Duct Tape Flower Pens

Never loose a pen again. Another good way to get your older girls away from the video games and TV. Made these a little while back and am on the hunt for more duct tape projects TO DO. The flower pens are a bit time consuming but in a way addicting. The best thing about this bouquet is that I am never scrambling for a pen :)

Homemade Laundry Detergent

 A Recipe for some 

 Laundry Lovin

After looking over many Laundry detergent recipes I decided to take a little bit from each and make my own. This is my first time making my own detergent and the recipe promises to last 4-6 months. Initially it will cost a little more than your average store bought detergent ( I spent $25.) but in the long run 

   you shall save...

"We love to save!"

                         

                                         

 2 Bars of Zote soap or Fels- Naptha

                                 
Arm and Hammer Super Wash Soda

Borax (1) 4lb box

  Oxy Clean

    Arm and Hammer Baking Soda 4 lb box

        Optional: Purex Crystals Fabric Softener or 

         try 3-4 bottles of Scentsy washer whiffs.

    The directions are ABC 123. Get a bucket to mix

     all ingredients together leaving out the zote soap.

                   

    Using a cheese grader... Shred both soaps and 
add to your mix.

 

        Last step. Put some of that homemade love in your

        leftover Purex Crystals bottle and VIOLA you are done.

       You only need 2 tablespoons per load. or one Cupful of 

    your purex lid. Enjoy!

GO TO SLEEP!

It's bedtime. All is quite. Not a creature is stirring..not even a mouse. You think you got the kiddies to sleep. You finally get a chance to lay your head down and close your eyes when suddenly you hear it... Moooooom?...

This Old Chair

This old little Rocker has been sitting in my moms guest room for many moons just wasting away and I have had my eye on it.

SMILES

 

My Precious one month old Presley and her very first baby smile caught on camera.

The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief.  ~William Shakespeare, Othello

  A smile is a language that even a baby understands.

If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it.  ~Andy Rooney

Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.  ~Mother Teresa

You're never fully dressed without a smile.  ~Martin Charnin

                       Put a smile on your face, make the world a better place.- Vitamin C

   If you haven’t seen your wife smile at a traffic cop, you haven’t seen her smile her prettiest.

              

                       Smile – it’s the second best thing you can do with your lips.

     Today, give a stranger one of your smiles.  It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.      ~Quoted in P.S. I Love You

               Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.  ~Mark Twain

                                 A laugh is a smile that bursts.  ~Mary H. Waldrip
