Ahhhh, Let the Sunshine In!!!
It's been one of those winters that last forever and everyday you wake up (even though the Summer Officially Begins in like 16 days) you expect there still to be grey snowing wetness out your window. But here I finally sit, with the windows open... the birds chirping outside, clothes hanging on the line... and I am crocheting! I have always crocheted in the summer for some reason or another. Trying to get Christmas presents done in time, birthday presents, fresh new crochet pattern book that needs tested... This year is Wash Clothes.
Yes, in the summer I dust off my old scrub board and do most of my laundry the old fashion way.
I figure it saves money, gas, the environment AND believe it or not HOURS of my life not spent in the laundry mat! I still save back jeans and towels for the industrial setting, but yeah ... I'm getting off the point.
So, anyway, this week I hadn't washed anything yet and needed a clean washrag to do the dishes. So I start crocheting and of course posting to all my friends and family of Facebook how resourceful I was being! Within a couple minutes I am making my mom two and a friend a work one. So... since my house is about full of soap again I am shifting my gears a little to include some Suches to my Etsy Shop.
Other Awesome Ideas
*Fabric Softener Sheets
(just soak in your favorite fabric softener and throw in your dryer with each load... or let liquid fabric softener dry and can be used up to 10 times before re-soaking!)
*Collect a lot and sew them together to make an Awe-Inspiring Homemade Afghan that you get the credit for! <----- my favorite idea! Find me ALL OVER the Internet! Facebook

Bubble Bath Bouquet
When I was pregnant with my second son my husband bought me a dozen roses... Yes, I should have been glowing happily as my flowers were the talk of the office! I should have been filled with love as I gazed at my roses but I was just do upset at the amount of money spent on flowers that were going to die in a week and serve no other purpose.
These Bubble Bath Fondant Flowers not only look pretty, they are 12 spa day bubble baths, that smell like your favorite scent, in your favorite colors!
Each flower is an once of handmade bubble bath fondant. Each one is as unique!
Made with SLSA so it's safer for those with more delicate skin.

Clean Wholesome Fun
My Garden Party Themed Birthday
 |
| BathTime Cupcake Minis w/ Bubble Bath Fondant Toppers
We only turn 35 ONCE RIGHT!!! So instead of sitting at home with my head hung over a glass (or three of yummy delicious Oliver's Soft Red Wine, feeling like taking those commercials up on their offers of wrinkle-free skin and a gym membership I invited my family lady's over to make some Bubble Bath Fondant Topped Cupcake Minis!
The little ones running around my tiny apartment playing hide-&-seek, my oldest son in his bedroom... and my brother in the kitchen like any good man LOL keeping us ladies fed! But when it was time to start PLAYING we all got involved! The youngest (1) liked squishing the fondant in his hands, the toddlers made puddles with polka dots, EVEN my 12 year old son made some great looking cupcakes!
Everyone when home well fed and with a cupcake for their next BathTime and I stayed behind with an idea... BathTime Parties!
Coming the Summer 2014 for my local area... and who knows maybe worldwide within a couple years! A girl a dream!!! And at 35 this girl is at the perfect age to give it all she has to make it happen!

Cleaning the bathroom with Eggshells
Another yoga pants Monday, my favorite day of the week!
YES! I am that lady you see with a crying toddler, wearing her yoga pants at Walmart, or Scott's, or the Do-It-Center, or even McDonald's trying to get everything done before the older kids get off the school bus.
With the weather we have been having here in Indiana this year, the poor guys have to go to school for an extra hour a day all month! Which is good and bad, but it gave me and my three year old some sit down and eat lunch together time (INSIDE McDonald's instead of in the car! Precious Memories I tell you)
But on to the point...
So last night I made scrambled eggs for little Miss Zoie at midnight (second shifters unite), and I saved the egg shells because I have been wanting to try something out.
I read recently on my facebook feed that you can combine Baking Soda and Hydro-Peroxide to clean grout and what not... I have also been reading about the wonders of eggshells. So I wanted to mix the two and see what would happen!
Unfortunately for me we have VERY hard water around here and the poor Culligan Man couldn't do his monthly service due to the PILES AND PILES of snow so the rust is getting pretty bad. So I mix my solution...
I dump (NO measurements required I know what paste looks like) my scented carpet freshener into a bowl. Cotton Candy Baking Soda Then I pour some Hydro-Peroxide in and add the powder of one eggshell.
Let sit for as long as I can stand to wait (as long as it takes me to go to my bedroom and find a clean washrag from my laundry baskets that still need put away from last week :) ) and back to the bathroom.
I should stop right here and let you know how much I LOVE cleaning my bathroom!!! You can't tell by looking at it a lot of the times during my work 'week' and from the rust build up but I really enjoy cleaning it.... but I digress....
This solution definitely made cleaning the bathtub super easy and smelling good like Cotton Candy! Cleaned the toilet and it looks like I hit it with THE WORKS (better than using just baking soda and vinegar) AND my sink looks sparkly white again!
Is this a QUICK fix like all the chemical cleaners you can find at the store? No, but that is perfectly fine in this household! My beautiful 3 year old I was telling you about earlier has some serious skin problems and so does my handsome 14 year old. So I try really hard not to add any more harsh chemicals than necessary to my cleaning regiment.
It's been two years now and they haven't had any skin problems this winter! Did I mention it has been the worst in Indiana History???
