More Fun


Yesterday afternoon, after I had mentioned how peaceful it was in my house, Spenser got into my fingernail polish. Luckily the fumes alerted me to the situation pretty early on, and I was able to stop her. Unfortunately, it was after she got it on the sofa, a pillow, and all over her pajamas. (Yes, there was so much polish that it soaked through her pajama shirt onto her stomach!) Trying to clean it up was worse. The smell of the fingernail polish and removal gave me a quick headache. It's now finally starting to come off my hands.


The boys went out to play in the snow. Jack climbed the neighbor's fence to clean off the snow. Reminds me a lot of this. Hmm. Another escape route.


The boys ate snow and had snowball battles.
And a little pretty snowy scenery taken from our deck this morning. All of trees were snow covered and gorgeous.

I feel your pain! Alex got into fingernail polish this summer. It was everywhere, including ALL over the leather recliner. Yes, that chair still has pink fingrenail polish all over the seat.

My Mother used to yell at me when I put nail polish on in the living room (as a teen), she thought I would spill it. To this day I still phone her when I'm doing my nails and tell her proudly "I'm putting nail polish on in my living room". I'm sure she cringes. Cute pictures and the snow does look really pretty on the trees.

OH No! What a mess. Good thing you caught it quick. I never ran into that problem, but I always cringe when the girls want to put it on. I always vision it all over everywhere.

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 ...
