Quick and easy recipe to de freeze your windows

As I waited and waited for my windows to defrost this morning it was going extra slow! I remembered I had pinned an article on how to defrost your windows in the ice. It's quick and super easy! Get a spray bottle pour 2/3s vinegar and 1/3 water shake and then spray, voila I made it in like 2 mins sprayed it on my windows used my wipers and was good to go!

Homemade hand soap!

Project hand soap complete! I managed to make my own hand soap from a recipe I found online. It's certainly a cheaper process and the hardest part is grating the bar of soap, Def an interesting process....

What you will need:
A bar of soap (type doesn't matter). I used yardly oatmeal and almond smells really good!
Glycerin 1 and 1/2 tablespoons ( I was unfamilar with this item to it is a skin protectant and softener I found it at walmart near the vitamins)
15 cups of water


DIRECTIONS:
Grate the whole bar of soap, then put the soap bar flakes, the water and the glycerin in a large pot and heat on low- medium heat stir it up and let it heat until all the flakes dissolve. Takes ab 5 mins once they dissolve let it keep on heat  for 1 more minute then remove from heat.

Let it cool for a while I let mine sit a few hours and when we got back home it was congealed then i used a mixer and mixed it up until it became liquidly again. Then I took a funnel and poured It into an old soap container be careful pouring I wasted probably 1/3 of the mix while pouring because it kept spilling out but I still made a whole container and a third of another one with this mix.

Here is my finished product (after spilling a ton of the soap!)

My Mama's meatloaf recipe....

Last night we had some friends over and had meatloaf, and green bean casserole their little boy enjoyed the meatloaf and wanted his mom to get the recipe from me so I promised I'd put it on my blog! Even if you're not usually a meatloaf fan this is just like a big cheeseburger and it's delicious! This is my moms recipe she always used....

Mama's meatloaf recipe:

Take 2 lbs of hamburger and mix in 2 eggs, some onion salt, salt, and pepper, and 1/2 cup- 1 cup of regular bread crumbs (put a little bread crumbs in at a time until you get a good consistency where you can mold the meat loaf). When you finish take a glass pan and make a rectangle out of hamburger sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese then fold the rectangle in half, seal the ends very good or else all the cheese will run out! Then coat the top of meatloaf in ketchup. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes! Enjoy....

Mommy's Cleaning Schedule...

So I learned very quickly after having Parker I can't deep clean the house all at once within a day or two, so I found myself picking up on a daily basis and deep cleaning the kitchen on a regular basis but I felt like that was all I had time to do and the rest of the house was never getting deep cleaned.  So I decided to make myself a monthly cleaning calendar and now I am trying to focus on the one room a day instead of overwhelming myself by knowing the whole house needs to be cleaned and not having time to get all of it done so in result nothing gets done.  This calendar helps me to know I have one room or two at most in a day to clean and its a do-able goal I can tackle each day.  This is what it looks like (without the colors and pictures to go along with it):
