Toilit Cleaner

My house smells so clean and fresh, I've been making peppermint soap....OHHH it smells so good!
So I've been trying to find ways to clean the house with using little to no chemicals. This morning I finally got around to cleaning the toilets, and I had just run out of some store bought stuff.... Great time to try something new. I have a few recipes I've come across, but I like this one because it has baking soda and vinegar....and that just sounded like fun. So 1/2 cup each baking soda and vinegar, and then I added a few drops of tea tree oil to help disinfect. Dump it all in the bowl get a good brush scrub and flush....I let mine sit after I scrub it till some one needs to use it, I like to give the essential oils a chance to do it's "magic". The first time I liked it and I think I'm going to keep trying this one to see how it works over time. Let me know if there's a natural way you clean your house I'd love to try it!

it works!

Well it's been 3 days and I don't stink ...(there are people around me who would let me know) I'm very surprised how well it works! You have to get use to using it the coconut oil that holds it all together, it melts with skin contact, so you don't need to put as much on as you do with store bought deodorant . so if you want to try it (and you should): 1/4 c. baking soda 1/4 c. cornstarch and 10 drops tea tree oil (it's cleansing) you can just use that in a powder or add 2 + Tab. of coconut oil for a stick ( I melted my coconut oil in the microwave) mix it all together smash it in to an old deodorant container... Coconut oil is hard at room temperature so you can let it sit and it will firm up or.. I put mine in the freezer for a few min. to make it hard. if you don't live some were hot you can keep it in your bathroom if you have a problem with it being to soft keep it in the refrigerator... I hear you can use lavender oil as well. I have not tried it yet but...

Butter

Lately I've been very motivated to be in the kitchen. I've always enjoyed making meals from scratch...baking and cooking. I'm also very practical and frugal. I've never been good at baking bread but try every now and then. I find it silly to buy my sandwich bread, I think it's just water oil flour, but I couldn't get it just right no one would really eat it...well for sandwiches. So I came across "The Bread Bible" I read through it and just took some of her techniques ...and the first loaf of bread was great! we could put jelly, and penutbutter on it with out the bread falling apart & it cut smooth....I used my own recipe but her techniques and it was great. So now I've got bread and the best thing is my husband says he'll eat it! So to go along with it I made cinnamon and sugar butter....heaven! So simple 1/2 lb (2 sticks) butter (room temp. butter) 4 Tablespoons Sugar about 3 teaspoons cinnamon Whip it in the mixer and put it in a con...
