Found about 30 pounds of potatoes in the potato bin while I was cleaning the garden! These girls are such good help! They have both decided when they have their own houses they do NOT want a wood stove...hahaha! This guy loves to go to the woods too. We shouldn't have let him chew on everything in sight though.

Chemical Free Way To Remove Hard Water Stains From Your Toilet
First of all, I'm so sorry! I thought I would apologize in advance for showing you pictures of our toilet: I know,... GROSS! RIGHT?

This simple recipe is delicious and frugal with the added bonus that you probably already have all 5 ingredients in your cupboard. When I first tried this ... continue reading...
