Green Cleaning

So today I felt like cleaning our finger print smudged
windows.  To my surprise, I was completely out of window
cleaner.  I did not want to run to the store just for glass
cleaner, but at the same time, I did not want this June Cleaver
moment to leave me.  So I googled homemade glass
cleaner.  You would be amazed at how many there are.
So I chose one and whipped up a batch of glass cleaner:

1 cup rubbing alcohol
1 cup water
1 tbsp vinegar

I am amazed at how well it works and how much
cheaper it was than a bottle of Windex.
I think as I begin running out of cleaners, I may try
some other homemade concoctions.

If you know of other household cleaning recipes,
please let me know the recipe in the comment section.

Happy Green Cleaning Everyone.

My friend has mixed up a batch of homemade laundry detergent from the Duggers Website (that family with like 18 kids) --- I've been meaning to go look and try it myself! She says it works good and it's a lot cheaper - so that should motivate me! (:

Wahoo! I think you are a genius, I have been doing this too and am happy with the results. Also, I have the recipe for laundry detergent too if you want it. I ahve already gone through one batch. It works well, although I might need a white brightener, cuz I am not sure it is doing it's job on white clothes as well. (I'll have to test this out and report for later.)

I use the detergent off the Simple Dollar website- not sure how it is different, but it works well for me. I do use Oxi-Clean with my whites, but I was doing that before with my regular detergent, so I can't tell you how it does on its own. The only problem is tracking down washing soda... anyone around here know where I can find it? I finally found it in one grocery store back in Arizona, but no luck here so far.

Girls Camp

 This year, Savannah got to attend her very first girls camp. Here she is with Morgan, another first timer.  Not sure how Savannah would have done without Sister Skroski. She showed Savannah the ropes and really took care of her in my absence.  Savannah all excited to leave. I can only guess what these last few pictures are. Savannah had a great time and Larry was there as a priesthood chaperone so she was not completely alone. This summer was a summer of firsts for my girl. She had her first girls camp, her first youth Temple trip and her first talk in sacrament. Wow!

Tennessee Adventures with the Hurts

 This summer, Ethan was able to go to Denzil's for 2 weeks. Of course he had a blast, and came back a new boy. He learned to ride a bike, and came home darker if that s at all possible. To drop Ethan off, we met Jason & Sheba , in Knoxville. Sheba's GPS found this neat park in rather a shady area of Knoxville. Emalene is a good model, always willing to pose when I say smile.  Here is my little Ruby in deep concentration.  Ethan did not even look back when he left me.  Gator with the big boys.  Emalene in her favorite color, and Ruby in hers. How cute are they?  A group shot at the drop off.  These monkey bars, kept the kids entertained for a while. Each one tried to make it across. Not sure any succeeded.  Here is Gator trying to reach.  Finally he found a sucker.  Look at him hang by himself.  Denzil looks very unsure about this. We thought we could get a group shot, but the wheel kept spinning and little arms got tired.  The two amigos.  A group shot at t
