My favorite new cleaner....this is some crazy stuff

So one day we were in the dollar store, and hubby was looking for some cleaner for his rims on his car. He looked over the cleaners and picked this one. Then when he decides to clean his rims he calls for me to look over and see how well it cleaned his tires. I thought to myself hmmm I wonder what else this stuff can work it's magic on. So I have been experimenting around the house (Lord knows there is plenty of mess going on on my house) So now I'm in love with this dollar item. I washes permanent marker off the walls
Thanks to Asher, we always have something interesting  to clean. This is his art work on his sisters wall.
So after I sprayed this amazing dollar item on on the wall and gently wiped
Tada
Oh wait there's more

Asher struck again but this time with strawberries in my carpet so I brought out "LA Totally Awesome" and sprayed again gently rubbed and..

Seriously I'm in love....Watch out dollar store I am buying you out on this stuff, I can only imagine the mess ahead of me with 5 kids. Just might have to where this stuff in a gun holder around my waist....Ye haw

Bring Peace Home...part 3




I usually don't write on the weekend so forgive me for being a couple of days late. Here is the last part of the series of Bring Peace Home. Enjoy

Get enough sleep...According to Harvard researchers, lack of sleep can affect learning, memory, and even the ability to make good choices. So be good and get those zzzzz's

Learn to say no....This hard for some more then others. It was for me for a while but now I understand I don't have to do everything to please everyone else. We all get requests for our time, money, attention, and emotional energy. Learn to say yes only to the requests in line with who God has created you to be, not others expectations of you.

Confess a known sin...I don't mean go airing your dirty laundry to everyone, but as a believer in Christ, sometimes it's easy to take for granted the gift of the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit calls your attention to sin in your life can be as simple as a tug in your heart that something your doing is giving you a uneasiness, then confess the sin, and move on.

If you are able visit a spa...if you can't afford a spa maybe just a manicure. Something that makes you stop for a little while and makes you feel pretty...quick boast

Take food to your neighbor...We've done this a few times when we make cookies or rolls I have sent it over to the neighbors via my children.

Make comfort food....I am writing this thinking about my friend's post on facebook that she made Beef stew and oh how I love comfort food. There is a reason why they are called comfort food, so with these colder months go ahead make that beef stew, your favorite soup, or what ever it is that makes you feel warm and cozy inside.

Lastly for my series...Sow seeds of peace...."Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness" James 3:18

So there you have it my series of Bring Peace Home...what do you do to bring peace to where you are?
