I like for my bathrooms to have a nice fresh scent. So, I made these specifically for my bathroom. I figured with such a closed-end space that these magnetic air fresheners would work best in that size room. They were

Making Gigantic Bubbles!
April 27, 2014 by 34 Comments
I must admit that I had so much fun making these gigantic bubbles. The kids loved seeing them, also. It’s getting warmer and you know it’ll soon be summer. This little activity will definitely keep the kids entertained. When I first thought about making huge bubbles, I was going to try and make it from this tubing material that I had at home. Then, I
Make Your Own Homemade Carpet Freshener
April 8, 2014 by 12 Comments
I have been using Homemade Carpet Freshener for years. So, today I decided to include it on my blog. Whenever I make carpet freshener, I will sometimes make air freshener. I use most of the same ingredients with a little special addition for the Homemade Air Freshener. I really like this homemade carpet freshener. Plus, I have a dog and I really don’t like using the store-bought carpet freshener due to the fact that she’s
Neat Way to Remove Lotion Remaining at Bottom of Containers
March 23, 2014 by 49 Comments
Why does so much lotion remain at the bottom of the containers? The pump stops pumping, but you can tell by the weight of the container that there is still a lot of lotion in the container. Obviously, the pump is not long enough or designed in such a way that it will pump up all the lotion. So, in our house, we do the obvious. At least, I do. You know…take the pump off and hit it in your {Read More}
Homemade Glass Cleaner
February 8, 2014 by 65 Comments
I ran out of Windex cleaner for the mirrors in the bathroom. I could run out quickly and get some but it’s cold and I hate to run an errand for only one or two items. So, I’m making a glass cleaner to clean the mirrors. Glass cleaner is not that expensive to purchase, but I found out that it’s not that expensive to make, either. Plus, when you’re in a pinch, you can easily make it at home with {Read More}
How to Make a Punch Ball Globe
December 19, 2013 by 9 Comments
Today, I’m showcasing one of my daughter’s homeschool projects. (For history buffs, Africa is upside down on the picture. Somebody glued it upside down. It was a little too late to tear off and glue again. My daughter said that it just means that Africa is going places in this world. Love it!) This is a simple project to make, but it does take awhile to finish it. It’s great if you’re teaching about continent
New Twist on Homemade Powdered Laundry Detergent
September 27, 2013 by 93 Comments
I finally got around to making the homemade powdered laundry detergent. On the internet, I’ve seen many recipes for making laundry detergent. As always, I try to put a different spin on whatever homemade product I’m attempting. So, instead of purchasing any additional items for this product, I used what I
How To Make Homemade Dishwasher Detergent Cubes
April 10, 2013 by 128 Comments
I definitely enjoyed trying this! How neat! I must say that this is one of my How-To favorites. Why? Well, this one comes in really handy for me. We don’t use the dishwasher to wash dishes that often. I, or the kids, normally do them by hand. So, I don’t usually buy a lot of dishwasher detergent. (That’s an item that is quite expensive.) We have
Repairing Your iPod from Water Damage
December 3, 2012 by 5 Comments
My daughter actually inspired this post. She accidentally dropped the ipod in the tub one day. Instead of telling us that she dropped it in the tub, she searched the internet for answers to solve her problem. (She thought she would be in serious trouble). Love when the children use the internet for things beside watching videos. She found this experiment online. She put it in brown rice for three days. She covered the entire iPod. After three days, she {Read More}
