Hair Potion from your kitchen

Many of you know we have LOTS of hair at our house. It is long and curly and beautiful (if I do say so myself). But it requires a LOT of work. Lots of conditioning and combing out and wetting it down and trying to tame the wildness that abounds each time the weather changes.

I finally found products that work great. Mixed Chicks is amazing but we still battle dryness in the cold, cold winter.
So when I happened to watch a random episode of The Doctors I was thrilled they were talking about things like dry hair and skin etc.....
I whipped up the dry hair potion and tried it on both girls.

It is just olive oil, 1/2 a banana, 1/2 an avocado, and an egg. I painted it on their hair with a pastry brush and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then I just shampooed and conditioned as normal. I didn't notice a huge difference after one treatment but I plan to do this easy treatment once a week. Who knew you could get beautiful hair from your kitchen!

How to get Urine/Sweat stains out of your Mattress

If you have kids you have pee stains I know it. If you don't lucky you or you are a liar and in denial. I have pee stains on more than one mattress. I also have sweat stains on pillows because well I sweat a.lot . It's a gift I know. I digress. Anyway I have tried many different ways to get urine/pee out of mattresses and I have been very unsuccessful so I did a google search and what do you know? Another mom had pee stains too. So I borrowed her recipe and it totally worked so I am sharing it with you. All you need are these few house-hold ingredients and a spray bottle. I bought a really expensive one (NOT) I used one I had for my kids hair. It worked great. You will need: 3 Tablespoons Baking Soda 8 ounces Hydrogen peroxide 1 drop dish soap Mix together well and use right away. My mom discovered that if it is not mixed well the baking soda will clog the sprayer. You also can't store this apparently it doesn't last in the bottle and it is no longe

Master Bedroom Makeover Board and Batten

I highly recommend a few items although you don't HAVE to have them it just makes this project go so much faster. I bought a pancake compressor with three nail guns included saved me on this project and a miter saw. I bought both from Home Depot and they didn't pay me to say that it is just where I happen to shop. I actually had this all measured out and went to Home Depot and they cut the mdf primed boards for me. However I later purchased the miter saw and was then able to cut things right here at my house. The nail gun I used is a 16 gauge gun that can shoot nails up to 3 inches. I used a 2.5 inch nail to cover the thickness of the board and wall. Ok so I recommend deciding how you want your boards spaced first and measure and mark on the wall where you want them. I tried to do every 16 inches because that is how far apart my studs were but then I realized my wall wasn't an even length and so I have some that look a little off on the ends. Lesson learned
