Do I smell vinegar?

greener cleaning!
A paste of borax and vinegar works miracles on nasty shower tiles. I'm going to try it out on my porcelain tub. I got the tip from Kim and Aggie of How Clean is Your House? fame. They have great tips that cut through serious muck.
So now my cleaning arsenal includes borax, vinegar, salt, lemon juice, olive oil, hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, and some essential oils. (tea tree oil and peppermint)
I cleaned some wood furniture today with a 1:1 mix of lemon juice/olive oil. Beautiful.

Desperately seeking Susan!

I don't have an email addy for you and I don't seem to get a response at your blog, Susan, so please email me!!

So it's been a year between updates....

I guess all I can say is that I've felt withdrawn and not really interested in sharing much.
Let me give a brief update:

• We've moved. Same city, new house.
• We bought a house.
• We're remodeling said house while living in it.
• We're remodeling another house to sell.
• We have another family member, a sweet boy, now 7months old. *smile*
• We're "interviewing" different mission sending agencies to find the right partner to go to Ukraine with. Finally heading out to the mission field after 13 years of marriage. It seems to be the right time. *smile*
• We're celebrating 13 years of marriage this August....Praise God!!! We have some great examples to look up to.
• Our daughter starts school this year - Pre-K here we come. *laugh* She's very excited.
• We've recently made some wonderful new friends. Among them are Art and Melodye, and their two boys. They blog here.
  
• We have a beautiful pear tree growing and we are trying to figure out when to pick all those pears! *laugh*

So, there's some news. Hopefully, I'll update more often again.
