Hi Cheryl,

So glad you enjoyed Italy as much as we did. It is one country I could go back to every year.

And sounds like you have your knit queue taken care of for a while! That’s a good thing.

As it relates to the KitchenAid, I am very disappointed in how that whole thing went down. The promo wasn’t what it was advertised to me that it would be. Only one mixer is on sale, the 5-quart mixer. If you are looking for a 5 quart, it is a good deal. And the promo code wasn’t required, even though I was told it would be. I’m sorry for the frustration.

Hi Mary,

We sure can use all the prayers and hugs down here, so thanks for sending them!

I do love those Method cleaners. And I am going to try the baking soda tip. Folks have recommended that along with Dawn and Vinegar. I’ll keep you posted.

Thanks for sharing your tip and kind words.

Hugs, Lynn

Hi Gail,

It seems this is the secret soap scum recipe that everyone knows about but me! I am giving it a whirl today…does it work on built up scum? I’ve been trying to deal with it for a couple of years, and it just has slowly built up. I’ll keep you posted.

Thanks again for the tip!

Hugs, Lynn

Thanks so much, Maggie! I needed that!

I am so sorry for all the sadness and frustration in your world and your state. You surely did have a full bucket of sadness and yuck. I’m hoping that this will be a much better week for you.

My son had an ingrown toenail when he was younger too…argh. He had to get half of one of his toenails permanently removed and it hasn’t been an issue since. But man, that was an ordeal.

And thanks for the comment about ads…it is a fine line and I try to walk as close to that line as possible. I know without question that the number of ads on my site is much less than many other bloggers because I am below the recommended settings. But nevertheless, they are, as I call them, a necessary evil. The reader that wrote that did respond and was very understanding, I think she was just frustrated at the moment.

I so appreciate you writing in and gifting me with your kind words!

Many Hugs!

Lynn

Thanks for the Monday Positivity Check, after a rather trying week last week (a friend passed away, so there was his funeral and we had a swarm of termites that wasn’t very fun and also my son had his ingrown toenail taken out, etc etc and that’s not even to mention the news of the shooting in my state.) it’s great to get some positive emails.

I read what one other reader said about advertisements and I want to let you know, you answered her with such grace. I think most people who read blogs know that there will be some affiliate links. They don’t bother me one bit!

Thanks again for the lovely uplifting blog today.

Maggie

I know of a good soap scum remover for you. I got this from a former co-worker of mine. It is a mixture of equal parts of vinegar and Dawn Dish Soap.
Put them in a squirt bottle and mix gently. Spray on the tile and shower doors and let sit for 15-20 minutes. Make sure to turn on the exhaust fan. Wipe with a wet sponge and rinse off. Easy Peasy!

Happy cleaning!

Gail

That said, your request for the best shower door cleanser got me motivated to scrub mine this morning. I’ve used the Method line of cleansers for years – who doesn’t love smelling spearmint when scrubbing the toilet? But, when all else fails, I rely on good old baking soda on a damp cloth and some elbow grease. PS. No, I’m not affiliated with the Method company, just really like using their dish soap, bathroom cleanser and daily shower spray.

Aw shucks…thanks Joan! I’m blushing!

I am so glad you found some fun stuff…I love that binder. I finally feel I know what yarn I have! It was a good exercise to get it all sorted and catalogued.

Wishing you a wonderful day of organizing.

Hugs, Lynn
