I was elbow deep in dirt and grime and up to my eyes in dirty laundry. In the thick of cleaning (and looking quite haggard I might add) I remembered "oh no I'm out of swiffer cleaner!!" I thought to myself how in the world am I going to mop since I'm sure as heck not getting cleaned up just to go to the store to buy cleaning solution. Enter what I thought was an original idea of refilling the Swiffer bottle with my own cleaning solution. I tried as hard as I could to get that darn cap off the bottle. It wasn't going to budge. Then I thought "I cannot be the only person to wonder about this" so I Googled it! Here is a video of how to take the cap off! Who knew it only took like 15 seconds in boiling water!? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/7pO-AbT3GpE?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It worked perfectly! Then I went in search for a homemade cleaning solution. I used my own concoction but loosely based on the one posted <a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_2101538_own-nonrinse-mop-solutions.html">here</a>. I had a smaller bottle to mix in which was only 12 oz and put in about 1/8 cup white vinegar and 1/2 tsp baby shampoo fill the rest of the bottle with warm water (not sure if it's important to be warm or not but I think it helped to dissolve the baby shampoo). It worked like a wonder! No streaking or anything on the tile floor! Linoleum looked good too. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikDKZNCpa_G2zWctoGTEFaXrgrOwIOl7800h1QjKtOSdDcZVMOOVz87jaHE3wJ2HgtuhDhkdrhOTixsxMQXuOk_lG7-3uG1vNXIEh7jDtRiYaQyQ787FNRSUc7-JLdLJOnabUE1n39k2Wt/s1600/100_5269.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikDKZNCpa_G2zWctoGTEFaXrgrOwIOl7800h1QjKtOSdDcZVMOOVz87jaHE3wJ2HgtuhDhkdrhOTixsxMQXuOk_lG7-3uG1vNXIEh7jDtRiYaQyQ787FNRSUc7-JLdLJOnabUE1n39k2Wt/s1600/100_5269.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Now seriously, I can't believe I bought these before now and didn't know I could do it myself!!

Even until I got there I had no real intentions on running it and planned on walking. Something amazing happened when I got there. Maybe it was the other motivated people or maybe it was a spark of a little friendly competition. Whatever it may be, I started it running and ran the first 2 miles non-stop. Now, let me just mention that I have NEVER enjoyed running-EVER! I can speed walk with the best of them, but running-eh, I'll pass. So I really am not sure what happened but I loved it! My first 5k time 31:45 which for not being a runner I'm pretty happy with. It gives me a great goal to do better next weekend! After the race there are a ton of restaurants and companies handing out free food and drinks and coupons for restaurants. It was great! We sat in the grass and enjoyed our Subway lunch and soaked in the sun. This is the first time I'd ever felt endorphins like this! My whole body was alive! I couldn't believe it! This is why people love running, not because it is fun to do but because of the way you feel after! I get it now! I signed up for the </span><a href="http://spartykanation.com/home/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7&Itemid=10"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Spartyka Wounded Warrior 5k</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">.

</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Monkey and I designed cow costumes for today's Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-Fil-A. We both got free meals for dressing up! Here is my take on DIY cow costume. I took an old crappy t-shirt that was in my junk pile and cut out felt spots and hot glued them on. The felt I had in my stash but it came from the Dollar Tree. I did the same thing for her Hayden's costume only I used a white tank that we had. I used Dollar Tree headbands and cut out felt ears and hot glued those on. For Hayden's I added a crochet flower just for a cute touch :) Enjoy the pics!</span><br />

Granted, I did use a credit and didn't have to pay full price but even at full price it's only around $15 to have a medium flat rate box shipped to you. For me, that would have made it around $1 per item. Each box is different and you should find the best deal for you but a lot of the boxes have 15-20 items! <a href="http://www.thredup.com/help/General-Info/10-How-does-this-work,-exactly">Here is a brief explanation</a> on how the website works.

