A New Bed

Garden Bed :)

I told my husband I wanted an herb garden so he went outside and threw some scraps of wood together and built me two new raised beds out in the front yard. I added some plants (lavender, basil, thyme, dill, fennel, parsley) and now we're going to divide the beds into sections so the plants can't spread too far and take over the little bed.


These are a few photos of the process that's just begun.

The Coolest Cleaner Ever

Most cleaning products are toxic and/or expensive. However there is one household item you can use to clean just about everything:

Vinegar.

My mother used to clean the windows with an old piece of newspaper and some vinegar. She said it wouldn't streak like expensive glass cleaners.

Mom also dropped a cap full of vinegar into the wash to make clothes smell fresh.

Mom even used vinegar as a rinse for our hair after shampooing.

Plus Mom would dab some on us when we got sunburned.

She also said vinegar would get rid of spots on the carpet and stains on clothes.

It seems to me that vinegar is an amazing product we should take out of the cupboard and keep close on hand.

Tuesday Test - What Kind of a Ninja Are You?

I am a "Skilled Ninja" at least that's what this test told me.

We all want lives filled with adventure--right?

Well, I was thinking about whitewater rafting and excitement and - it made me wonder - what would I want to be if I could be anything?

Maybe a Ninja--secretive, sleuthing, and sly.
Here's a quiz so you can find out what kind of a Ninja you would be too.
