Homemade Febreeze

I can't believe how expensive Febreeze is.  My homemade laundry detergent works so well that I decided to make my own Febreeze.  It's a very simple recipe.



1/8 cup of fabric softener
2 tbs. of baking soda
hot tap water

Pour all ingredients into a plastic spray bottle.  Shake the bottle to mix.  Use anyplace that you would normally use Febreeze.  It works just as well as the real thing and I love how much money I'll be saving.

PS - always shake the bottle before spraying.

Easy Breezy Easter

Easter does not feel like a holiday to me.  We do not celebrate Easter, per se, at my church; instead we celebrate the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus every Sunday when we take communion.  My kids are grown so there are no Easter eggs or Easter baskets - no jelly beans or chocolate bunnies.

When I got home from church, my sister and I went to the beach.  I've lived in Florida for 25 years and I only live about 10 miles from the beach, but I'm not a big beach person.  It was a beautiful day to go.   It was sunny and cool and relatively uninhabited.  I got some nice conch shells and a few pieces of sea glass.  Sea glass is tough to find; the pieces I found are small and I'm going to see if I can make a necklace out of them.  I also found my very first shark's tooth.  My sister has a knack for finding shark's teeth.  Anyways, we came home with a small handful of them.

Afterwards, we went to Dairy Queen and got a couple of large blizzards - yum!  After that, we came home and took a nap.  What a perfect day!

Pinterest

My daughter introduced me to Pinterest and I love it.  Some people think it's just an artsy fartsy site or a design wannabe site, but it's more than that.  Creating your own boards and pinning & re-pinning items allows your friends, family, and the world insight into who you are as a person.  It lets me be totally me and that is very cool.
