Last weeks goal was a bust. We never ended up going to the museum or going anywhere for the matter because the kids and I are sick. We are still sick so this week I am doing two light goals: to plant some seeds in a pot and to make my own homemade natural cleaning spray.
Weeks ago, my husband and daughter went on an outing to Home Depot, and while they were there they bought some chive seeds to plant indoors. The pack of seeds have been sitting on my windowsill since. This week my goal is to plant those seeds in a pot, and then the pot can sit on the windowsill rather than the packet. I just need to go out and buy some potting soil...that is what has been holding this whole thing up.
My second goal is to make my own homemade all-natural cleaner. I don't consider myself an "all-natural" person, but recently I was wiping down the kitchen with my usual cleaning spray, and shortly after the kids and I starting coughing a little. My throat was irritated from the cleaner, and I believe theirs were too. I found a recipe for an all natural cleaning spray which I shared below for anyone who is interested. I am going to make it this week and see how it works and I will let you all know.
I am confident that even being sick with this horrible ick I can accomplish these goals. I just may need my husband to pick up the potting soil for me. What is your goal for the week?
Recipe for all-natural cleaning spray found at http://ecocrazymom.com/eco-home-homemade-cleaning-products/:
5-10 drops of Tea Tree Oil
5-10 drops of essential lavender oil
5-10 drops of essential lemon oil
Update: I made the homemade natural cleaner but did not plant the chive seeds. I did buy the potting mix for the seeds and the weather will be nice this week, so I hope to complete that soon. The homemade cleaner came out nice. I've been using it to wipe down the highchair, table and any other surfaces the kids come into contact with a lot. I recommend it.
