Whoa! Slow down Kay.....

I know. Several posts in a row after months of no posting. I am just excited about a lot of things right now. Maybe I have spring fever. Nah, spring has definitely not come to Idaho.

I secretly love the Duggar family! There, I said it. I religiously watch their show on TLC (my favorite channel "18 Kids and Counting". I love their conservative values,old fashioned manners,amazing organizational skills, and money saving tips.Their kids even go courting and don't kiss their spouse until their wedding day. (and people think Mormons are conservative :)I wouldn't stay sane with 18 kids(four is mightily pushing it) but they seem to do better than most.

One thing I am trying from their book is making homemade cleaners. Yesterday I made glass cleaner. It was so easy and I figure it costed me .05 if that. Plus, it's made with natural stuff so that has to be good, right? It worked pretty dang well.

Homemade Window Cleaner

3T Ammonia

1T vinegar

Put in spray bottle and fill the rest of the way up with water.

I also made a paste of vinegar and baking soda (Zachy loved to watch it fizz)and cleaned the tub with it this morning. That tub is sparkling!

I plan to make homemade laundry soap next. I am pretty picky about the smell of laundry soap (I love Tide w/Fabreeze Spring and Renewal) so it may be more of an experiment and a lesson in self reliance. :) I will post more recipes for natural cleaners soon.

Any other Duggar fans out there?
