I have a confession to make: I hate bar soap. It gets dirty, is annoying to handle, and takes too long to use up.Then it occurred to me that I might be able to convert the bar soap into liquid hand soap. Why didn’t I think of it before? I did some research and found out that it is easy to do. All it takes is melting the soap with water, adding a little vegetable glycerin, and you have liquid hand soap.

I made my own version for under $10.

I don't know exactly what it is, but there's something about hanging planters that can be so special (and a bit magical). Maybe it's because you normally see those types of plants stuck on the ground, so when they are floating in midair, it's like, "Dang plants, you're up so high!" I can't help but feel excited for them. Since hanging planters can get pretty expensive, I thought I'd come up with a cost-effective way to make a group of hanging planters (and it's super easy too!):

As a mother, one of my goals is to raise fabulous little cooks and bakers so when they leave the nest they can create healthy and delicious meals. We took an old family apple bread recipe and went to town making it more healthy and gluten free. The original recipe called for over two cups of sugar which is a lot of sugar. I made my muffins with honey instead of white sugar to make them healthier.

We fell in love with the idea of getting a holland lop the moment we laid eyes on one. we didn’t, however, fall in love with the cages that were available at the local shops. so, we made a decision then and there – before we could get the cuteness, we had to make him a suitable home. it had to be something we could proudly display in our future home – something that would look good sitting next to all the furniture we plan on purchasing when we get married. so we decided that instead of starting from scratch, it would be easier to modify a piece of furniture. we headed to ikea (of course!) for an inexpensive solution. it was a labor of love; looking at our little eames sleeping in his hutch makes it worth all the trouble.
