Phase 2 of The House Behind The Trees ~ The downstairs #TeelsBuildaHouse

on
So we are starting the downstairs ... I HATE to say basement because we had a basement in our old home, where you opened a door and went down stairs separated from anything else. It was a finished basement complete with a bedroom, craft room, family/game room and we spent a lot of time there ~ our oldest son moved down there in jr high and stayed through high school ... until we finished the master suite in the attic then he moved back up to the bedroom floor with his brother and sister.  So here our downstairs is open to the rest of the house, you can see through to the outside from the top of the stairs going down because we have a wall of windows down there as well.  We really didn't plan to have a kiddo down there but since we are having to do a switch-a-roo with rooms (I'll explain later) he is moving home soon and will be downstairs. Anyhoo, our downstairs will house our main family room, our middle sons room, a full bath and kitchenette.  I thought it would be fun ...

Ok Maybe I'm Slow...New Approach to Stain Removing

on
So while laundering Eme's clothes from last spring.summer to get ready for Ebay ~hint hint, go check out my listings~ I was complaining to a friend about stains. I have tried everything on the market and some work some don't or some work for a while then all the sudden they don't take out BOO! So anyway, she told me that ALL free and clear takes anything out! I said you know that's an actual laundry detergent right???? duh! She said Well yes I know that but put a little dollop in the stain and rub it together then throw in the wash.....
So I tried this on Eme's things and HOLY CROW it looked brand spanking new! I just wanted to pass this stain removing trick along (and you probably already knew this trick)for the rest of the world to try! I am always looking for a great cleaning tip =)
