I bought two of these (from infomercial, do not go that route way too expensive that way.) I am very pleased with product. I use it almost every night to do my kitchen and bathroom floors. It is so nice to not be using chemicals and still having a clean floor. Plus I love that pads are washable, as opposed to disposable.

Does anyone else own one?

I so want one of these

I want a rain barrel made from recycled plastic or something recycled. I think this will save on my water bill as last summer I was watering my garden every day.

Do you have a rain barrel? Is it worth it?

Trying my seeds again

Even though last year none of the plants I started from seed lasted in my garden, I am trying again.

I just started from seed (all organic seeds and soil:)

basil
zucchini
beets
cucumbers
peppers
eggplant

I also have spinach, wheat grass, and 3 types of tomatoes that I need to start as well.

Here is what I have spent so far:

$7.99 seed starting tray with lid
$5.00 organic soil
$8.00 organic seed starting soil
$3.49 basil seeds
$1.89 pepper seeds
$2.69 eggplant seeds
$2.69 wheat grass seeds
$3.49 tomato seeds (one type only)
$3.99 spinach seeds
$37.00 rest of seeds (bought online, with shipping)

$76.23

Plus I still have to buy organic compost (since my own compost is not ready) and mulch for when the seeds are ready to plant.

That will be about $100 for all. Pray my seeds work and I do not have to spend more money on plants in May. If I get a good harvest then $100 is a good price. Also pray Kaiden stays out of my trays that are in my kitchen. He has already discovered the dirt.

Will you have a garden this year? If yes what are you planting? Do you start with seeds or do you buy plants? Do you buy all organic?

p.s. I bought these seeds.

Praise the Lord

All March bills (including April 1st rent) are paid in full.

Praise the Lord!!!

The bad news is I used my credit card this month and it is not paid in full. It should be by the end of April though. I bought two Shark Vac then Steam's. One is for my business, so I don't have to lug dustbuster, stick vac (which mine broke), and mop. This product does the work of all of these plus steams the floor killing germs without chemicals (since my cleaning business is Green Clean that is a plus.) I also ordered some toilet brushes (I don't want to use same one at each job, so I ordered one for each job.) I ordered ones made in America because I am sick of all business going overseas. (But this made them $9 each, plus shipping.)

So in addition to my mortgage I have $400 in debt. But like I said I hope to have it paid in full by the end of April (I hate debt.)

How are your March bills?

Support a small business

If you like marshmallows, you have to check out this site.
They are homemade by a 7 year old boy. He is so cute. He started making and selling them at 5. He even donates 10% of his profits to charity.

I ordered two bags and they arrived today. One bag is already gone. We even made a fire tonight to roast some. Yum!

I can not say it enough, GO ORDER SOME!!!

Yesterday

Yesterday was 70 something degrees outside. It was so nice. The boys played outside all day. I had Kaiden so he got to play outside most of day as well. He loved it.

The boys cleaned the yard of "waste", and fixed the trampoline and cleaned all the leaves off it. Then they jumped on it with friends and cousins for some time.

At 5:00 Josh had soccer practice. He has a game today and he gets to be the goalie, so he was practicing being goalie last night.

After soccer we went to our deacon's house for dinner. They made the best chicken over rice, with spinach. Even my boys enjoyed it (Josh had like 7 pieces of chicken.)
After chocolate cake the boys played pool with the men and the other ladies and I chatted. It was so nice. I have not hung out with friends in such awhile (outside my house.)

Today we have soccer and then work.

Tonight I hope to have a fire outside, but we will see.

Have a great day!
