About Me

My photo
I have 4 boys (9,8,4, and 21 months). I am pregnant with #5 and it's a GIRL!! We live with my boyfriend in the midwest. After being laid off in January I am now a stay at home mom. I love to write, craft, and read. We are a homeschooling family and some days we love it and some days we don't. I love to find new ideas, crafts, and recipes on pinterest and try them out myself.

A lot of sun and a little fun

So yesterday was my dr appt. I got to drink the nasty stuff for the diabetes test. They asked if I wanted orange flavor or cola flavor and I said cola thinking it would be like coca cola. Yeah, no. It was just as sugary and nasty as the orange flavor one, but more so. Someone should really change the rules and give donuts or a huge sugar filled candy bar instead of that stuff. Either way, it came back fine. All is good. And I didn't gain any weight in the 5 weeks since my appt! For someone my size that is nice-pregnant or not!
We also cooked out last night- or well V started the grill and I cooked on it. Corn, hot dogs (veggie dogs for me please!) and potato salad. The potato salad turned out pretty good for my first real time making it without mom!
Today I made a cleaner I found on pinterest, cleaned the house, did tons of laundry, spritzed the beds off with a de-odorizing/de-urineizing spray I found on pinterest (and it worked!!!!), did a few loads of dishes, made cookies that V has been asking me to make for a while now, took mom's cat to the vet to leave her overnight to get her infected tooth pulled tomorrow, and then made supper and went and played basketball at the park with B while N, S and G all rode thier bikes around the court.
All in all it was a productive day!

Here is the link to the cleaner I made:

I didn't use Dawn dish soap and I used about 2 oz of soap instead. It made some bubbles but not overwhelming amount. The vinegar smell was kind of overwhelming when spraying so make sure you keep that in mind if you use it. It cleaned REALLY well, windows, counters, shower/tub, bathroom floor, mirrors, etc.

Here is the link to the spray I used on the bed:

It is still a little damp where I sprayed it, so ideally it would be great to spray it on right away in the morning and then let it sit all day and make the bed right before bed. It works amazing though!!
