfulness of this magazine too.

    SO I am giving it to you. To be more exact I am giving away a one year subscription to Real Simple Magazine in honor and respect to my bending PSC move.

    Giveaway questions is:

    What is your most pain in the butt home issue?
    leaky kitchen sink? squeaky floor board? or maybe you just have too much stuff for your living-space....tell me, tell me, tell me.

    I love real simple :) I just read the weddings one! Turns out if you buy that, you get a years subscription too. For $14 for one issue...you better! Haha! We're definitely a too-much-stuff kind of family. I try my hardest to organize things, but it's just everywhere. Even organized, it looks cluttered!

    Lets see...That would be the constant cleaning that comes with kids and a dog living in the home with you. I don't mind the kids and dog, in fact I love them so much it hurts. But having to follow them around cleaning up the mud after they come inside is really the worst thing in my book.

    I have a leaky kitchen faucet. And by leaky I mean it randomly gushes out water, which is pretty scary when I know no one else is home but all of a sudden I hear a bunch of water running in the sink! Too bad our apartment manager doesn't care!
