OK, so #24, #25, and #31 will probably remain dreams, but every bucket list should have some crazy things on them. Everything else seems pretty achievable. So, if you have any connections that would help me cross some things off, be sure to keep me on the D.L.

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or skillet over medium heat. Add grated carrots and onions and cook for a few minutes.
Make a well in the center of the mixture.
Then add in the ground beef. Cook for a few minutes until brown, gradually stirring it into the carrot mixture. Throw in oregano and basil. When the meat is browned and combined with other ingredients, make another well. Add tomato paste and let it heat.
Add garlic and stir to combine. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add red wine. Stir together.
Add Worcestershire and stir. Add canned tomatoes. Finally, pour in milk, stir, and let simmer for 30 minutes to 2 hours—however long you need.
Serve with pasta and a generous sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.

Blitz Cleaning
It's what we do.
Every night.
{...well, almost every night. We've slacked off lately because of a clumsy injury on my part. We'll be back to blitzing in no time.}
Blitz cleaning happens after we lay Karlie down for the night. We say prayers, give tons of hugs and kisses, and the blitzing begins. All we do is set our kitchen timer (which I love by the way. It's orange and it's from Anthropologie and I smile every time I turn its little dial) for 10-15 minutes and then we clean like crazy.
We usually do a 10 minute blitz but the pictures below are from a 15 minute blitz. We set the timer for 10 minutes but the time flew by and we weren't ready to quit! So we added 5 more minutes...see what blitzing will do to you?!
Behold! The power of 15 minutes....
As we clean, anything we find that belongs in Karlie's room is piled neatly by the door and put away the next morning.
And that is what we call blitz cleaning.
I'm always looking for quick and easy cleaning tips so if you have one you love to do, puh-leez, do tell me about it!
