Gotta Love Spray Paint

My patio furniture and cushions were looking
very faded and drab so I gave them a little
sprucing up with a couple of cans of 
spray paint

Chairs before

Table before

Cushions before


AFTER







I was so thrilled with how they turned out that I
couldn't stop

This planter needed a little color too


Peanut Butter

I've never been a huge peanut butter LOVER
I would never eat it by the spoonful but I 
do enjoy the occasional PB&J sandwich
but peanut butter is so fattening.  Even though 
it's good fat but it's 5 WW points for just 2 Tbsp

Someone told me about this stuff called PB2
it's a powder that you mix with water and turns into
creamy peanut butter and tastes really good.
It is only 45 calories per serving (regular is 190 calories)
& it's only 1 WW point
It's a little bit more expensive then regular but I think
it's worth it if you're watching your figure & who isn't right?





It comes in chocolate too but I haven't tried that one- yet

Totally Gross

Recently I kept smelling this awful smell
every time I waked past my laundry closet.
I thought maybe a mouse had died under
the washer or dryer, so I pulled them out and
checked under them- nothing.  So I vacuumed all
the crap that had fallen under them and pushed them back.

Still frustrated and still smelling the 
bad smell I decided the smell was coming
from inside the washer.  I have a top load washer but
have seen commercials for cleansers for front
load washers and thought I'd google to see
what kind of home remedies I could find to
clean my washer.

Here is the website of the one I found:
http://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/2012/04/how-to-clean-your-top-loader-washing.html


It was easy and worked pretty well 
(just took several hours)
My washer smells better but not great so I
think I'll try this again in a week or so.



I also scrubbed the inside under all
 the nooks and crannies.
It was totally gross.  I was shocked to see
how dirty my washer was and this is
where I put my clothes to get clean.


I'm sure if you try this and start cleaning
out your washers you'll be shocked too at how
TOTALLY GROSS
it really is 


Happy Cleaning !!!
