With Mothers Day literally right around the corner, I wanted to do something special and unique for my Mother and Mother in Law. I wanted something Personalized, unique and beautiful. I loved the idea of a family tree but with a twist. When I came across <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/80792360/custom-family-tree-typography-art-11x14?ref=sr_gallery_3&ga_search_submit=&ga_search_query=family+tree&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/95420085825195200/" target="_blank">this</a>, I figured I could Definitely tackle this. It really only took a couple of hours to complete both. The most difficult was finding a frame I loved. </div>

Now you can use any bar soap you choose. Dove has a lot of moisturizer in it so 6 cups is the perfect amount of water needed. With other soaps, 6 cups of water may be too thick so you may have to play around with the amount of water needed to get the desired consistency. </div>

<ul>
<li>I got a 4 pack of the dove soap for $4.99 so that works out to $1.25/bar</li>
<li>1 used 3 bars so that's $3.75</li>
<li>6 cups of water - FREE</li>
<li>I filled 3 - 530ml bottles from my old body wash so it works out to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">$1.25 for a 530ml</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">(18 oz) bottle</span>. </li>
<li> But if you were to compare it to a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">354ml Dove size bottle it's only $0.83 per bottle!!</span>!</li>

<span style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Chalkduster;"> </span>Being on weight watchers has taught me many things. 1, My cravings for pizza have not changed. 2. Justifying 7-10 points/ slice is hard to do, and 3. having only one slice just won't cut it. So I've learnt to improvise. With this you can have a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">full 6 inch pizza</span> and it's only<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"> 6+ points</span>, without skimping out on the cheese. How does she do it, u ask……… I'll share my secret.</div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I recently jumped on the weight watchers band wagon. <span style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Handwriting - Dakota';">(applause)</span> Thank you, thank you! In doing so I've found pinterest to be an amazing source for recipes. It was the dreaded dessert night tonight and I needed to find not only ingredients I had on hand but something tasty that wouldn't blow through too many points. I was sifting through many recipes last night and just couldn't find what I was looking for. I came across an ingenious pin that revealed to me that you can make a cake with diet soda in replacement of all the eggs, oil and water. Hmmmmm. I was intrigued…..but simple cake was not enough for me. So, births the concoction that not only treats you to cake, chocolate and berries at an affordable ww point price but impressed the picky "I hate your diet food" eaters. Monster size pieces too!</div>

Dissolve sugar free Jello into your boiling water. mix in strawberries and put in fridge to cool. Once cool, pour over chocolate layer and refrigerate to set. (note: My berries look mushy in the final product, I cooked them on the stove to soften, then added them to the Jello. You can make the executive decision - crispy or tender)</div>

You can make this recipe even lighter if you so choose. Use fat free cool whip and Sugar free Pudding along with skim milk and it could cut it down a point or two. I just worked with what I had on hand! Hope you enjoy!</div>

This post, by far, has me the most excited. I LOVE to save money. Some might even call be cheap, but in honesty it pains me to pay full price for things or continue to throw money away after my eyes have been opened to money saving ways. I've seen tons of posts for homemade laundry detergent and I won't lie, I was very sceptical. After doing the math, I couldn't help but try it out. It's <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Cheap</span>, really cheap, simple and completely safe for HE machine use, with promises for great results. So why not!!!</div>
<div style="font: 14.0px 'Noteworthy Light'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Let me start with the Math. (seal clap) </div>
<div style="font: 14.0px 'Noteworthy Light'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
This Fabulous Laundry detergent Costs <span style="color: #248fcd;">$2.28 </span>to make each recipe batch. </div>
<div style="font: 14.0px 'Noteworthy Light'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Each recipe makes <span style="color: #f9331b;">3 gallons</span> of Laundry Detergent. </div>
<div style="font: 14.0px 'Noteworthy Light'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
3 gallons of detergent is equivalent to <span style="color: #64b033;">96 loads</span>. </div>
<div style="font: 14.0px 'Noteworthy Light'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
So that works out to <span style="color: #8708af;">$0.02 per load</span> ……..2 cents….. give that second to sink in. </div>
<div style="font: 14.0px 'Noteworthy Light'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
2 CENTS a load. <span style="color: #f95915;">Madness!!!</span> </div>

While waiting for your water to boil Place a few drops of food colouring in the bottom of each jar. 1 or 2 is all you need.</div>

Add 1/2 Tbsp or 30 drops of essential oil give or take. The more you put in the stronger the smell. I used Orange oil simply because I LOVE anything citrus.<br />

your water should be boiling by now so pour 2 cups of boiling water into a glass bowl and whisk in the gelatine until fully dissolved. If you're using salt……here is the time to add it as well. </div>

With 4 kids of my own ranging in ages from 7 - 12 the typical time out or grounding just wasn't having the same effect as I wanted it to anymore. And grounding them for simply calling their sister a retard seemed a little overboard. So I needed something to fill the gaps. Most of the time they simply need to diffuse themselves from the situation and focus their angry energy upon something else....not SOMEONE else. So this article got the creative juices flowing. Introducing our newest additions to the family......<br />

When they do something unkind, hurtful, disrespectful, ext.. they must pick a task from the jar and they <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">MUST</span> complete it. If they make a big fuss and refuse they get 2 tasks. If it carries on further they simply get grounded. They are not all chores or what one might call an actual punishment, some are silly, some are just down right annoying, but it's a way to get them out of the situation and busy with something else. So far it's working.<br />

