Green Cleaning...Recipes

Posted in Blog Links


If you're interested in 'green' cleaning, then you must check out this post over at Down To Earth (Rhonda) on how to make your own homemade cleaners. The post was from January of 2008, but I just discovered this wonderful blog a couple of days ago via another great blog called Homespun Living that I've been following for quite a while. I think I first found Deb's blog when I  began knitting dishcloths.

And today, Deb (at Homespun Living) also has a neat recipe for Lime Body Scrub...I think I gotta try this one! Also, be sure and scroll down on her blog to find out how she and her husband made their own maple syrup. I loved how they made a little 'sugar shack' out of stacked logs!

I hope you all have a blessed day, and if I can, I want to participate in Kelli's Show and Tell later...I've missed that one for a long time!

BTW, I haven't been updating my walking progress, but after I recovered from the m/c...I got going again. I'll have to update. But y'all, it's been like SUMMERTIME in mid-March here...and that spell H-O-T!!! Yesterday, I had to walk early in the morning to avoid the heat of mid-afternoon.

Take care and I hope to be back later!

This Blog


I'm a very happily married pastor's wife, former schoolteacher-turned-homeschool mom of six wonderful blessings, and freelance writer--and we live in the great state of Georgia! I'm a southern girl through and through...but most importantly, I'm a child of the King! We have just finished up our twelfth year of homeschooling, and our two oldest have now graduated! This is my place to record thoughts about homemaking, Classical-Charlotte Mason based homeschooling, writing around the fringes of family life, and more...so welcome to my little corner of the world!
