Here you will find tips to save you time in the kitchen, quick clean-up tricks for when you have unexpected guests, fixing fashion flaws, travel ideas, and an assortment of randomness.
Learn how to clean your oven glass with two simple ingredients. No harsh chemicals involved and the best part is that most of you already have these items on hand.

Make your own rag rug. Made from scrap fabric, this rug is made just like the ones your grandma used to make. You won't believe how simple it is.

love what you are writing. thank you. two kids here, very different, one boy one girl but as you indicate in your life, amazing how different and yet wonderfully so they can and at this point in our lives only one dog (a weim....may as well be three dogs!) we have had three dogs, three cats and our lovely canary. my best friend lives in phx. I am going to alert her to your blog.
ReplyDeletelove the off the grid stuff....know that intimately as we lived that way in the summer at our cottage on an island in North western Ontario Canada when i was a child. i think its important to know how to live like that.
thanks..i will check in again.
Your site looks great. Looking forward to discovering more on your blog! I'm a visitor from the UBP, btw.
ReplyDeleteI think you are absolutely adorable and sound like a fantastic person whom I would most likely love to be friends with. :) It also helps that my husband is also in the military so I felt drawn to you right away, haha. I loved reading your household tips blogs and can't wait to share them with my mom tomorrow (she is normal and already in bed by now). I did not know 99% of the tips, and the 1% I did know was learned recently (as in, the past 3 months or less) by other bloggers and Pinterest. Thank you and can't wait to read more!
ReplyDeleteluuuu-uuuu-uuuv it - you are awesome - makes me happy to read
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog spot and have enjoyed what I've read so far. Sounds like a great family you've built with your "Mr. Wonderful". (I have one too.) Love all the repurposing ideas and the fact that you're living off grid. And making $$$ from your blog!
ReplyDeleteWe're living in Panama', so the life style is a bit different than AZ (my third favorite place after home-state CA). If you're interested in seeing how we're living, check out our blog. There are usually weekly blog updates. We're building a shipping container home in the tropical mountains, on the rim of an extinct volcano.

Hello DIY home sweet home,
ReplyDeleteI happened here by way of pinterest with your oven cleaning tip. Thanks for that!
Love for you to pop over to my blog and take a look around. I am an artist and I do have a penchant for illustrating "home sweet homes, pets, and more."
Wishing you lots of sweetness.
best-
