On a totally unrelated, but helpful note, one of my favorite sites, The Frugal Girl posted something neat the other day. Her post was entitled A Simple Air Freshener, and it's something I never thought about before. I love scented candles, but apparently, the fumes they put off are really bad for you, and the good ones can be expensive. She suggests boiling a few things, like spices, (in this case, it was an orange peel, cinnamon sticks and whole cloves). What a great way to get your house smelling yummy without harmful fumes entering your lungs, or having to spend a ton on candles!
Or you could just bake some bread or some cookies. Both make your house smell equally delicious! :)
And here is my weekly photo challenge picture:
This is me playing outside today in my monkey pjs. They were the very first gift Ross ever gave me, which happened to be my birthday, not long after we started dating, 6 years ago. The exciting fact about these is that I haven't been able to wear them in years, but was able to put them back on about 4 months ago. Yippee!!!!
A few New Year's resolutions that I thought of for myself:
- Spend less money on crap
- Get involved in the MCP Project 12 (an online monthly photo challenge contest, to grow my photography skills
- Finally learn how to use my sewing machine
- Connect with and get to know my neighbors more
Happy second day of 2012!