Within a week my 9 year old son made an acute observation that if we are being "punished" for our bad actions shouldn't we be "rewarded" for the good we do. I can't fully argue with that theory. However I don't want them to get the idea that they will we rewarded for every good deed they do. Or that they should only do kind things if they expect something in return. So I agreed and set up a "Nice" jar. I, as I am sure most parents, want my children to grow up being thoughtful, kind, helpful and generous. Although sometimes they need a little incentive to get their minds thinking that way. The nice jar is a great reminder. I explained that these are random act that will be rewarded. Not ones in an attempt to gain a reward. When they go out of their way to to do something kind, helpful, generous or thoughtful and expect nothing in return they may have the opportunity to be rewarded. And you won't ALWAYS get one. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px;">They can't come and tell me they've done something kind to get rewarded they must do it because they want to help someone out, make someones life a wee bit easier or brighten someones day. If I notice the kind gesture or act of goodwill or helpful nature I will choose to validate by praise and on occasion they get to pick from the Nice jar.</span></div>

How cheap you ask? How Easy? Well it is quite the commitment to take on this project. It Took me a whole 5 mins! My math to figure out costs took longer than the making of the actual fabric softener. We're talking about mixing 4 ingredients at a total cost of $2.62 for 44 loads. Yep, that works out to only $0.06 / load. CRAZY right! How could I not try this out. So here it is....<br />
<br />
Homemade Fabric Softener:<br />
- 6 cups of hot water<br />
- 2 cups of conditioner (white / non dyed preferred)<br />
- 3 cups of vinegar<br />
10-15 drops of essential oils of your choice (optional if your conditioner has a strong enough scent)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

Now you can use your fabric softener 3 different ways. </div>

1 - give it a swirl and simply pour 1/4 cup for a reg load (or 1/2 cup for an extra large load) in your dispenser as u typically would</div>

2 - you can put it in a spray bottle and spritz it on a washcloth and throw it in the dryer with your load</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3 - you can soak a washcloth in the softened, take it out and let it dry. Then use it the same as u would a dryer sheet</div>

It was honestly just a backdrop to an Etsy Teapot for sale but I thought...HA! I can do that. Obviously it came with no instructions but really.....how hard could it be. <br />
<br />
This is the original..<br />

Pretty right, and simple enough for even me to tackle. So I made a trip to the local dollar store and grabbed me some grey felt (3 sheets / $1) and some relatively flat river rocks ($1/ bag) score!<br />
<br />
I gathered all my supplies. Scissors, glue gun, rocks, felt and Old scratched up CD's to put between the felt to keep it stiff and not floppy. I have my moments of brilliance! :) <br />

Looks great, felt smooth and flat and I was proud of my small accomplishment. I'm not gonna lie I was excited to give it a try at supper that night and we did! It was pretty.....I'll give it that but functional ....not so much. It felt flat and level but I'm not sure it was level enough. It was slippery, the glass bottom pyrex kept slipping off, the baking stone however sat better. Being the borderline genius that I am, I however failed to realize that if Hot glue is warmed to melt and stick things together.......it can also be warmed to unstick. lol A few rocks did fall off. I'm thinking I may try a different glue for the rocks. Or just stick to the boring wooden hot plates I already have. </div>

OK I'm not gonna lie, other peoples tidy and organized houses, closets, bathrooms and especially kitchens get me pretty excited. I'm not exactly the most tidy of people but I would love to be..... it just <b><i>wreaks</i></b> of effort. As the mother of 4 kids, who don't know what it means to pick up anything, there tends to be a lot of "stuff" and never enough room to put it. So I found a means of attack that actually seemed doable. The original found <a href="http://www.memoriesoncloverlane.com/2011/08/cleaning-schedule.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CloverLane+%28Clover+Lane%29&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader" style="color: #336699; text-decoration: none;">here</a>, broke it down with daily tasks that weren't overwhelming and then a 14 week rotation where as u tackle a whole room from top to bottom. We're talking total overhaul. Daunting I know, but when u have a whole week to get it done and only ONE room it is realistically achievable, even for me. I LOVE lists.... mostly because I can't remember anything....but I do LOVE lists....doing everything on the list, not so much. lol So I took my lists a little further and broke down each room so I wouldn't forget anything. I printed it all off and threw it into protective sleeves in a binder to take with me from room to room. Here is my overall breakdown of my weekly schedule as well as my 14 week rotation.<br />

I know it looks like a lot, but don't let it get you. It really has simplified my life and made cleaning manageable. I no longer fear the unexpected drop ins of friends and family cause I know as long as I stay on top of my dailies, the place doesn't look too bad. <br />
Happy Pinning!!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Hi I'm Rachel and I'm a Pinterest addict. yes, it's true.... Just a few short months ago I was introduced to the obsession known to many as </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><a class="fw_link_website" href="http://pinterest.com/rachelgartly" mce_href="http://pinterest.com/rachelgartly" target="">Pinterest</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> If you haven't yet been exposed to this world I'll warn you now, it truly is an addiction. A flurry of amazing information and tools that leave u drooling and in awe....but a complete addiction. I fell hook, line and sinker. They sucked me in with DIY crafts and scrumptious recipes, the delusional glow of a clean and organized house that I could potentially have and kept me glued with a never ending supply of new "save money" tips and tricks for the DIYer. So now here I am, completely new to this, blogging my journey of the trials, errors and yes...Triumphs of my Pinterest Affair</span></span><br />
