Alright guys, the last time I was here I said I was gonna post some of my favorite old style cleaning remedies. So here are a few of myne, a couple that my friends told me bout, and some I found on a couple of sites.
--you can use rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to kill bugs (most all types of bugs)
around the house. This is useful whe you dont have the cash for bug spray or if
you have little ones crawling around.
--adding baking soda into your white wash load will help make the clothes even
brighter! You just wanna add the bleach in at the beginning of the load with
the detergent, and add the baking soda in with the rinse cycle.
--Of course, everybody knows this one.....peroxide helps remove blood stains.
--For crayon markings.....on vinyl or linoleum floors, you can use silver cleaner.
On wood floors, I've been told to use those soap filled brillo pads, but that
seems like it would leave huge scratches, and I would rather keep my lil ones
"art work" that have big scratch marks, so I dont have any recommendations for
this one. To get crayon marks off painted or tile walls, windex works everytime!!!
--To get pen stains out of fabric, sray some hairspray directly on the pen markings,
then scrub with your choice of detergent, then wash as normal.
--To remove gum from clothing, put a brown paper bag over the gum, and iron
over the paper bag. When you ull up the bag, the gum will come off with the
the bag. I love this one. An old woman told me bout this and IT WORKS!!
--Another one that almost everybody knows...toothpaste will clean tarnished
silver. Works great if you forgot to take off your silver jewelry before you
cleaned with bleach. Ive done this my whole life.
--Here's one that I never heard of but gotta try....To get your white socks really
white again, boil them in water with lemon slices. I will let you guys know how
this one turns out! lol
--Vinegar can be used as an all purpose cleaner, for just about any cleaning around
the house and even the car. Just mix half water and half vinegar, pour into a spray
bottle and your ready to clean!
--Here's one that I learned kig for a maid service. If there is cooked on food or anything
stuck in the microwave, spray the cleaner of your choice into the microwave, all inside,
and turn the microwave on for about 20 to 30 seconds. When it beeps, you will be able
to wipe it out 100x's easier.
--Right after using your Foreman Grill or any electic sandwich makers, soon as your done
using it, unplug it and place a dry paper towel in there and close it. The leftover heat
and steam will make moisture, causing anything that you would usually have to scrub
to come staight up with just a little wipe! After you wipe it clean with the hot, damp
towel, use another paper towel to get any excess.
--If the house is smelling weird, get a coffee cup and put two to three caps full of
vanilla extract into the cup. Put the coffee cup in the oven at 250 to 275 degrees.
The house will smell great in no time at all!
Alright there are a few of my little helpful hints for you guys. Hope that you are able to use afew of these little hints. I have no hobbies but housekeeping ever since I had two kids. So I find ways to make it fun for myself. lol. Right now I am getting into some organizing and things. Once I get some good info on it and have the chance to try out a few things myself, then I will blog and post a few things on that.
I am really getting into this blogging thing. Thanks to whoever you guys are that are reading these cause I really appreciate it!!! Until next time......

Today is my daughter's bday party!!!!
Well, today is my lil girl's bday party. Her actual bday is Saturday, but this is the only day we could book the party at +Pump It Up. She's turning 5 yrs old! Goodness, it feels like just yesterday she was trying to chew on my son's game controllers, Nowadays she's right in there with him, even beating him in alot of games! lol. She's such a girly girl, so different nfrom the way I was at her age! I wasnt exactly a tomboy, but I wouldn't be caught dead in a dress or with my hair out of a ponytail! NewNew, on the other hand, is wearing a tutu to school today so everybody can see what she's wearing at her party. Its a hot pink and black 'monster high' tutu, shes got her hair up in pigtails, and high heels to boot! My lil babygirl is growing up so damn fast. I love it, but I hate it at the same time! I love that she is so independent, but I sometimes wish that she was still a tiny baby needing me for everything! Her and her brother are growing way too fast for me! Okay enough bout my babies.
Me and my hubby have been working on our relationship lately. We have gotten to a bad point in our marriage a few times, even split up for like 3 months like 4 years ago. So lately we have been trying to find dtime for just us, like we use to do back when the kids were babies. Two days ago, he was off work for the day cause there was no work to do, so we went down to the park and checked out the new disc golf course they are building. We even tryed feeding the ducks. By the way, youre so much better off bringing bread to feed them, the stuf they sell you there cant be seen when you throw it or when it hits the ground. And if it has rained lately and the water is merky, they cant see it in the water either!! So go with a $1 thing of bread instead of the stupid stuff they have there! Anyways, we had a blast hanging out just the two of us, we did miss the kids alot and that was almost the only thing we talked about, but we were by ourselves and enjoying it. Next time we have extra cash and my mom around to babysit, we are gonna go out alone again. I wanna see a movie or get a buzz and go to an arcade. That sounds like a damn good couples night!! Neither of us believe in therapy for couples, like if you have to go to counceling your relationship is pretty much gone unless youre willing to put in the effort! We both think that the couples we've seen go to counseling were so dependant on the therapy that they forgot to work on the marriage in the ways they always did before, and they end up forgetting eachother. So me and him are doing it the good old fashioned way.........argueing and loving, remembering to do small nice things for eachother, and remembering the reasons we fell in love to begin with! We also try to be grownups about it all, the kids are whats important. If the kids are happy, me and him are happy, period! But me and my husband dont really have that many problems, thank the good Lord! Most of our fights and arguements stem from money and/or who has to what chore and who did it last. lol. It sounds so silly when you type it out. Im one of the lucky few that found my soulmate!! I dont think there is anything that could tear us apart but the Lord himself! We have strong real love for eachother, and we both know it!! I thank God everyday that He let me meet my man. I know how lucky I am! He doesn't hit me, never cheats, only lies about stupid things, and he is so great to our children!! He is the best daddy to our babies. He never misses anything important to them. He goes to the daddy days at school, eats lunch with them at school on the 'bring your parents to school' days, and he takes up time with them! I can honesty say that he is there for them more than even I am, and I am a really hands on mom. I never wanted any children until I met my man. When we got serious in our relationship thats when I started to see that he would make a great dad, and that he would never be the type to run off and forget about his family. Even when we were separated, he was there for all 3 of us, payed my bills, bought them and me everything we needed, and took the kids out to eat every weekend. Well, let me stop singing his praises. Everytime I brag about how great of a guy he is, he does something stupid or starts an arguement in front of people, so wish me luck I dont have to beat him like a toddler! lol.
I hope to start getting some followers soon! Tomorrow I will be posting some neat things on here. Some DIY things, a recipe or two, and a few things everyone needs to know....like if you have stuck on food in a pan, you can soak it with a dryer sheet and it will take up everything under the sheet! Some need to know things like that!!
So..........until tomorrow.......byebye
