24 Hours - What a Difference

Yesterday:

Today:

The kids came home from school two hours early yesterday and went in two hours late this morning. The sun is up. The sky is blue. It's beautiful. Such a difference from yesterday.

Mason, who went back to school on Thursday and was fine, was sent home today after only being in school for a half hour because he was coughing and they were afraid he was going to throw up. He's coughed a little since he's been home, but he is fine. He has not thrown up. Maybe I'm desensitized to the whole situation. I don't know. (And he never did have pinkeye either.)

If you hadn't posted by the time I left work I was going to e-mail and check on you! Enjoy the snow with your family - and I swear, I only have TWO kids WITH ASTHMA and I don't hear them cough most of the time. Maybe something at school is making him cough.

Happy Weekend! L

Sorry. Hope Mason feels better today.

I guess if school was delayed that explains why you weren't posting at your "normal" time. (I only know because it's the same time that I'm usually posting and reading blogs and I usually see a new post from you pop up while I'm online.)

Your snow photos are making me miss it up north!

Ok, snow can be pretty. Wish we had gotten some of the "pretty" stuff recently. As for the school, I have the feeling they are just being cautious -- but, ya know, I think you do get used to it a bit. I mean, the first time my little one got sick I was a wreck -- really, I've gotten better!

I have 6 little ones too! What were we thinking! It can be a handful for sure. I love your shirt, and I'm going to make some for me too. Thanks for the suggestions on pattern correction!

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

Cloth Napkins

Happy Earth Day! Last year I made a bunch of cloth napkins using the rolled hem feature of my serger. And, while we used them a lot in the beginning, I kind of forgot about them and paper napkins crept back into our lives. (Although, I must admit that paper are better for cleaning up spilled lemonade and for packing in my boys' lunches. I'm afraid I'd never see them again if they were in a lunchbox.) I am trying to be more mindful of our waste. I find myself asking, "Can I reuse, reduce, recycle, or repurpose this?" about every thing. I recently discovered our town has a receptacle just for paper recycling. That makes me giddy. We get tons of papers from school, so now I can load it up and drop them off at town hall. So, in honor of Earth Day, I am giving away this set of six cloth napkins. They are made from thrifted, vintage (therefore repurposed) sheets that are leftovers from various projects. If you'd like a chance to win them, please leave a comment on ...
