Getting More Money in Your Budget...with a calculator & pen
If you're like me, you've seen that 2020 has thrown so many curve balls that all that we didn't know we needed to know is being shown to us.  Talk about 20/20 vision!  I don't know about you, but we've seen some areas in our financial wellness that this year showed us.  Consequently, we've made changes, and spurred on by a podcast I listened to yesterday, I wanted to share that with you.

Low-cost wipe that cleans more thoroughly than most?

Low-cost wipe that cleans more thoroughly than most?

If you're looking for low-cost countertop wipes that are natural and don't contain harsh chemicals, I got the hookup for you!

From my friend, Kerry Mathes. I love all these recipes! 🙌🏻

☀️It only took me about 10 minutes to make 3 packs of Thieves wipes! It's what I use instead of a Lysol or Clorox bleach wipe. They clean, but with NONE of the harmful side-effects! I usually keep a container in the kitchen and then one in each of our bathrooms. They're fabulous for quickly wiping down surfaces. Wipe and toss!

PS - If you're like me and don't love the idea of a throwaway wipe, just fill the container with cheap washcloths. And then just toss them in your laundry when you do a load. It's that easy. I typically use baby washcloths; they're perfect for this job!

💛Here's how make them:

🔶I use 3 of the disposal round containers. ( You can find them in your grocery store in the food storage aisle, by the bags & foil ). She used regular coffee filters but you could use unbleached, for a reduced toxin load.

🔸Fill one container with warm water.
Add two capfuls of Thieves Household Cleaner to the water and stir.

🔸Fill the two empty containers with coffee filters. If you wiggle/shuffle them around a bit, you can more easily separate them later.

🔸Pour 1/3 of the Thieves Cleaner water over each of the coffee filters.

🔸Add coffee filters to the last container, the one you mixed in. (You should have 1/3 of the water mixture left in it.)

🔸Snap on the lids. Turn upside down to saturate all the filters. If you have extra solution, add more filters if possible, or save the THHC solution in a jar for your next batch. Or you can add the extra solution to a spray bottle.

🔶Use whenever you need to clean quickly! I love these to give to my kids to wipe down surfaces, too. We use them on countertops, toilets ( do NOT flush these!) , stovetops, microwave, in your car...

The possibilities are endless!

My KonMari Experience!!!

I love watching everyone purge their stuff!  I've been doing this for a while and realizing I never really talk about it.

What's the purpose of purging?
To me, it creates space in my brain to think.  It allows me to let go of the past and look towards the future.  It forces me to regain some of myself I've kept bound up in things.  

It's important as you let go of things to fill that "space" with positive emotions, through prayer.  Jesus Himself said that as a house gets cleaned, the demons that used to officially l occupy that space will get their friends and come back to live, unless you fill it with something else.  Otherwise put, "nature abhors a vacuum."

For you who have been engaging in KonMari purging, what ideas or things are you going to fill your space with so you are in control and you allow in and out what comes your way?
