Happiness Is ...

Yummy, yummy apple cider from our local apple store. (I love that apple-headed man! He's been the same forever.)

Homemade applesauce with apples from my favorite apple-headed-man store.

A little girl, whose fever may have finally broken, wearing a pink hat with some new pink birthday sunglasses (that I forgot to give to her until yesterday afternoon).

Excellent test grades from Jackson (97% and 100%) and Mason (96%). I guess they get their smarts from Joe.

Happiness is ... soccer season is ending tomorrow. Taylor has his soccer tournament and it looks like we might have mild weather (if it doesn't rain). Last year I nearly froze to death at his tournament.

What is making you happy this week?

1) My baby slept in nearly two hours this morning...
2) It's Friday! That means Pizza at Costco for dinner!
3) My baby is happily sitting next to me and not asking for "bunny movie", candy, cookies, chocolate or anything else I don't want to give her at 9:30 in the morning
4) Getting ready for #2 and #1 is done with bottles AND the crib.
5)Half a loaf of fresh pumpkin bread and half a loaf of fresh white bread on the counter. Yummy, yummy carbs!

WOO HOO for those fantastic test scores! Good job, boys!
Glad to hear that Spenser's fever finally broke. She looks fab in those glasses.
I made some home made applesauce last week. It lasted for a record time of about 2 hours. It was super yummy.
I'm with you on the subject of long pants....capris or skirts for me. However, our weather is a tad more cooperative. ;)

Having some energy back finally so I can clear backlogs of projects, catch up here and post some more pics.

Hubby has just barrelled the cider he's been fermenting, so the house smells sort of appley mixed with the sausage casserole we had for dinner's smell. Very Autumn!

I came upon your blog while searching out a pattern for pj bottoms (post from 2006). I just spent the last 10 minutes or so peeking about. Great blog, great pictures, and cute kids. Thanks for the escape.

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 ...
