Baking Soda Miracle Cleaner

-
With the Holidays coming, people hosting the all important Thanksgiving Dinner (like I am) are thinking about deep cleaning the kitchen. One of the hardest thing to clean is the nasty grease that cakes on just about everything around the stove and counter areas. Soap does nothing but smear it. A few years ago I came upon posts about cleaning grease with Baking Soda. I thought nothing else is working so I gave it a shot. Within seconds I was amazed! It didn't scratch anything and brought up the grease so easily. I started cleaning everything in the kitchen with it! I even got my husband to try it and he was skeptical at first but hooked within minutes like I was. So how do you make your kitchen sparkly clean for your holiday festivities?

Let's look at my Kitchen Aid. Gross right?!




All you have to do is put some Baking Soda in a small bowl. Get a wet cloth and dab it in the Baking Soda. Rub that on the grease spots and ta-da! Grease is GONE! Then wipe off the excess grit from the Baking Soda with another clean wet rag. DONE!

All sparkly clean!
Not only have I used Baking Soda to take off grease, it also took paint off wallpaper in my trailer, shoe scuff marks on linoleum and cleans my stainless steel sink. (I have heard that it will scratch stainless steel countertops though.) You can also mix it with vinegar for double duty cleaning on grout and to clean out sink drains. It's my go to non-chemical cleaning product that never ceases to amaze me! Try it and let me know how it's worked for you!

    I have always thought you had to mix baking soda with something besides water to make it effective. I can't wait to try it with just water! I love how economical this is!

    I will have to give this a try! Think it would take marker off the wall?

      I haven't tried marker but it's cleaned so many other things I didn't think would come off so it's worth a shot!

Ultimate Saran Wrap Ball Game

-

For our extended family Christmas party this year, I decided to take the Saran Wrap Ball game to a whole new level. I have seen online and even played ones where there's mostly candy, and a few prizes and they are way fun! But I wanted to make it even more exciting. We asked each family member to contribute money instead of bringing a dollar gift to help buy all of this stuff. Here are some pictures of most of what we put in ours. The items mostly came from Amazon, Dollar Tree and Walmart. Since we made 4 saran wrap balls the blankets and filled mugs were in the middle. I made the designs on the mugs with my Cricut. Then we wrapped the bigger gifts. Some of them we combined to make sure the items were more even in price. I love this wrapping paper we used from Dollar Tree. We made 4 balls to help things go faster with 35+ people expected to come. So while we wrapped and sorted we put them into 4 boxes. Once everything was wrapped we wrapped them in Saran Wra

Refurbished Key Holder

We love to go thrift shopping. Yard Sales, Goodwill, Deseret Industries etc. We have found so many cool things we have fixed up and made better over the years. This past Summer we found a yard sale that had this cute organizer. Since we bought a couple of big items they threw this in for free. Can't beat that! I wanted to give this gem a face lift so I took all of the hardware off and took the black chalkboard out. Then I sanded it so the paint would stick and wiped it down with a dry rag to get the dust off. I painted the chalkboard with regular black paint and the rest a teal color. Then lightly sanded and wiped it all down again before brushing on Minwax Polycrylic with a foam brush. I just followed the directions on the can. This is to seal it and make it easier to clean. After 2 coats of Polycrylic I had a nice even shine so I decided not to put on a third coat.  Next I worked on the "chalkboard" piece. With my Cricut I made a vinyl cut out wi

Valentines Tobacco Basket

We're finally getting back to normal around here after the holidays. I feel like it was just a whirlwind of craziness and it's time to look forward to an awesome new year! I have decided that I want to change up the decor in my living room (finally). I have been searching Pinterest and watching after Christmas deals to find new ideas for crafts and decor without breaking the bank. It has been amazing what I have found especially in the "Christmas" clearance. I do not need anymore Christmas decorations so what I look for is things that are marked "Christmas" but could be used all year round. Hence this tobacco basket. I picked it up at Hobby Lobby for $5 since it was considered "Christmas". I found this door decor at Dollar Tree. I only wanted one heart, so I removed the top one with the hanger on it and attached it to the tobacco basket. It took me less than 5 minutes and $6! I plan on switching out the heart and using other w
