Did you know I LOVE disinfectant spray? I do. It's a simple reason really. It totally destroys germs, and the cold and flu bugs. Why wouldn't I love it?! Seeing that I have 4 kids who seem to get to get sick every cold and flu season, I try to keep those germs out of...

I went years only using liquid laundry detergent. I never realized that a powder detergent could be just effective and store longer than their liquid counterpart. Since powder detergent is easier to travel with than liquid, I decided it would be convenient to make one...

What is the best liquid laundry detergent ever? Everyone has their favorite and unfortunately every single one has a pretty large price tag on it. The cost just adds to the torture since laundry is the never-ending chore. I was in need of a cheap homemade laundry...

While we all want to go a little greener these days, finding a natural fabric softener that doesn't cost an arm and a leg is quite difficult. Not only are the name brand bottles of softener so expensive, but all of the laundry products are so pricey! I have been on a...

Have you seen the prices of ammonia free glass cleaner lately? Wow! It is so expensive. Over $4 for just one bottle! I was astounded the last time I had to purchase a bottle and my gut just sank. Buying my family good quality food is something we really strive for, so...

There are several furniture pieces in my home that I love, my leather sofa and my leather office chair. While they are great, they seem to get the most dirt, and I'll admit, coffee spills from me especially on my office chair. We paid the extra money to buy the bottle...
