Chocolate Peanut Butter


I've only been a little crafty lately. Just a little. And that little bit is secretive for a baby shower, so I can't share it. So, instead, I'll show you some soap from my last soapmaking experience when Joe was out of town. Chocolate peanut butter soap. It smells like Reese's. I haven't made it in years, and I can't remember why. It smells so good. I just have to wait another two weeks until I can try it.

(The honey blossom and lavender soaps have completely cured, but I haven't tried them yet.)

While I would love the smell of the Reeses soap, I think the honey blossom and lavender sounds to die for :) Do you sell it somewhere? For some reason soap making intimidates me.

OMG- I bet that smells delish! It totally looks like fudge (though I am guessing it does not exactly taste like fudge). I don't know much about soap making and am curious to know what motivates you to make your own? Is it a hobby or more than that (as in, healthier for you than commercial soaps)? I am forever impressed with all that you can fit into one week and still have time to be a great moma to your sweet kiddos.

That soap sounds amazing, and the outfits you've been working on for Sawyer and Spenser are incredible. That cherry fabric? Yeah, Mommy needs a cherry blouse too :0). (and I would have been hiding the scissors as well when she started asking about the haircut)

How do you stop yourself from having a nibble of the soap. I thought it was edible until I read it was soap. Looks very yummy.

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.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
