Pinterest Pre-vacation

Since I went back to the outside working world about 20 months ago, my children have been primarily  responsible for keeping up the house.  They have done well enough that we usually eat dinner on time and we can move around the house without killing ourselves either the physically or the microbiologically.  (Actually, they do a great job!)

I usually pull alternate Saturday breakfasts oppposite Gordon (he makes the AWFUL"ELY" GOOD WAFFLES) and Sunday dinner.  Well, we are out of eggs this week (I usually make Farmer's Breakfast - you know hash browns, onions, sausage and/or bacon, eggs and cheese).  Since I was on Pinterest, I garnered a recipe for breakfast this morning.

Mine doesn't look this nice, but I was doing it at 10:30pm or so last night.  Of course, because I wasn't necessarily prepared to do this, I had to tweak it.  (We're also out of milk, grrr!)  I made the half filling recommendation.  With no milk in the house, I improvised for the liquid and used lemon juice (from the bottle) instead.

This recipe is another hit!  It was easy and delicious.  I would like to try a different filling next time - say, apple or cherry or strawberry - maybe add some sliced almonds on top.

BEFORE

AFTER

Also, last night prior to going to bed, I made a concoction of 1/2 c of distilled white vinegar - warmed up in the microwave for 30 seconds and 1/2 c of Dawn dish detergent.  I squirted this concoction in my shower.  When I got around to cleaning the concoction off this morning (fairly early), it took a very little bit of elbow grease because the detergent part had dried on the walls.  The "after" picture is taken from looking THROUGH the glass shower door (and you can see the bubbles from the detergent as well as the reflection of the jar from the "before").  Next time, I will probably change the ratio to 2/3 c distilled white vinegar and 1/3 c Dawn dish detergent.









The sheets from the linen closet

The other project I tackled this morning was the linen closet.  Now, you must understand that my 3B is VERY organized.  She is my go to person for organization.  But the linen closet seems to escape her.










  I found this idea on Pinterest of putting sheets together.  http://www.imperfecthomemaking.com/2011/09/4-ways-to-fold-bedsheets.html



And this what I accomplished...They are all folded and those that have matches are matched together.  My folds don't look quite as neat, but this is one of the most ingenious ideas EVER!  Also, I realized that some of these sheets are from our college days.  Don't ask me why we still have them.  (We do have lots of white sheets for theater reasons.)

I have done some other projects this morning, but they aren't ready to show off.  My girls have been busy keeping up with 7 children. 

This is quite the vacation.  I'm enjoying it.  Hopefully you are too. 

STAY TUNED....
