Magic Eraser...truly Magic!

I have always been amazed by the abilities of the Magic Eraser, even the generic brands, but now I just don't understand how this little "sponge" can be so powerful!  Since we moved into our home a year ago I have been scrubbing my kitchen floor by hand and it's never been completely shiny clean.  There was always a dull look to in through the high traffic area.  So, the other day I was using a Magic Eraser to clean a stain on the counter and it just dawned on me to try it on the floor.  I did one square to see the difference and I could not believe it!  Perfectly clean and shiny, like brand new!  Needless to say I did the whole floor, good thing my kitchen is small!  From now on this is my new floor cleaner.
As long as I am talking about the Magic Eraser I will add another great thing to use it for, stainless steel.  I have been using them for years to clean my kitchen sink and faucet.  It will remove stains and even water spots.  I really wish I would have invented this little cleaning tool...love it!

Father's Day

I hope you all have a great day with all the dads out there!  It's a beautiful day here and going to dinner later on!  Pools, boating, fishing, bowling, dinner, or just enjoying the day with your special man, make it a special one!

So, I have this vintage plate that my Grandma gave me and I am really trying to find out the value.  There is no manufacturer markings, just a couple numbers and I am having a very hard time researching it.  I was hoping that someone out there had some sort of experience with vintage dinnerware who could help me out! I have post a picture of the front and back.  There are two seperate numbers on the back, a stamped number of 5074 and an engraved number of 9 S 88.  If anyone has any ideas on what these numbers mean or how I can find out, I would greatly appreciate it!  Have a great day!

Back in Business!

WOW...I can't believe that I have been sooo busy I have neglected my blog!  The last couple months have been a whirlwind of changes in my life.  I ended my 7 year career of running my home daycare and accepted a position as school secretary!  I'm just getting the hang of being away from the house and balancing all my other duties as mom and housekeeper.  It's been crazy but we are adjusting and it is so worth it.  Now I look forward to a wonderful Summer with my kids and more time to work on this blog!  I'm sorry for my absence but I am back in business of blogging and promise to keep up this time!  The weather is FINALLY looking up around here and I look forward to sharing my Summer with all of you!

Spring Vacation

My kids had all last week off from school for Spring Vacation.  Our weather around here STILL isn't very "Spring-like" so we took a couple days to enjoy being indoors at Chula Vista Resorts in Wisconsin Dells, WI.  We have been there many times but this year seems even more exciting to get away because of this terribly long winter we have had in Wisconsin.  They have a very nice indoor waterpark, gift shops, nice rooms, and restaurants.   Highly recommended for a family get away!
