Speaking of Earth day.....

.....I don't think I ever showed my new bike. There, let me fix this! 

I bought is last year and was going to organize my garage and take a good picture of it, but who am I kidding??? That's never going to happen! lol 

Look at those details!!!

It brought back a lot of hold memories as I remembered my dad giving a bicycle with a similar silhouette, tho much smaller and it was white and red, when I was a child..... 

But what kind of bike will be without a basket??? For mine I went for something unconventional and handmade by Sewn From The Heart.....with cupcakes of course!!! 

Other then looking pretty, it's a very comfortable bike and I try to use it as much as possible instead of the car, especially for my trips to the post office (a couple of miles from my house).

Going green part 1

Did I tell you how much I love Pinterest lately? I can literally loose my all day browsing it! Among the pins I love the most are the ones where bloggers found tricks to reproduce household items at a fraction of the cost of brand names and more often than not in a way that it's much safer for human use and Earth. In honor of Earth day tomorrow, I figure I will make an effort to make my house greener.

My plan will be to replace all detergents with homemade ones as much as possible. For now I'm successfully using reusable dryer sheets as I read about in on this blog, Live Renewed The only difference for now is that I'm not using a natural detergent yet as I'm sticking to the dollar store brand to keep my detergent spending as low as possible.But never say never.....voila'! My recycled baby wipe case full of reusable dryer sheets

I tried for a few days now and they get rid of the static nicely and I think the clothes are softer and smell better than when using disposable dryer sheets. maybe I should decorate that plain white box with cupcakes???? lol

It's giveaway time!!!!

In honor of the upcoming Earth day tomorrow, what about we save some flowers and we embellish the house with crocheted ones?
