Rebekah Honer Doran Mission Organization

If you know me at all, you will know that I am a complete lunatic when it comes to organization. I try to be organized in everything I do. Some of it came out of necessity as I have misplaced important things or missed important deadlines, some of it is hereditary (hate to admit it but I have grown up to be like my mother) and some it just because I like it. Okay, maybe like is a little bit soft, I am obsessed, consumed with it. My life is as full as it gets with 4 kids (all boys) who play diffe… Continue

Danielle Griggs There’s A Spouse In The House!

Andi Winterfield Olive Oil for Cabinets

I decided to shine up my kitchen cabinets with olive oil and it worked great! I poured some oil on an old t-shirt rag, and rubbed it on to the cabinets. T-shirt material works nice, since it doesn't soak up too much of the oil, and it doesn't leave any lint behind. I'm loving how new my cabinets look, and that it didn't cost much to do this. Plus, there's no nasty chemical smell - just yummy olive oil! Take care! Andi Continue

Some people are just domestically challenged. (… Continue

Andi Winterfield Greening Up My Laundry

Recently I started using vinegar in the rinse cycle as a natural fabric softener, and it is working great! I have an attachment that fits on the agitator, so I add a 1/2 c. of white vinegar and 1/2 c. water to the dispenser. The clothes smell like vinegar when they're done rinsing, but once you dry them the smell is gone. It has been so nice to not have to use dryer sheets. I've also been adding 1/4 c. baking soda to my wash loads, for some extra cleaning and softening action. If you like a litt… Continue
