I adore this place and I encourage you to become a subscriber too. I have taken a few helpful hints directly from this site and have put them on my recipe blog. It excites me to have a book with these tips directly at my whim with a turn of a page! Yeah, I need to get out more.
I have also been obsessed with saving loads of money. I have made our own homemade laundry detergent. My sil posted a recipe on our recipe blog for it. I have a few tips that I found that work beautiful through my own research. Like if you put a capful of your own laundry detergent to each container. You will no longer have GOOP!! What a wonderful tip!
I received a swiffer mop from freecycle.com. I encourage each of you to check your own cities and see if you get this. Freecycle is where people in your city give out the same things that you would find at a garage sale or Goodwill and they give it to you free. Offers and locations come via email and you respond politely stating you would like to be the recipient. But, careful, you have to be fast or the early bird gets the worm. I have been the recipient of food storage, an elliptical, ornamental grasses for our yard, and my most recent a SWIFFER WET JET!!! I never wanted to spend the money on one of those. Needed it because we have pergo flooring. I then went directly to the store to buy floor cleaner and mop heads and was jilted with disappointment to find that they were expensive to buy considering you only get 6 wipes and the spray stunk.
I went to my trusty computer and ran search after search and tipnut.com gifted me the answer to my problems. I got out my sewing machine and whipped myself up some dust heads as well as mop heads AND found a recipe how to remove the patent cap on the swiffer bottle and to fill it with cleaning juice that smells so much better. Did you know that a dog died from licking the floor where the swiffer cleaning product was used. Do you really want to walk on that stuff??
I have also been busy with a few family shoots and some boudoir shoots for photography. I look forward to doing these. There are a few pictures updated to the photography blog. But, once taking the pictures, downloading them, editing and downloading them to the proof site and then for order. I'm sort of burnt out at sharing them to my photo blog. I have also started working a few more hours, since Mr. Incredible is home to take care of the childrens needs.
I have also shared some wonderful recipes on the recipe blog. Like how delish my homemade samoas turned out, YUMMMM YUMMM... no more Girl Scout cookies for me.

And I have the solution for your swiffer problem -- only swiffer once a month! Then a package lasts 6 months!! (Of course *I* don't do this. I'd never admit to being that lazy!)
