Homemade Toliet Bowl Cleaner

I love making something out of things I already have on hand. I have to admit that I always feel a since of pride. We have been pretty tight on money this year after moving and getting married, so I've found myself very thrifty. I found this DIY on Pinterest, and now I'm giving it to you! 

You will need:


1/4 Cup Borax
1/4 Cup Baking Soda
1 Cup White Vinegar

It's super easy! Just mix it directly in the toilet bowl and stir with your toilet brush. Let it sit 15-20 minutes then brush a little to finish it off!

DIY: Hanging Shelf Planter

I recently acquired quite a few house plants and was running out of room for them so I had to get a little crafty. I used some of my husbands leftover wood pieces and made this hanging shelf planter.


All you need is this:











I put my beads on randomly and I think they came out nice. You of course could do a pattern if ya like.



I also tied the ends in little individual knots to ensure the knot would not slip out



Make sure you use one of these guys ^^!  Or you might end up with a shelf on your head!


At the last minute the hubs added a couple screws to make it extra sturdy. Since a lot of the pressure was near the ends.




I think it came out quite nicely! I'd love to see yours if you give it a try!

DIY Seed Starters : Phase 2

Hello friends! I'm back with the second phase for my DIY Seed Starters. It's been roughly two weeks since I made my lil Eco Friendly seed starters; and now they're ready to plant! 

This is the easy part! Since we made the seed starters out of cardboard (which is biodegradable) we can plant them right in the ground! (Or planter) yippee! I decided to cut the cardboard even with the soil before I planted, like so:


After you've cut the excess cardboard away your ready to plant!


I also removed the tape from the bottom as I planted each one. Just dig a hole big enough to put the starter in


And then cover it up and water!


And viola! You've got a good sturdy start to growing your veggies!


Thanks for stopping by!
