buy fresh flowers once a week
Idea 1 week ago

I was inspired by Karrieon. I love flowers, I am happy when I have fresh flowers at home. Sure, I have got lots of green plants at home. But the flowers, they make me smiling. I like buying flowers and do that quite often. still it is not a habit, sometimes I forget for weeks. But have it as a kind of goal, well it is like making myself remember that decorating my house makes me happy, that pleasing myself is important. Why not once a week. This is a great thing to do. Thanks Karrieon!



make a lot of preserves this year (read all 2 entries…)
Fall time 3 weeks ago

It looks like I didn’t make a good use of fall veggie and fruit abundance yet. I completely missed tomatoes in Sept, on the other hand there are so many canned tomato available in stores. But I blame myself for plums. I made like 5 jars of plum jams (one of them already have given as a gift), but somehow I think I should have made thrice more than that. Maybe this is not lost yet, I will go to the food market to check whether they still have those plums or not.
Anyway, next on my list are: pumpkins, peppers and pears.

Bleach? 3 weeks ago

So I was trying very hard to keep my white bed sheets and towels pristine white and clean using various natural bleach solutions. Something that would work like bleach but would not be bleach or at least not so harsh for the environment. I tried some kind of milder version of bleach detergents, and I tried baking soda. And none of them worked at all. I tried different ratio of water and baking soda, but each time I didn’t see any result. So should I get back to the real bleach? It is a shame, but I do like white bed sheets and do not want to change them for color ones, and it seems that nothing works so well like bleach.
