About Me

Rural, GA, United States
I'm an army wife, working mom of 2 kids.! My husband Tim is a Soldier In the army. I work for MWR for the Community Recreation Division as an admin assistant...I absolutely LOVE my job I couldn't have found anything better! My daughter, Kennedie, was born in January of 04 and our son, Cale, was born June of 09. Kennedie is VERY involved in dancing, she is in her 11th season (2019-2020) of being a competitive dancer. It's exhausting but we LOVE it. Cale is starting to REALLY get into sports. He is on a year round wrestling team, and he plays baseball in the spring! This blog started out as a recipe sharing venture but now it's going to turn into a more "granola" way to live. Cheap recipes more homemade recipes and re-purposing things. I'm a crafter at heart so I'm going to throw some of that in there too! On Valentines Day of 2017 we bought our first Travel Trailer. I'll be documenting our travels also on this blog!

homemade disinfection wipes

I used 2 xlarge t-shirts that had a design on the upper front part of the shirt - so I was able to use the whole back of the shirt and the bottom half of the front.  I got about 10-12 cloths out of each shirt depending on how I cut it.  Because I got a new serger 3 weeks ago I know serge EVERYTHING that I can. I serged the edges so they wouldn't unravel over time.

Here is all the ingredients I used to create the wipes.

1 1/2 cups HOT water
1/4 cup vinegar
few drops of dish soap
few drops of essential oil or in my case candle scent.
 I stuffed mine into the bucket so they would be easy to get out when I needed one. (this is my first set i realized after I mixed everything I had excess solution and needed that other shirt)
 Pour in your hot water and vinegar....
 add your few drops each of oil and dish soap
 SHAKE IT UP!!!!!
 And it's ready for use!

Natural drain unclogger

I'm embarassed to show you what my shower looked like from the standing water that has made it take almost 30 minutes to drain.  But this is what it looked like before
 Then you add 1:1 parts of baking soda and vinegar.  My drain was so clogged it would only hold 1/4 cup of baking soda.  Once you get all the baking soda into the drain - you pour the vinegar on and close the drain up. 
 It will bubble and fiz - leave the drain closed for about 30 minutes and let the fizzies do the work.  This helped break up the nastiest in my drain and I was able to pull out the hair from the drain with a cheapy paintbrush (what I had on hand that was long and thin)  now my drain is free flowing!
Now i can show you a sparkly clean tub that is something to be proud of!
