1. Jessica (aka fishmama) over at Life as Mom has a guest post from Mandi that tells you all about The Power of a 15 Minute Blitz. At this high-stress time of year where unexpected guests are frequently stopping by with very little notice those 15 Minute Blitzes could be a life saver. If you would like even more help with Holiday Housekeeping go read Org Junkie's post at Blogher.
2. Whitney and Ashley are hosting a Rust-Oleum Revamp Party over at Shanty 2 Chic. I am getting some Rust-Oleum for Christmas and going to town on the ugly brass fixtures in my house. Watch out fans, door knobs, cabinet handles, etc. I might even take pictures.
