I came across a blog talking about childhood memories and events that make an impact on our [...]

I guess it is time for my first review of the homemade laundry detergent I have been using for about five days. This is the recipe I used. I read many sites with recipes that were all very similar. I liked that she posted pictures with hers so that is what I went with. I [...]

I decided to try cleaning my kitchen floor with vinegar and water and was surprised that it cleaned better than any store bought cleanser I have tried. I used a half of a cup of vinegar in two liters of hot water. I had read that the vinegar smell only lasts until the floor dries [...]
