am not sure about you, but every week seems to be cleaning week at my house. I try to do the bedding, the spot behind the toilet, the oven and the outside deck; but things happen, life intervenes and the cleaning jobs get pushed and pushed to the following week.

The History of APRONS
I don't think our kids know what an apron is.
The principal use of Grandma's apron was to protect the dress underneath, because she only had a few, it was easier to wash aprons than dresses and they used less material, but along with that,
it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven.
It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears.

Clean & Green
Here's a collection of my favorite natural cleaning formulas, concoctions
and witches brews. MOST are safe and nontoxic, with a few exceptions which are clearly noted.
Use the ingredients listed below when making your own alternative cleaners, most are
inexpensive and you probably already have many of them in your kitchen cupboards.

Feel like making some changes around the house? Why not consider the environment (as well as your health) when doing so?
Marissa Ponikowski at HGTV.ca’s Green site tells us how to go about this with some important considerations:

It was a total switch, selling away my Victorian antiques and rich accessories used in my old home in Scotland to move to Finland, and an ultra-modern, ultra-white flat flooded with light.
I decided to go from "very serious business" furniture to something that felt light, fresh and fun.
With a very tight budget in these first months after the cost of moving, I have had to be creative with what I kept and what I can afford to buy.
