Home Care

No need to purchase supplies to keep your windows sparkling! Chances are you've got what you need at home. Prepare a solution of two tablespoons of vinegar to one quart of water, spray it on and use crumpled newspapers to clean away streaks. Want to keep your refrigerator sweet smelling? Put a few drops of vanilla extract on a piece of cotton, tuck it in your fridge and kiss odors goodbye! Stock up on lemons for your Spring-cleaning! Lemon juice dissolves soap scum and hard water deposits, cleans and shines brass and copper and can be mixed with vinegar and/or baking soda to make cleaning pastes. Even put a whole lemon peel through the garbage disposal to freshen the drain and the kitchen! Don't want to smell last night's fish at this morning's breakfast? After cooking, simmer a small pot of white vinegar (don't boil) in the stove for about ½ hour. The slight vinegar scent will disappear along with any food odors when you toss it out. Make your own draft block...

Prayer

I pray for guidance and understanding in all areas of our lives guidance and understanding in our spiritual walk with you in our finances, relationship. I pray that you change our lives in ways that we can't imagine. I pray that we let go of situations/certain situation tha we may try to handle ourselves and let you take over. Talk to us through out the day Lord and I pray that we both do the same. We call on you to cast those evil contrary spirits away from our souls. In you I trust. Amen

Lesson #1

SMH...these ducks of ours did it again...I am glad that I was able to have my parent conference over the phone. My little man is doing excellent...above grade level in all subjects and all O's. I love his teacher because she's old school and I mean old school. She praised me for my good works on my children mannerism and job on keeping them on the straight and narrow. I try hard and a lot on being respectful to others, respect their elders, be grateful for what you have even though you don't think its enough but it's just right, don't look at others as if they're better than you inspite they may think they are because they have more and trust me I know the difference  between having things you want and not having things you want. If you're okay with having the things that you need then eventually you have the things you want. STAY FOCUS!!!

Easy DIY Warm & Welcoming Fall Home Decor

Michaels sell these meduim and large wreaths that are insanely overprice if you ask me. a friend of mines and I went to Micheals to pick up a few items for my business and home. I had to hurry before their 'Lowest price of the season' sale ended for a few fall items for muah, Cre8tivNess!. During this week before the Fall season that is now here 9.22.2014, I invited Cre8tivNess and Pinterest over for some easy diy Fall decor. :) I tallied $ to create what you see in these pictures vs. if I was to invest in someones else labor and then price of product itself. If I can hotglue, modgepod, decoupage a few items that I most likely already have lying around the house, then its time for Cre8tivNess to show off her craftiNess.  Let me give credit to the following inspirations.   Pratically Functional  for the Fall Floral Candle Centerpiece can be use aslo as a small Fall wreath on wall/outside entry door. Inspired by Michaels & Biglots pricing that I rather put my Cr...

The Shocking Truth About Our Mallard

This is so crazy! Just to think all this time we thought we knew what we had just a few days shy of 5 months old. My oldest son said "hey mom, 'Chill is a male (our duck) and told us the signs. Myself, and the two youngest were shaking our heads in sarcastic disbelief. Debating the whole time on how she's not. He gave us the signs of the beak and feet, that don't have nothing to do with the gender and the tail is nowhere being curled at the end. Lol! So one by one we go check out Chill and I was like okay who put gel on the tail because it happened t be curled. That was not there yesterday (we pay very close attention to our ducks). Addition to this which really wasn't anything until now, Lizzy was sharing with me two days ago that Chill feathers were turning gray. However, there's one sign of knowing that we had a Mallard drake all this time but it never register to us when we were learning about our ducks previously...we were just knowing that a c...
