Soap Nuts

After seeing these "Soap Nuts" on the Dragons Den, I thought I would give them a try. They are a natural cleaning detergent founded by a couple in Saskatchewan, that imports them south Asian countries. They look a little weird and smell like apple cider vinegar, but your cloths come out with no smell. You can also use them as a multipurpose cleaner and glass cleaner.

Fun Bug!

Daxon got this "Fun Bug" from Grandma and Grandpa E. It's so cute, it's eyes flash, wings flap and it moves around (if it runs into something thing it just turns) all to "I wanna kiss kiss kiss when the sun don't shine". Daxon it's to sure what to make of it yet, he likes to pick it up and throw it beside him (he has broken the wings three times so far and daddy had to fix it).

I think it's the cutest thing ever!

Books

Yesterday we made a trip to the book store. Daxon had a gift card that he had won in the photo contest, so we thought we would get him some new books. We came out with these two selections.

And of course Mom needed a book as well!

I choose "Freedom" by Jonathan Franzen, it's the new book in Oprah's book club, so I thought I would give it a read! I'm not a avid reader, I'm lucky if I read one book a year and usually it's a true crime novel (my favorite), so we will see how long it takes me to tackle this one!

Things I'm Loving This Month

These long sleeve shirts from Wal-Mart, only $9.00 each and they look great!

Clairol Nice'n Easy root touch-up, this has been a god sent this month being to busy to get my hair done!

This Colgate tooth paste with little white strips!

Oprah-fied

Today marks the start of Oprah's final season of her talk show. I've always enjoyed watching her show, it wasn't like all the other talk shows, it is actually informational and made you believe you could become a better person with a "A-HA moment"! I've always said she was my hero, she has so much and yet gives so much!

Oprah-fy Yourself

I've always watched the show, but this season I am making it a personal goal of mine to watch every show (with the help of the PVR of course! What would we do with out it?). Maybe my big "A-HA moment is yet to come!
