Dollar Store Happenings

Well hello! 

Yes, I changed my blog AGAIN! 

Even after my last post where I apologized for switching it up so often.

If anyone was trying to follow it last night...

they would have see at least 25 different changes :-/.  

But, it’s all good now..no more changes.

Dollar Store Happenings...

I love the dollar store. 

Twice a month, during my daughters vocal 

lessons, Clay and I go to a HUGE Dollar Tree. 

What do I love about the store?

Their home decorating accessories, 

some toys, 

seasonal things and now I’m a 

believer of some of their cleaning products.

Here’s a list of items from my last trip.

-Quick erasers (like Mr. Clean sponges)(2 boxes)(means 4 sponges!)

-Moss covered rocks (3 bags)

-Black twigs (i have plans for them)

I was pretty skeptical about the sponges. 

So I set how to see if they worked. 

First, I cleaned a spot on my wall where my

 Chocolate lab likes to rub his body to scratch himself.

I wiped one section with just the wet side 

of the sponge and another with the "magical" white side.

I decided it didn’t really make that much of a difference. 

At that point I realized I couldn’t leave the wall like that so 

I had Clay scrub it down with just soap and water. 

Worked like a charm!

Then, I attacked my cabinet doors with the sponge. 

First, let me explain why they are so filthy.

     

Someone (previous owner) painted them with

 flat white paint...gross.

I am in the process of picking out NEW paint colors, 

so I don’t really care about them.

My findings...The sponge was awesome! 

It inspired me to clean every single cabinet door!

(And Pantry door)

Here are my before and afters...

Disgusting

Much Better
