30 days!

Well today we have 4 weeks until we move! I just put in our 30 day notice with the apartments. Today I am focusing on my bedroom closet(the black hole it has become), and the entry way closet. I am organizing them and packing up things we don't use everyday, like books and winter clothes! I also made some earth-friendly cleaning products today that I am excited about. I realize they have nothing to do with organizing, but cleaning is just as important. Here are the recipes if you want them!

Glass Cleaner

1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 cup water
1/2 tsp liquid dish soap(optional)
3-8 drops of essential oil(optional -I used lavender!)

Fill spray bottle with vinegar and water, and shake gently. If you don't like the smell of vinegar(who does?) Then add essential oils.


All surface spray

1 16 oz spray bottle
2 tsps borax (you can find this at the store by laundry detergents)
hot water
1/4 tsp liquid castile soap

Put borax in the spray bottle, fill with hot water and shake until borax is dissolved. Then add soap. Spray on surface, let sit a moment, and then wipe clean.

I also added some essential oil to make is smell yummy - peppermint!!

Good ideas! I will have to try them. I am actually due September 6, but can't wait. What are you up to?
