Pintip: Sweet Aroma

Do you ever have those moments where no matter how clean your house is you still feel like it doesn't smell great? I've been having one of those moments... All weekend. It's been driving me crazy! So I decided to try a Pin that I saw, on Pinterest of course.

It's working great! My home is already smelling so good.

All you need is:

• Fresh Rosemary ( a few sprigs)
• 1 Lemon 
• 2 tbs Vanilla Extract

Directions:

Fill a pot 2/3 of the way with water. 

Cut and add the lemon.

Next add the rosemary, and vanilla extract. 

I gave it a quick stir just for good measure. 

Let simmer.

If you want to let it simmer all day just add more water and lemon as needed. 

Enjoy the sweet aroma that will fill your home!

 

PinTip: Swiffer!

   I've become addicted to Pinterest. I'm on it all of the time, looking at cleaning tips, crafts for kids, DIY, etc etc. A lot of times I will come across a pin and wonder if it actually works, I'm sure I'm not the only one that goes through that; so I thought I would share which ones work and which ones don't as I try them.

Last fall Tim and I moved into a new apartment, it has wood floors which of course I LOVE. However, every bit of dirt and fur shows up and looks ten times worse than it would on carpet. One of the first items we bought was a Swiffer. It worked great, I did/do however have to Swiffer every other day (ah the joys of having a dog) so naturally I would go through a lot of the Swiffer wipes and at $8.00 a box the money spent can add up fast.

One day on Pinterest I came across a pin that suggested making a reusable Swiffer cloth by crocheting. I happen to have pot holders that I never use so one day I just attached one to the Swiffer and it worked great!

As you can see (I know gross) it works just as well if not better than Swiffer wipes! It's a great money saver, and all I have to do when one is too dirty is switch it out with another one and wash it with other cleaning cloths or towels. I know we've easily saved over $20 over the past few months if not more!
