Tuesday’s To Do’s

It looks like it is going to be a busy day, and the weather is freezing and windy, great. I’ve got a few more cleaning tasks to do around the house, and the kiddos and I are running a few errands too. Here is the plan for today:

  • Go to Walgreens! This week they have their brand of Diapers and Pull-Ups on sale for just $5.99, I’m stocking up on these necessities
  • I need to do a little more research for my Nico in the Pursuit of Savings series, so I’ll be checking out1-2 stores today
  • Thade has Soccer Practice at 5:45 p.m. today, we’ll see if he is feeling up to it
  • I have 6 loads of laundry to put away, none to wash though, all caught up!
  • I have to deep clean the upstairs bathroom, and get rid of all of those flu-bug germs, this is a task that I am dreading today…
  • Get an Oil Change in my car, hubby might have an out of town meeting this week, and I need to make sure that my car is ready to go. I also need to clean it out too 😉

We’ll see if the weather cooperates today, it is awfully windy at the moment. Have a great day everybody!

Washing the Washer

Well I’m finally finished (fingers crossed) with washing all of the flu laundry. I had one more cleaning task at hand though, I needed to sterilize the washer. I wanted to try a Green method of cleaning the washer, so I decided to use the White Vinegar that I had purchased for dying the Easter Eggs.

I set the Water Temp on Hot, the load size on Small, and I added in 1/2 cup of White Vinegar to the washer and to the fabric softener cup. I then ran an imaginary load of laundry in the washer 😉 I’m still getting used to the smell of the White Vinegar, I must admit it isn’t one of my favorites, but it got the job done! The washer is sparkling clean, and I know it is healthier too 😉 I’ll definitely use the White Vinegar to clean up around the house more often, I just hope that my nose will cooperate 😉

Do you have any Greener Cleaner tips to share?

HAPPY EASTER!

 

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful Easter. The morning started bright and early today, with Thade ready to go and find all of the Eggs. He had so much fun, and he has already eaten way too much candy 😉 Happy Easter!

I’ve Been Tagged

My dear friend Marva over at Blessed Frugalness Times Two With Twins tagged me earlier in the week. I have to tell you, I’ve had quite a time coming up with 10 things to share about me… So here it goes:

  1. I love to move to a new house and a new town, it is hard for me to stay put in just one place for too long
  2. I’m a cat person, and a huge NASCAR fan!
  3. The first time that I dyed my hair I was only six years old, it was the only way that my Mom could get me to go to the First Grade
  4. My Brother Rob is my best friend, and one of the most amazing people that I know. I feel very lucky to have such a super cool Brother 🙂
  5. I was voted “most unique” at my high school
  6. My hubby and I met in a Rock Band, I was the Bassist and Lead Singer and he was the Super-cute Drummer ( he also plays Bass, Guitar, and he can sing too, he is a quadruple threat)
  7. I will only paint my finger nails and toe nails one color- Jet Black, they just seem too look the best that way 😉
  8. I love to eat Sushi, but the boy’s aren’t a fan
  9. I used to be a vegetarian, I miss it sometimes
  10. With both pregnancies I was hoping for a Boy, and I love being a Mommy to my awesome and crazy boys!

I’m going to tag my buddy Susan over at the Blahblahblog 🙂 Have a great weekend 🙂
