58 days until Christmas ....

Yesterday I was very happy because I received the first Christmas ornaments,  from my husban's sister. Once I saw them my face lit with joy. I love Christmas and I love it even more now that I have children. 

I love this tree made by glass. It's so pretty...

Sweet sweet Christmas...



I can not wait to decorate my home with these beauties.....

An "old" notebook advice

 Today i will  give you some advice on the household for some everyday problems and emergencies that can happen to anyone! Simple tips that I learned from my grandmother, my mother and some other housewives.

•  Vinegar ...  
• 
  
Each time you use the dishwasher add 3 tablespoons of vinegar. The plates and glasses are more shiny and neutralizes unpleasant odors.

• To disapear the salts from the kettle, boil some water with vinegar and it will clean up immediately.

• A little vinegar, some water and some baking soda a mixture to clean your refrigerator and your kitchen surfaces. An eco-cleaner that kills germs!!

Know some practical advice?
