Life as we know it...

THE FAMILY JULY 2011
The daddy has officially left our lives until football is over! When he is home (which is rare) he is tired and falling asleep in his chair. When Addi asks where daddy is and I say "work" she just says, "oh work, right". Like duh, I should have known that!



Addi has been busy with playdates with some of her coaching kid friends. She's even started up a new romance with her boyfriend Kyler. He's a younger man, but he is a cutie pie and they seem to be in love! LOL



As for the rest of us we are just trucking along. I was really hoping to go back to work this year (not leaving Addi but the $ and the freedom) but due to budget cuts etc. there were no jobs in my teaching field :( However, I will be helping another coaches wife with an after school program. It will be a nice way to ease back into work, and Addi gets to stay with Aunt Katie Katie while I work. I am looking forward to being around kiddos again and I hope that it will be a successful program. Anyway, I have lots of pics to edit/post, but not today! I better get some sleep, my little monkey has been an early riser lately :( We have a BIG day tomorrow... lots to do!


OH! I've been up to lot of creative crafts (will share some other soon...) but my friend Amber shared this info. with me and I thought I'd pass it along! I've already made my own and it works and it's SUPER cheap!


Homemade Laundry Soap: 2 cups grated soap, 1 cup Mule Team Borax, 1 cup washing soda (just 2 Tbs. per load) costs about 2 cents per load (depending on the soap you use)


Homemade Dishwasher Detergent: 1 cup Mule Team Borax, 1 cup washing soda, a few drops of lemon oil (optional) (just 2 Tbs. per load)


I like these because its CHEAP, I can make a bunch so I don't worry about running out so often, I know exactly what is in it, I don't have to lug big bottle of detergent out of the store, and did I mention its cheap! Anyway, they work! just store in an airtight container (light a gallon ziplock bag)
