"Repinning" for a Purpose
My family is going through a million different changes this year and one of them is living on one income. It is a hard ship to sail but I see the lighthouse at the end of the ocean. When I really started "repinning" for a purpose I just knew it was going to help in a plethora of ways. So, floating along Pinterest this summer I found countless amazing ideas, recipes, DIY, fashion tips, hair do's and everything else a person could ever dream of wanting to do or need to do. I thought I would start blogging on the ones that have changed my life ever so much. In no particular order, here we go!! 1. HOMEMADE LAUNDRY DETERGENT. Yes, its true and I cannot believe how drastic my grocery bill is when I don't by detergent anymore. I am making the powder version she has on her blog because I don't have anything to put the liquid detergent in yet but I will say that the powder is lasting forever and doesn't leave any residue at all. AMAZING!! h...
Wind Power
Get with the program people..and these windmills don't require you to carry them along to power anything. I asked a woman in the grocery store we stopped at what all of them powered, there were hundreds and she said they powered thousands of homes in New York and if you read the sign at the rest stop the one in the corn field and a few more could power 70,000 homes!! Can you imagine all the money we could save and jobs this could create!
end of summer bummer.
The family and I finished our last week with Shawn and our last real week of summer out of town! We went to my aunts house in Michigan and my favorite city in the world..Chicago <3 It was so nice to get away and just relax at the beach and tour a city that I could live in and almost became a bum in one winter night ;) I loved not having a schedule and staying in one of my favorite Hilton brand of hotels for next to nothing because of my husbands awesome career move! Hilton Garden Inn Magnificent Mile I posted the pics on Facebook so take a peek! So, its the end of summer. On Tuesday that girls and I will find out who their teachers are and schedule our conferences for the first day. I feel like my life is constantly changing and too quickly. From my recent hair changes (I have bangs and I love them) to my oldest child starting fourth grade. ugh My heart breaks just thinking about it. This week is going to be filled with a lot of getting back to early bed...
