Peppemint Hand Sanitizer

Peppermint Hand Sanitizer is not only effective in killing germs on hands, but also is natural and safe for children. This also makes a lovely gift. You may add different essential oils to your liking, but as far as sanitizers go, I love the smell and refreshing feel of peppermint.

2/3 cup rubbing alcohol (99%)
1/3 cup aloe vera gel
8 drops peppermint essential oil

1. In a small bowl, combine alcohol, aloe vera, and essential oil.
2. Using a funnel, pour sanitizer into a small spray bottle.

 One last merit badge. I know the feeling...My oldest son has just his Eagle Scout Project to finish!

 Everyone needs an ADVENTURE BOOK!  I have started one since my 40th Birthday. I have been amazed at how many dreams and goals of mine have actually come TRUE! I'm experiencing a whirl wind.

 A place to stop, talk, and sit awhile!

I dig the RED phone.

 The Up House Kitchen was the BOMB! I absolutely drooled over the white, turquoise and red. The beautiful wide red oak floors, white framed cabinets with stainless steel pulls, white shiny subway tiles with black and white accents created a dreamy, retro look.

 The turquoise appliances could not have been more fun and whimsical.

 The unfilled nursery was thought provoking. Sometimes our dreams don't come true!

Disney's Pixar Up House

One of the all-time funnest, most creative houses I have ever toured in a home show was the Disney Pixar Up House. There are few words to adequately describe the magic, details, and heart that went into this architecture and design.

Is this home dreamy or what?

 Don't you just love the details that went into this home? The mail box alone was just so darn fun and touching. I actually teared up over this one. The relationship between Cark and Ellie was so sweet!

Pin It

 Carl and Ellie watched out for each other through thick and thin! They were truly each others best friend. The way the movie, UP, depicted this marriage relationship was very heart warming.

 I burst out laughing when I saw the boy scout pack all loaded and ready for ADVENTURE!

 This man did a wonderful job as Carl and made for a perfect photo op.
