I finally sent out this year’s Christmas cards – digitally. We’re goin’ greener (and cheaper) this year. We used Hallmark’s Smilebox and I was pretty pleased. Every year I want to include pictures of the boys in our cards, but by the time I get the pics made, I end up not printing enough or [...]

More Vinegar Love
A good write-up on natural cleaning for those interested – I’m so thankful she mentioned the use of essential oil in water for a Febreze effect – I’ve had a hard time finding how to make my own!
