Fun Stuff!

Got to love these old pics!

 I caught a sale at Starbucks for their Christmas Blend coffee which was 1/2 off! I should have bought them all, but only got one bag, and now it’s almost gone already. It has a spicy/sweet taste which is so yummy!

Next, I hit a sale at the grocery store that had 1/2 off all their coconut Palm natural candles. They burn very clean and are much better for the environment then paraffin & additives.  Naturally, I got the Kono Coffee Latte one. It is swirled and so pretty to look at. The picture did not come out, but I assure you it smells so delish!

I then treated myself to a coffee bath bomb. If you have never tried a bath bomb, you should! They are Amazing. They also have one called Cinders which is so much fun. It actually crackles and pops in the bath, and then releases glitter and confetti!! It’s really neat if your into that sort of thing.

Coffee Bath Bomb!

Why do I have thousands of coffee filters?

  • Posted on January 5, 2011 at 8:40 am

Am I using them as bowls?

Am I working on a dress for one of my daughters?

Do I never want my kids to be bored?

Do I decorate with them?

Am I using them to clean?

Am I making face masks with them?

Am I designing stylish hats?

Did I cover my tree this year with homemade coffee filter angels?

No, they are not to make coffee..Well, some are obvisouly, but not all of them..Anyone know why I would need so many?

Moths and Mice take 2

  • Posted on January 4, 2011 at 11:11 pm

Well, mice take two anyways. This is so discusting I do not even know where to began.

I found mouse droppings on my bed today!! I mean, How? Why?

And no, I am not one who only changes the bedding once a month. I change it every week, sometimes twice a week. I wash all the pillows, blankets, and I am really the cleanest person that I know.  There is no reason for mouse droppings to be on my bed! Yuck!

I am still trying to figure out how this happened. I may have to oil all the sides of the bed to keep them from climbing up. Either that, or  it is possible that one of my kids was playing with a toy or something that had some droppings on it. Still super gross!

 Regardless, I am feeling over whelmed by the thought of having to  be battling these mice, and believe me, it is a battle! In fact, I may even call it WAR!  I have traps everywhere, and don’t know what else to do. Someone told me  the other day to buy rat poison, which I suppose is worth a shot, but from what I have read, they eat the poison, then go and die, and if they die in one of the walls and that will just freak me out even more. They carry so many germs!

…I use to have a black widow spider problem and I thought that was bad, but nothing beats the torture of these mice running rampid though my sparkling clean house!

What else?

MOTHS! Who the heck has moth problems? I have no clue what happen, but all of the sudden, I am swatting at moths 24/7. They are everywhere, and they are so tiny. My daughter had a dress on the other day and she showed me all these tiny holes all over it and asked me if the washing machine did it. I told her that if it is cotton, it is the moths on their feeding rage.

With all the cotton and clothes in my house I suppose they can live happily for the next decade. I wonder what is the life span of a moth? I’ll have to check because we have had them for the past six weeks and unless they are breeding, which I haven’t seen any cocoons anywhere, then they are just  enjoying their time here, and in it for the long haul.

Yes, I have heard of moth balls. Just a few days ago in fact, as I have never heard of them before that. I here they smell really bad so I don’t know, and how exactly do they work anyways..something I need to find out.

So if anyone has any sure fire ways to get rid of mice & moths..I am open to hear it..
