Feeling Crafty

I read somewhere that essential oils can corrode plastic. I use essential oils in my homemade all purpose cleaner so I decided it was time to find some non-plastic cleaning spray bottles .... and this is what I came up with...

 

 

 

I know the clear one isn't that pretty but I've been using this homemade cleaner for 6 years now and I haven't gone back to the store back stuff!

 

 

 

 

I was browsing shops in Portland the other day and I saw these SUPER cute mason jar soap dispensers (it's okay if you don't think they are cute, i'll still be your friend!).. anyway I picked it up to look at the price tag and it said 22$! SERIOUSLY... no way man.. I can do that myself!

 So I did... and it cost me roughly $1.50 to make my own.

 

LOVE IT!!!!!

Cousin time

The boys and I headed to the coast for the day to visit with my cousin and her kids. We spent the day playing at the campground they where staying at and visiting an old fort where the Columbia river meets the ocean. The kids had a great time and it was fun to see our children spend time together!
