Minding My Matties

Spring is almost here! Just a few days until the official start of spring and I can’t wait! I think spring is my favorite season, especially this year since it has been cold for so long. Usually, here in Texas, it is warmer much earlier, but this year it seems like winter has lasted forever. We are expecting warmer weather at the end of this week and I can’t wait. I don’t know if it’s the warmer weather, spring cleaning, or the beautiful flowers and plants that start popping up but I do love this season, probably because of a mixture of all of the above and also the fact that my favorite holiday, Easter, is coming up soon. With spring comes spring cleaning, so today I decided to put together this simple recipe for DIY cleaning spray that I use for just about everything.

Last year, we decided we really needed a decent vacation since it seemed like it had been non-stop work with no break. Especially with my husband basically working two full-time jobs with no end in sight, we both knew we needed some sort of break so we planned it for our 5th anniversary. We also planned it for this year since we knew shortly after, my husband would be going full-time in his automotive business meaning he would no longer be working two full-time jobs! So this will probably be our last vacation for awhile. We took this picture the day we left for one of my Dad’s friends who worked at the port....
