This evening we attended a fundraising event for my brother-in-law, Andrew. He is running again this fall for state representative for his district. He is also running for 'majority whip'. Whatever that is. What a cute cake!
I had to snap this picture this morning when I left for work. I've never seen this done before. Not only was it covered in post-its but the windows were all chalked. I'm sure glad it was their car and not mine!
In all my efforts to maintain a green and safe home with my cleaning products, I am realizing how much you can do with this stuff! My favorite use so far is as a fabric softener! It works wonders! I've never had my clothes so soft. Not even with conventional softeners like Snuggle. You just add 1/4 cup per load to the rinse cycle. Believe it or not, no vinegar smell left over! You've got to try it!
We had our third Santa gift of the year today from Brians' folks. We took a steamboat ride on the Mississippi River. We also had lunch at the Old Spaghetti Factory and the Arch. Since dad was in town, he got to come along also. Fun stuff. Thanks to my guest photographer, Brian.
