Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog, A Dash of This, A Smidgeon of That. I'm going to be sharing some of my favorite recipes, decorating ideas, cleaning tips and organizing suggestions. (Okay, that last one was a joke. What do I know about organization?)
I'd love it if you CDMs out there contributed your ideas, etc., too. Either leave it as a comment or email me and I'll post it for all to see.
Let the fun begin!
