(There is also a 41 second video at bottom of post where I remove the color from egg.) I was coloring eggs and decided that I didn’t want the color that I put on the egg. I thought it would be so cool to uncolor the egg and recolor it. So, I thought about all the experiments that we do for homeschool science experiments and came up with a cool idea to take the color off the egg. Of course, {Read More}
Do-It-Yourself Ideas with Homemade Simple TV
April 17, 2014 by 8 Comments
Whenever I watch TV, it’s always a DIY, Cooking, or a show from the “olden days.” So, I was definitely excited about watching Home Made Simple TV that comes on OWN network. Home Made Simple TV airs on Saturdays at 9:00 a.m. EST and is hosted by Soleil Moon Frye. I knew I would love the show. Why wouldn’t I? I’m a Do-it-Yourself girl. I love making, creating, and remaking items. So, this is my kind-of-show. I watched
Make Your Own Homemade Carpet Freshener
April 8, 2014 by 15 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
Growing Potatoes in a Bag!
April 1, 2014 by 21 Comments
I’m so excited to try my hand at growing potatoes in a bag this year! I have a raised garden bed, also. Due to the amount of space, I decided to try growing the potatoes in a bag this year. My other vegetables that I am planting will be grown in the garden bed. I’m planning on planting onions, tomatoes, squash and……a blackberry bush (somewhere in the backyard). I normally plant the vegetables or fruits that we eat on a
Neat Way to Remove Lotion Remaining at Bottom of Containers
March 23, 2014 by 52 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 Flavored Butter
March 15, 2014 by 24 Comments
I was making oatmeal today and decided that it would be a great thing to have flavored butter to put into it. Well, actually, when I make oatmeal, I put in a little cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter to liven up the taste. So, I decided to just combine my favorite flavors into a homemade butter. I always wanted to make homemade
Cabbage Cooked in Chicken Stock
March 8, 2014 by 22 Comments
Whether you like cabbage as a side dish or as a main dish (which is how I like it), you’ll love it even more if it’s cooked in a tasty chicken broth or stock. Sometimes, I will have a meal with just greens and cornbread, cabbage and cornbread or any type of beans with cornbread. Today, I wanted cabbage. To really enjoy cabbage, I cook it in chicken stock/broth. It gives it that savory flavor. So delicious! If you
Homemade Sock Drawer Divider
March 2, 2014 by 53 Comments
(Video tutorial included at end of post.) How many of you are tired of your junkie (unorganized) sock drawer? I was folding clothes and was about to put away the socks and I realized that I was totally tired of having a junkie sock drawer. It was so hard to find a pair of socks to put on each day. Not to mention, the socks were never paired up to its match. (I must admit that I throw them in {Read More}
Making a Bufferin Bucket List
February 27, 2014 by
This is not the first time I’ve made a bucket list. I made a bucket list a very long time ago. I’ve always wanted to do certain things in my life. I don’t have a certain time limit for completing the items on my bucket list. I’m just interested in getting them crossed off my list at some point during my life time. Why? It’s really a fun thing to do. I think everyone should have a bucket list, even {Read More}
