For all the homemakers out there - married and single alike - check out girltalk. I was going to post about one of their posts today (July 17, recommended books) and decided just to direct you to their site as it's full of awesomeness.
Graduated
She's only 5 weeks old and Ruby has already graduated to a larger
carrier. She's outgrowing the sling and holding her head up more each
day. I love my family so much and they're so good looking!
Green Cleaning
Dana at Old Red Barn Co. posted these recipes for green cleaners last month. I just found them via Blue Yonder. Both are great blogs as well - check them out!
Here are the recipes...
Glass Cleaner
2 parts vinegar to 1 part distilled water. Sometimes I add some antiseptic essential oil such as lemon, lavender or tea tree. Oh, three or four drops.
All Purpose Cleaner
2 teaspoons Borax
20 oz of distilled water
10 oz vinegar
2 drops of your favorite dish soap
A few drops of essential oils if you wish
Scrubby stuff
A box of Borax
A box of baking soda
A few drops of essential oil -- here my favorite is lemon and rosemary
I'm going to try them as well as cloth wipes with my cloth diapering... I suppose I should update on how all of that sort of baby stuff is going... soon. very soon.
On a related note - if anyone has any wisdom/tips that involve essential oils let me know, it's an area I haven't explored but am going to.
