Shower Cleaning Made A Little Easier

I stopped going on pinterest for a while. So much to do and so little time. I didn't have time to be sucked in to pinning a million different pins.

One day, I decided to make pinterest work for me, instead of against me. I decided that I would actually use the valuable information- not just place it on a back burner of my ever-growing boards. I came across this little treasure (might I add with the instructions IN the caption, my fav!) and decided to actually do it. I put it together, loved it, and ACTUALLY use it! I also added a young living essential oil twist. Getting excited to what it is?

Here is one of the many sites that provide this- I just had to share as well! I am TERRIBLE at routine cleaning outside of my kitchen. So when I saw this, it was a no brainer. Where has this been all of my life! You keep it in your shower. After each shower, wipe down the sides and the tub. Plus, my version is chemical free! I also use it in my bathroom sink. Works so well and so simple!

Here is what you need:

Use a 1:1 ration with this and keep it in your shower! I promise you will love it! After trying this (yes, it works great without the oil too!) I had to, of course, incorporate young living oils! I added a couple drops of  lemon for the antibacterial properties and a great fresh scent! 

Happy cleaning!

The Party {Vintage Carnival}

Hudson's first birthday was a fun labor of love- I crashed hard afterwards!

Amazing people traveled the distance to celebrate our little one year old and I am so grateful to all of you.

 

Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen and shared their ideas! My months of planning certainly paid off! If you like the theme, I have links from etsy shops, tips, and recipes galore- and I am willing to share!

{Cake Smash} with IHPOC | In Hot Pursuit of Color

We were so excited to celebrate Hudson's first birthday, and since we never had maternity or newborn photos, we decided that professional pictures were a must have.

We had the amazing opportunity to work with April Sauers at IHPOC {In Hot Pursuit of Color}. I shared my ideas of what I wanted and she was quick to accommodate us! She was amazing with Hudson, and as you will see below, incredibly talented! On top of it all, I love that she is a photo journalist; capturing every moment, and every detail. Her work tells a story from beginning to end.

 I can't stop looking at these pictures, as they capture Hudson's cake smashing experience so well. So many laughs were had this day as we watched Hudson tear apart that cake. What an amazing memory to document.

You can check out her website here and her facebook page here! She is an excellent choice for a Central Minnesota Photographer.

It was a smashing good time!
