Busy Bee

-

Well today I have been BUSY! Here is a list of things I've done today:


  • Went outside with kids early this morn (around 8 or so as it got up to high 70's today)

  • Read Candy's posts from yesterday and today

  • Checked email

  • Posted a few articles on the blog today (Angel Food Ministries and Menu Planning, Homemade Cleaning Solutions-LEMONS, Homemade Cleaning Solutions-VINEGAR, Medicinal Uses-Apple Cider Vinegar, Homemade Cleaning Solutions-BAKING SODA, and this one)

  • Cleaned out my new vacuum cleaner (hubby used it last night like a shop vac which it was not designed for-so I had tons of drywall dust and debris to clean out of it ;)

  • Washed a couple of loads of laundry (but still have yet to fold and put away-this is not my most favorite chore for some reason but I plan on trying Candy's suggestions per her E-Book)

  • Made lunch and put 2 youngest down for nap

  • Watched cartoons with oldest and blogged

  • Swept and mopped 2 bathroom floors (mud room will have to wait)

  • Baked homemade oatmeal raisin cookies (will upload recipe and pictures soon)

  • Baked 2 loaves of whole wheat bread (will upload recipe and pictures soon)

  • Freecycled away my pedestal bathroom sink even before my husband has uninstalled it :)

  • Made dinner consisting of leftover meat (turkey meatloaf, BBQ chicken, baked pork chops) with steamed green beans and canned seasoned mustard greens

Still to do (but we'll have to see on how much energy I still have):

  • Plan on sweeping and mopping hard wood floors in kitchen and dining area

  • Vacuum the Formal living room-AKA Front Room, hallway, and 3 bedrooms

I'm sure there is more that I did but am just too tired to be able to think straight. I can't wait to take a shower and crawl between my first set of 250 count sheets (can't afford anything higher) on my new pillowtop mattress and read my Bible and study a little bit.)


Until later-have a blessed evening (day)!

Tea Tree Oil I

I have heard so much about this oil and thought I would finally try it. My excuse to finally get it was I found a great little homemade recipe online for diaper rash (or prevention of) using Aloe, tea tree oil, etc. (I will post this recipe later). So since I will be switching to cloth diapers soon and wanted to also switch to a more natural diaper wipe (using the recipe I found in a spray bottle to a dry wash cloth makes a good "diaper wipe") I went ahead and ordered from my favorite little website http://www.vitacost.com/ and my items just came in a couple of days ago. **Even though I purchased mine online (I bought other items too) you can find this in lots of stores now including your local health food store. Sometimes Health food stores are a little higher in price so it might behoove you to call around to your local grocery stores or even retailers like Walmart, Kmart, etc. to see if they carry it before you go searching for it. This will help you plan your trip and yo

Let's Eat Organic! In Season and Out -

My family and I have been trying to switch as much as possible to all natural and organic. It is a bit overwhelming when you think of all the food that is out there to choose from. So I thought in order to make things easier for me when I shop I would compile a list of foods that are best to eat Organic while others are better to eat All Natural and then of course there are the foods that you just can't really get around or may be okay to eat. So to get started this is the Organic portion. For a good article click here . I used to shop mainly at Aldi's and supplementing at Meijers with a an occasional Wal-Mart thrown in. But I have to admit that I have a problem. When I go to the big superstores I get myself in trouble and end up spending WAY too much money because I always "wander" over to the other sections that do not pertain to groceries and always find something that I "need". So recently I have decided that I'm going to start shopping at Krogers fo

A Modest Ladies Survey

I saw this at Candy's site, Keeping The Home I would love to see your responses to these questions as well.  If you have a blog then post it and send me the link so I can read them (and others can too).  I'll put in my answers to the below questions, so make sure to comment and leave your URL (or answer right here on the comments) so we can read your answers. Do you wear makeup? Yes.  I wear just a bit on occasion.  I wear brown eyeliner, black mascara and a bit of neutral eyeshadow (browns or purples - not like royal blue purple but subtle).  I like to do this for my hubby as well as a pick-me-up to myself.  I also wear tinted lip glosses.  Once a year I get all dolled up to go to my Hubby's company End of the Year Party and then I wear my hear real fancy with a bit more make-up with a new (or new from thrift-store) skirt and blouse and of course got to have some beautiful stylish high heels. Do you wear a head covering? I cover sometimes as my Hubby is not quite co
