Too Much Fun

We had a crazy-filled weekend. A baby shower, visits with mothers and grandmothers, planting of a garden and:

Herb planters times 4 boys (at Lowe's).
(basil, parsley, oregano, marjoram)
A walk to our town's "Depot Days" with 3 Wilburs.
Fresh-cut french fries with vinegar, ketchup and salt. (We wanted Old Bay, but it is too spicy for the little ones.)
Sno-cones while listening to a high school choral group.
And my favorite:

This had me cackling! This a paper that Jack filled in for me for Mothers Day. He had forgotten to give it to me yesterday, but I found it in his bookbag last night after he had gone to bed. I think it's the best thing I could have received ... many belly-aching laughs. (Joe was in the next room saying "What? ... What? ... What?! ... What?!?")

Very tall and skinny - and that with all the superior quality babies you grow!
That in a nutshell is why I liked teaching first grade so much. Those little brains are just all kinds of awesome. :)

How cute is that! If my kid said I was 8 feet tall and only weighed 100 pounds I'd be in heaven! :)

How sweet - it must be how he sees you! Children pick up on lots of things...like you love to nurse your baby. :o) And maybe from where he is you look 8 feet tall. :o)

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 ...
