Guess what I did last night? The husband was working late, so I decided to concoct my own household cleaners! I bought the largest container of vinegar and baking soda known to mankind (the baking soda weighs 13 pounds!) at Costco the other night, so don't think I'll be running out of either of those items anytime soon.
Recipe I used for All-Purpose Cleaner:
2 cups hot water
1/4 cup vinegar
1/2 tsp. Super Washing Soda
15-20 drops Tea Tree and Lavender Essential Oils (I bought a blend of both and did 20 drops)
So far I love the cleaner, although I know it's really impossible to give an educated opinion after only using it once... that being said, my favorite thing about it is the glorious wonder of cleaning and my house smelling like a relaxing spa afterwards!! Yes!
I'm also in the process of lining my cupboards (mostly just for fun) and they turned out pretty darn cute. I would have posted a before and after photo of them but believe me when I say you did not want to see the "before". So I'll just stick to posting the after. Which probably really isn't that exciting to anyone but me, but I'm ok with that...for those of you who knew what they looked like before, you'll be so proud (pictures don't do them justice)!
Life is pretty interesting right now, with Cisco working 2 jobs, yet I'm so thankful for the newfound joy I have found in all things cleaning & learning about eating healthy. It's a great diversion to the lonely nights and weekends! The Lord obviously knows what we need and gives us the grace to get through the roads He's placed us on, even when it seems we can't make it one step further (which was me, last night, before I decided to pick my chin up and get busy with all the above... I miss my husband terribly.)
