Homemade Oven Cleaner


Got a dirty oven? Wanna know some of the best defense against a dirty oven? Want to prevent spills before they even happen?

If you suspect that you might have a dish that will bubble over during baking, try to place it on a cookie sheet before putting it in the oven, and problem solved.

Do you have rough, baked-on grease? Try and use this remedy.

1 box baking soda (16 ounces)

1/4 cup washing soda

1 container


1. In a container, mix both the ingredients well.
2. Make sure the oven is off. Wet the bottom of the oven and walls of the oven and generously sprinkle the mixture on the surface. Repeat this process until mixture is all gone and let sit overnight.
3. In the morning, wipe the mixture and the grease away, rinsing well to remove any filmy residue.

Learning New Things for This Housewife

So I have decided to do something that I've always wanted to do. I have always wanted to learn to crotechy (sp?). So I went to my mom and made her teach me. She started by teaching me just a single stitch after a day she taught me to do the granny square. 

Now that stitch is alot harder then I thought and now with alot of practice I have gotten it down and have created this. Pretty blanket that has an almost antique look to it

Important Things pt. 2

Some Of The Most Important Things To Remember In Life

Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
Always choose life.
Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.
However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
Believe in miracles.
All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
The best is yet to come.
No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up
Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift
