homemade cleaner recpie: wood polish

I quit using my usual Plege to polish my tables because I wanted to find a safer alternative. I tried the Method brand of wood cleaner, but it is super expensive. So, I found a recipe off of the website I have previously shared, sideroad.com, and made my own (hint: the blog title is a link, and I am currently making all my blog titles links if there is a website involved ;) It works great!

And it is:
1 cup vegetable oil or olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice

Pour into a spray bottle and shake, shake, shake- It's done!

Item 'j' is on its way to being complete for the "living an intentional 2009" list!

my mama

A few of you are aware that my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer a week before Thanksgiving of 2008. If you didn't know this, FEAR NOT. Thanks to digital mamograms, they have caught it at stage 0 and removed it. She successfully finished her 5 weeks of radiation and is recovering just fine.

Alarming, shocking, and sureal would probably be the right terms to describe how it felt to hear this news. But, thank you, Jesus, it was caught super early and is highly treatable. She got to business and is getting it done. That's my mom.

Now, it's time to work. Regular excise, a wholesome diet, and a change in routine is what lies ahead for my mom, and really, for the rest of our family. It's going to be hard work, but I know she can do this! Please pray for her.

JJ Cole Collections

About a year ago, I bought a JJ Cole diaper bag from Babies "R" Us. I absolutely love this diaper bag. It has a place for EVERYTHING! This past weekend, one of the zippers broke, so I called JJ Cole and asked them about it. They carry a 2 year warranty on all of their products, so I was able to get a new one without any hassle. And they said I could even change the color if I wanted-bonus!

I also used their bundle me cover when Ethan was an infant and LOVED it as well- it's really cozy and convenient.
