Recover from the holidays & get organized!
Are you worn out from all of the holiday celebrations? Now that you’ve taken down the tree and put away all the decorations, it’s time to get your house back to normal. Start the year off right with this list of things to do this month:
- Get organized. File papers, sort mail, gather documents to prepare tax returns.
- Sort through holiday photos. Organize them on your computer and save a copy to a backup drive.
- Clean the guest room. Wash the linens.
- Clean the oven. (This is easy if you have a self-cleaning oven.)
- Clean out the refrigerator and freezer.
- Change air filters in your heating/air conditioning system.
- Clean out a closet. Take unwanted items to the thrift store.
If you need help cleaning your home, contact us. We make cleaning day your favorite day of the week!

There's always time for safety!
In January, we often experience cold and snowy weather. Here’s how to be safe this winter from the National Safety Council:
- Drive safely. Make sure your car is prepared for winter weather.
- Be careful when shoveling snow to avoid injuries.
- Prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Install a carbon monoxide detector.
- If you are going skiing, snowboarding, sledding, or skating, brush up on the basic skills. Don’t overdo it by trying to do what you did when you were a teenager. Wear protective gear.

Featured Recipe
Creamy Crock Pot Mushroom Chicken
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 4 hours, 30 minutes
Serves 5
Ingredients
1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup diced white onion
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 15-ounce can chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
3 cups Minute white rice
Directions
Add the chicken to a six-quart or larger slow cooker. Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and garlic. Add the onion and mushrooms on top. Then pour in the chicken broth.
Cover and cook on high for 4 hours. Don't open the lid during the cooking time.
When the cooking time is up, remove the chicken thighs and place on a plate. Stir in the sour cream until it dissolves into the broth. Then stir in the instant rice. Sprinkle with a touch more oregano if desired. Add the chicken back into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes more. If you use instant brown ice, cook for 45 minutes more instead of 30. Serve and enjoy!
