DIY Recipe Binder

I am getting my family recipes organized! The recipe binder is going very well for our family and I am glad that I dont have to write them out. Now they can be copied and given out! Yay to no more messy handwriting..What I truly mean is, when you are trying to write, hold a baby, plus eat at the same time.  YOU can also customize your own recipes on google drive and print them out or even share them. Email me at Jlm.customize@gmail.com if you want me to create them for you!

Here is a free weekly menu planner that I created!

Free recipe binder covers on Prudent baby. Have not got that far into creating yet. I will share when I do though.


This is a link to around 50 or so printable recipe card templates to put your recipes on before you add them to your binder!

This is so simple you can even add a page from a magazine or written on pages.

This is a free printable recipe to start you off. (not my recipe or photo) they had no option to print out the recipe. Green Smoothie Recipe from pinterest.

Homade multi-purpose cleaner

I made this last week and it is really awesome stuff!! It has a lite smell and is gentle on surfaces BUT cleans great!!

1 part water
1 part peroxide
2-3 squirts of Dawn dish soap
1/2-1 tsp baking soda

Mix well before you use it and there you have it a very cheap and easy cleaner.
I also used it on carpet stains. Just spray soak and wipe up the mess.

Enjoy!

Blessings Always,

Cloth Diaper Patterns

Here is a link to many useful sewing patterns for cloth diapers.

Have you tried Calgon water softener to strip your diapers? You should try it.

A great place to find almost every type of cloth diaper for sale is Cottonbabies.com, they also buy back your used diapers.

Adding fragrance to hand soap

You can make your own fragrance  by adding one or more essential oils to regular soap.
Click the links below to view soap that I use. I also have citronella oil that I will put in our soap for camping. One bottle would last for a very long time.

All you need:
1 pump full of either the orange antibacterial or original antibacterial soap several drops of any essential oil (I used 10 drops orange oil for my kitchen, it adds a refreshing smell to it.)

 All you have to do is add oil then shake it up
Now you can create a new and personal fragrance!  

Window Cleaner

1 cup alcohol or water;
1 cup white vinegar;
3 drops dish washing liquid. ( I like Dawn)

I use the alcohol version because it dries faster.

Inside I use the water version to clean anything glass, This can also serve as your windshield washing fluid in your car. 

Keep following my blog to find more great frugal ideas! God Bless

Past Projects

 I found some really cute flat sheets at Urban Outfitters a couple years ago. For some reason I prefer laundry bags over baskets. So I came up with this simple laundry bag that you can easily hang upon a hook or set it on the floor. The wooden ring is removeable and it helps keep the bag open to make it easy for your clothes to be tossed in. Load it up and pull the drawstring to make it easy to carry. (we used to have to take our laundry to a separate building when we lived in an apartment) These can be made into any color  or size.




This bag fits on average 2 loads of laundry. This is a large bag.
