Just a nice relaxing day!

Well yesterday me and hubby had a date day. After I went to the dentist to get a consultation done for a crown we had a us day which was long overdue. We first went to the Country Sampler store first time there I heard many great things about that store and as a good hubby he was he took me there. What a neat crafty store that is had everything from candles to lamps and curtains so much to look at. We even found some golf towels with names embroided on them with little golfers very cute or macho for the men. We may just go back there for some gifts in the near future. I found a large metal star for our porch that I have been wanting for awhile. I want it to match our blue shutters on the house so I will have to go back out there with a sample of the color to make sure it matches. I can see that hanging on our porch above the glider that just says a country home. They also have some lamps I liked I really enjoy the fabric lamp shades that have florals and plaids to them. After there we went to the mall and bought some tealights from the Yankee store we bought a cinnamon scent and a apple scent makes the home smell cozy and welcoming. We then finished our day with a nice quite lunch at Red Lobster. We really enjoy those days we have to spend with each other. What do you do to enjoy those very few free days you have?

Cleaning your home the Green Way!

Well today is overcast outside the snow is starting to melt and that means lots of mud in the yard. Which then brings in little muddy paw prints on the floors. Everyone who has a dog knows just what I mean. I ordered them boots and can't wait until they arrive. It will help with not only the mud problem but also we can start going on winter walks with the dogs. Since the salt is so bad for their little feet. I just got done steam mopping the kitchen floor. I have the Bissell steam mop I absoluty love that mop no chemicals and gets the floors so clean. No worrying about the pets walking on the floor after and hey aren't we all trying to be a little more green. I try to buy only the GREEN label chemicals for cleaning. They seem to do just as good of a job then the regular cleaners. Plus gives you a little piece of mind that your making your home a little more healthy for your loved ones. How are you trying to make your home more Green?