Some pretty awesome stuff. One thing in particular jumped out at me. This <a href="http://www.thefinde.net/2011/05/repurposed-outdoor-kid-table.html">Repurposed Ourdoor Kid's Table</a>. Maybe it was the color or maybe it was because I'm pretty sure this is the same table my step dad used to have at his apartment when my mom and him first started dating! HA! How funny is that? His furniture was so...well...bachelor-esque. Now I wish my mom wouldn't have ditched this piece! ;)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

Hubby decided Monkey needed more room to play so he moved the rocking chair out of the room and into the spare room and moved the lego table she got for her b-day this year. The chest scared me having it that close to the window now that she has a friend she talks to out the window next door. So I moved it into our bedroom to be used like a hope chest. Do people still use hope chests?? My mom and step mom both have them so I think it's ingrained in me ;) </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrQ2DlzXOIgf9Y6IR0pSObpQ_uj0gf9TIZyWAeGPJKtsmWAj4MdW524Fxx-PiwIHPdzYGCnobx2JcCHk9FVccWiGuY57yFAog250uQgZ4rqHhnftIvhPfAPU_vmWg0biCjDrAl9wBXlnWB/s1600/Hayden%2527s+room+before+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrQ2DlzXOIgf9Y6IR0pSObpQ_uj0gf9TIZyWAeGPJKtsmWAj4MdW524Fxx-PiwIHPdzYGCnobx2JcCHk9FVccWiGuY57yFAog250uQgZ4rqHhnftIvhPfAPU_vmWg0biCjDrAl9wBXlnWB/s320/Hayden%2527s+room+before+2.jpg" width="213" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After paint:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFORsvLXnFX0kPVgsPQ_O_YT4dteRAfPAlVnl5ck1TrVepodpK7qzVvl9-kiUr68Cn9zsNL11cNPuCQNTIbMy72-ozqDL80iNznhGwjS_8Lh30AFcMon0JTCnwZuwTcOdYW7YSbVTOXbVc/s1600/IMG_5731.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFORsvLXnFX0kPVgsPQ_O_YT4dteRAfPAlVnl5ck1TrVepodpK7qzVvl9-kiUr68Cn9zsNL11cNPuCQNTIbMy72-ozqDL80iNznhGwjS_8Lh30AFcMon0JTCnwZuwTcOdYW7YSbVTOXbVc/s320/IMG_5731.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuTMOVuRB5DkHnvj2ZK4MjobWSe0s7Oi3kvvhHegO3PP6yhszgV6_A3SGbw6Iw5npmAsrfsBlB2xh0QOz91ukR_KYh-YeooEcC24y5TLU4944pDI-j-8MfB4PHvH8hB_TDcYkSTSvgekWS/s1600/Hayden%2527s+room+before.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuTMOVuRB5DkHnvj2ZK4MjobWSe0s7Oi3kvvhHegO3PP6yhszgV6_A3SGbw6Iw5npmAsrfsBlB2xh0QOz91ukR_KYh-YeooEcC24y5TLU4944pDI-j-8MfB4PHvH8hB_TDcYkSTSvgekWS/s400/Hayden%2527s+room+before.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After: You can actually see the hand painted letters :)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid_GDIxXNxjVI1yboPeasK9FmT9PiNBwrGjw1f5jDkICSpfBBiBY-k-qcIxzX5qIr18qwRM34Lwalx30ARBTgIoWP3mBlArzMZ-GXA0Xa4elbPtip4_iaFG0HLz1ifqFVckEAnSXlzvZzo/s1600/IMG_5733.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid_GDIxXNxjVI1yboPeasK9FmT9PiNBwrGjw1f5jDkICSpfBBiBY-k-qcIxzX5qIr18qwRM34Lwalx30ARBTgIoWP3mBlArzMZ-GXA0Xa4elbPtip4_iaFG0HLz1ifqFVckEAnSXlzvZzo/s320/IMG_5733.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am very happy with the way it came out!

It also came with a little insulated lunch sack and a dip packet which you mix with 16 oz of Sour Cream. The dip and chips were amazing and I cannot wait to use my lunch sack to take lunch to the San Diego Zoo! Thanks Frito Lay!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
