Project Pinterest - Homemade Window Cleaner

I've always been intrigued with homemade products that are, nowadays, typically bought at the store.

You know....soap, laundry detergent, and of course window cleaner.

I came across the blog, Crunchy Betty, that had tried and tested a handful of window cleaner recipes.

Naturally, I tried the winner of her home test!

The first time I used it, it was not impressive.

But then I learned that I needed to wipe my mirrors and windows dry.

That made it Awesome!

Now when I need window cleaner, not only am I saving a trip to the store which equals time and gas, I'm saving money, and it's made from items in my pantry...mostly.

Win-Win-Win!

Head over to Crunchy Betty for the recipe!


What did you make this week?!

Our Pet Tin Tin

We recently adopted a pet or rather it adopted us.

It was technically a stray I suppose.

It (she?) kept coming to our backdoor and made herself at home.

Rowan was all too eager to name her Tin Tin.

I can only assume she got the name from the movie, which we've not seen.

Here she is!
Tin Tin is, as far as I can tell, a green anole lizard.
...aka: Texas Chameleon...

She can be green...

...or brown!
{how cool is that?!}
And although this image is terribly blurry, you can see how she 'drinks' water...
isn't her little tongue so cute?!


She is super small...maybe 5 inches in total length...and has lived on our grill for a while.
The past two days have been super cold, so we haven't seen her around.
I'm assuming she went somewhere to get warm.
And I'm hoping when the warm weather returns, so will she.



Oh....and we also have a squatter...

Project Pinterest - Stairway Gallery

I'm waiting to post my project for the week for two reasons...

1. I haven't photographed it yet and now I need to wait for halfway decent lighting.

2. My inspiration pin doesn't have a link to the original source. And I'm not going to use a picture without giving credit. 

Well, I could not, for the life of me, find the original source of the image I wanted to share with you. So I found this one instead, as it's fairly close to the other one. It comes from The Creative Imperative.

Here's my take on the stairway gallery...except mine isn't done yet.
I still have some 'holes' to fill, but can't decide if I want more pictures or decorations of some sort.

I'm excited to see what all of you have been up to, you crafty divas you!

Rowan and Stuff

Last week Rowan and I went to the local arboretum.
It was fun and they had a TON of flowers and plants!


Rowan got her workout in...


I got some photography in...


we found many rolly pollies...


and played pirates with some cool tree bark.
"Arg!"

A few days ago Rowan and I explored the trail near our house.

She rode her scooter...



blew weed seeds all over the ditch...




found new additions for her ever growing rock collection...




and we both came home with a nature collection.



I'm hoping to actually have some shots of Breck next week, since it's Spring Break!!
