Also, I think I'm going to start 50 Shades of Grey.  My mother in law is about to read it and so is my brother in law's girlfriend.  It doesn't sound like my kind of book, but I have to see what the fuss is all about.

Homemaking tips:::
After doing many loads of laundry, sometimes my washing machine starts to smell like mildew.  To get the smell out, sprinkle the bottom of the washer with baking soda.  Pour some white vinegar over the baking soda and then run the washer on the hottest setting.  The smell should be gone.


Looking around my house:::
Rylie is sitting in my lap laughing and cooing as I type.  Ben is watching My Little Pony on the iPad and Sydney is playing with her baby doll.  I love that even when we are all doing our own thing,  we are still together.

From the camera:::




On my prayer list:::
My brother-in-law and his girlfriend.  They are going through a lot of stress right now and a lot of change all at once and need all the prayers or positive energy they can get.

Great tip for the washer.

Yea, I figure I should see what all the fuss is about. I probably won't finish it. I'm bad about abandoning books that I lose interest in or have no interest in. I can't make myself read anything I don't care for. One of my friends said that it is horribly written as well.

Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather..... It appears that Spring has sprung...  Some nice spring storms and mostly warmer weather. Right now I am.... Sitting outside at the table on the front porch while the kids run and play or stop to eat their snacks.    Thinking.... Ugh Monday... Mondays always seem to be the worst days for me.
