A Little Happier

A few things have made me happier since yesterday's grumpy post.

First, all of your kind words and comments. Thank you! I know I should just 'relax,' and I am trying ... please bear with me.

Then, my shoes arrived from Zappos. I bought these for myself using birthday money I received. I am thinking this is the most I have ever paid for shoes, but they are worth it!






Even Spenser agrees!




Then I treated myself to a piece of birthday cheesecake (after lunch) and a Bergers cookie (after dinner). And I wonder why I can't lose my girth!

This is a Bergers cookie. A cookie with a layer of fudge on the top. These are truly "Baltimore." You can only eat one because they are so rich.

And this morning I tried on a pair of "fat" (capri-length) jeans. They fit! Last week they didn't fit. So I now have a 'new' pair of bottoms to wear on my bottom. As long as it's not too cold outside, I can slide by with these for now.

Green's my favorite color, and your new shoes totally rock my world! I love Berger cookies! It's really weird, too, because I don't particularly care for chocolate, but those cookies...they get me every time. 1 Berger cookie + 1 big tall, glass of milk = happiness

Just keep nursing that baby and it will keep coming off, you'll see. Now I wouldn't just say that to anybody because I know this isn't the norm for everyone, but you weren't so heavy to begin with, so I feel comfortable saying it to you. I'm glad you're feeling better. Isn't it funny how shoes can do that for you?

Who wouldn't love those shoes! Love the color. Wow, six kids. Can't be easy. I've got 4, 3 boys and 1 girl. I'm almost done with nursing my last baby who just turned a year old in September. Yeah! Nursing definitely has it's good and bad points. But I have to say that it has mostly been good.
You have a great day now!

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

Image
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 ...
