Flop.

This pin didn't go over so well, despite the picture of Silas looking entertained and happy. I was feeling like a stick in the mud, and didn't want to have to clean up a mess, so I tried this. Silas knew it wasn't the real deal, and he wanted to play with the paint outside of the bag. But he humored me, and tried it out for about 3 minutes!

Never Have I Ever...

...cleaned an oven.

 I don't know how I've escaped it for this long. I know you can't be around those types of chemicals when you're pregnant, and since I've been pregnant for majority of the last two and half years, I'll just use that as my excuse :) 

We've lived in this apartment for 2 years now, and our oven was looking pretty gross, so I started looking for natural ways to clean an oven. I wanted to avoid having such strong chemicals in the house with little kiddos around. I found this pin. You just spritz some water on the bottom of the oven, then sprinkle 1/4 inch of baking soda over that. I only left it for about 30 minutes before wiping it off, but I was impressed! 



My oven before.
