Natural Glass Cleaner

I have found a new hobby of researching natural and frugal living.  I think there are a lot of chemicals out there that are unhealthy to be exposed to.  So, in any way I can, I choose the natural route.  A lot of times it saves me money too, which is always a plus! 

For awhile I have been using vinegar to clean my windows and mirrors but wasn’t loving the smell and it was making me sneeze.  (That’s another thing…a lot of cleaning products make me sneeze, I think I am developing allergies.)  So, I came across an option that works much better for me.  So simple and cheap!  Here it is…

Natural Glass Cleaner  - Water and Lavender Oil

Yep, that’s it!  I just fill up an empty spray bottle and add about 10 drops of lavender.  I love it!  My house smells so good when I am done too.  I have had no problems with streaks at all, so this is what I am sticking with! 

Tulips in Holland

Michigan is well known for crazy, unpredictable weather.  It’s true!  Really, you never know what to expect living here.  Especially when it’s changing from winter to spring.  One day it’s 80 degrees and the next day it’s snowing.  Kind of annoying, but I have to say since we moved to Holland from way up north (where we had drive your tractor to school day in high school and farms EVERYWHERE)  I have enjoyed very much the change from winter to spring.  Here’s why:

Aren’t they pretty?  Tulips are my favorite flower!  Holland is known as the “tulip town” because there are tulips everywhere.  My husband took these pictures when we were shopping downtown.  Tulips of every color line the streets of Holland and lots of people have them in their yards.  Makes getting over winter much easier when these pretty flowers bloom.  Too bad they can’t stay longer…

Sweet Baby Booties

Have I ever mentioned that I love custom orders? 

These  pink booties are a custom order that have become one of my favorite!  I love it when my customers pick out fabric that I might not have thought of using.

A LOT of Little Washies

This is why my Etsy shop is empty:

          DSC05401

I had a wholesale order of 30 sets of Little Washies.  150 washies in just over a week!  Crazy!  Now I am working on another wholesale order.  (Not as many though.)  I LOVE wholesale orders!  The down side is I don’t feel like I get anything else done.  By the end of the day I don’t even feel like cooking dinner.  My poor husband!  He is so patient and loves that I am doing what I love. 

So beginning next week my shop will be getting full again.  Yay!   Bring on the custom orders!  I love those too!
