My New Wonder

What is this wonder that I speak of you may be asking. Well my dear friends I am in love with vinegar. Yes I have used it for many a cleaning projects before, but now I think it will be the most used item in my house! I found this wonderful web site ttp://www.vinegarbook.net/index.shtml On this site they have a use for vinegar in every room of the house. But my absolute favorite is as "lie medicine" or, as referred to on this above site, "Sassy cure". If a child is sassy or says a word they shouldn't have a small spoonful of vinegar will help to quickly cure!! And if you use apple vinegar it is sure to not harm them. I feel much more comfortable with this than using soap to wash out "dirty words". I hope to not have to use this but feel ready if the time comes up!! But really I used this instead of carpet cleaner and it was amazing how much more hair/carpet fuzz came loose. Yes it did have a smell while it was still wet but once dried it smells like nothing. No chemical for my children to breath just freshness. I can't wait to try the other uses listed here. Can I just say how cheap this is compared to cleaners which like I said before have warnings right on the labels saying they will hurt us. I don't know why I haven't made this switch sooner but yeah for me now!! In Colorado a dear friend of the family tells the story of his first sore throat as a married man, his loving wife told him to gargle apple cider vinegar and then swallow, as the story goes he has never had a sore throat since and if he did he would never tell Sue!! But in all seriousness it did help the time he was willing to endure. No I won't make my family suffer but I might be willing to try things for myself at least once. My wish for you tonight is that you be healthy and have clean homes but most of all may you love.
