Moms & Muffins

This morning the boys' school held its annual Moms & Muffins breakfast. Moms were invited to eat breakfast with their children before school. I'm positive I was the luckiest mom there. I had four handsome dates.

We ate blueberry and apple blossom muffins, apples and bananas and drank orange juice. We had fun. I even have some photos of Taylor smiling. (Or trying not to smile.)

I don't often eat breakfast. Food in the morning is not my thing. Especially sweet food. So this was an extra "special" treat. One that I can reserve for once a year. (I usually eat an early lunch.)

Next month is Dads & Donuts.

What a great set of dates you had! I have to agree with you about not eating breakfast much -- now if only they would serve sausage mcmuffins after 10:30 am. (I love breakfast food -- just not at traditional breakfast hours!)

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 ...
