Things I LOVE Thursday....Vinegar

When I was a kid, my Mom made us rinse our hair in vinegar after shampooing....I hated it. But, I never got lice and my hair was always shiny.

Recently, I've finally gotten over myself at being irritated with my Mom & have discovered that vinegar really is a miracle product. It is inexpensive, not harmful to the environment and so versatile. It is a great cleaner for windows and mirrors, it cuts grease on appliances & leaves them shiny. It works great for touching up the linoleum floors around the house. I run my cloth diapers and my towels through a vinegar rinse to make sure all the soap is out. When lice was going around my kids school, I broke out the apple cider vinegar & rinsed their hair with it after every shampoo, not sure if it was the reason, but we were spared from this years lice invasion. I think my absolute favorite thing about vinegar is that I know it is SAFE to use around my kids. I mop my floor with the same bottle of vinegar that I use in some of my favorite recipes.....if only chocolate could be so versatile!!!

Facebook

A few days ago, a friend mentioned that you can link your blog to facebook. I was intrigued!!! I LOVE facebook. I spend way too much time there & many of my friends do too. I've had a bit of trouble getting my blog info out to some members of our extended family, but they are on facebook. So, I had the brilliant idea that if only I could link my blog to facebook, I would be able to miraculously notify everyone I know about my blogs.

I pondered this for a few days, looked around facebook, but couldn't find the magical application to accomplish this amazing feat. Tip Junkie to the rescue!!! Yesterday she had a blurb about how to advertise your business on facebook & along with that wonderful information she also included instructions on how to link your blogs to your facebook account!!!!

Music Monday

Last week we had SNOW on Monday. Today, it is 70 degrees!!! I have to say I really do prefer warm over COLD.

I'm still sick....be back soon

Sorry I've been out of touch all week. My 10 yr old was diagnosed with pneumonia a week ago but is now mostly recovered. I saw the Dr on Thursday & they say I've got asthmatic bronchitis, the antibiotic is doing NOTHING for me, so I guess it is a virus that will need to run its course. I'm hoping to sleep for about the next 36 hours and see if that will flush this out of my system.

Music Monday

I don't think this should be classified as a Christmas song...this is the mood at my house tonight.

SNOW!!!

A challenge for the week

Last week my friend Cakes talked about a challenge she is beginning today...."doing a little experiment. For one whole week, I will not tell any of the kids, "not right now." Unless of course I really can't do it right now. But usually I am doing something that really could be dropped to take a moment and read a story"

I was inspired & so starting today I'm going to give it a try too!!! Want to join us?
