Homemaking tips:::
Once again, it's another vinegar post.  I just love vinegar and baking soda for cleaning.  I have a dishwasher that I use at least once a day and I worry about chemicals.  I just learned that you can use white vinegar as a replacement for Jet Dry.

Looking around my house:::
My husband is sitting in the chair next to me, reading his book on his phone.  The kids are playing with his suit case probably trying to figure out how to fit inside to go with him.  Rylie is fussing for attention next to me and you can hear the dryer running.


From the camera:::





On my prayer list:::
I'm praying for my husband who leaves again today and to everyone else who's significant other can't be there.

Love your homemaking tip. I'm going to have to try that. Vinegar is way cheaper than jet dry

Exactly! Jet Dry is expensive, and from what I hear, very toxic.

Potato Soup

During Lent this last spring, I needed a meat free dinner to feed my sister-in-law and her family. Usually my potato soup has lots of bacon and bacon grease in it. I found this recipe here .This one is meatless, but it is important to add that it is NOT dairy free. There are adjustments you can do to make it dairy free though.
