What I Did With My Friday Night...

I wanted to start off by thanking all of my new followers, I'm really excited to have a larger audience. I hope I can help inspire and motivate you, if even in the smallest, slightest way. 

After the little man was asleep last night I FINALLY got up the courage to do something I've been dreading...clean my master bathroom. Blah...So in my defense for the shower I have really bad eyesight and when I shower I don't have my contacts in...it was bad!

 So I also wanted to see how long it would take me to clean my bathroom using Shaklee's Basic H2. I only had two cleaners for everything. I loved that. I didn't have to switch cleaners, I just sprayed everything down and went from mirror to sink to tub and floor. It took about 25 minutes to clear everything out and clean it all. Mirrors, sink, counter, shower, tub, floor, and toilet. The Basic H2 did such a great job, everything sparkled!

When I was writing the post, I realized that I didn't have an after picture of the drain. This is the picture I took this morning...

The little ring isn't very visible in the light of the bathroom but the flash brought it out. I think it's hard water because there's always a pool of water that doesn't drain completely. I went at it with the Scour Off this time and it was gone!

So 25 minutes for a really nasty bathroom, great. Fume-free, non-toxic cleaning that is simple and effective, WONDERFUL!! 

I also conquered the guest bath a few days before and since it wasn't as bad, it was WAY quicker. 10 minutes!!! 

How quickly can you clean your bathroom? How many cleaners does it take you to clean? Shaklee's Basic H2 makes it so quick and easy to clean and on top of that it is much less expensive compared to name brand products. I mean 22 cents for a GALLON of all-purpose cleaner and less than 1 cent for a GALLON of window cleaner!!! AMAZING!!

A Delectable Treat - Reese's Pie

So I've had this hankering for Reese's lately. They are my favorite candies by far! So this weekend when I finally got food for the house, I got the ingredients for an AMAZING dessert...Reese's Pie!!! Yum.

We got the recipe from Curt's aunt a while back and have taken it to a few parties and it has always been a hit. But beware, it is so addicting!

 

Reese's Pie:

2 Oreo pie crusts  (you can make your own too)

 1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

  mix together and smooth half of mixture into each pie crust. I highly recommend slightly melting the PB so you don't break the crusts to pieces.

1 large instant chocolate pudding (or a small pudding to make only one pie)

make according to pie recipe using less milk

Layer half of pudding onto peanut butter layer in each pie.

 Chill pies until pudding is firm

2 - (8 oz) cool whip

   top each pie with cool whip

 1 - ( 12 oz.) Pkg Reese's peanut butter cups -use half of pkg. For each pie, mini or regular.

 Cut Reese's into quarters and/or crumble on top of each pie.

 Refrigerate and serve or freeze for later and thaw in fridge before serving

Just as a side note, don't try cheating the calorie count by using low fat PB...there's not enough oil in this kind to make it melt or even smooth it into the crusts for that matter. 

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this yummy dessert as much as I do, now I just have to find someone to give the second pie to. Any takers? :)

Currently Working On

a quiet book for my little man. I'll definitely share pictures of the whole thing when it's finished.
