Welcome

Welcome Friends!! This little blog is for all my friends and family that have requested I share my recipes and other homemaking ideas… As most of you know, we moved onto a 64 acre farm about two years ago… we still have our Family Nights, but now many of us live up here on the farm: Mom and Dad live with Lanny and I, Paula built her house in one of the existing barns, Robbie and Molly built inside the big barn by us… You can check it all out on our blog the Johnson Gap Chronicles… Anyway, I am still fermenting and brewing all over my kitchen, but our Tuesday night dinners are not as large as they used to be. All the grands except 2 are grown, have jobs, live in other cities, and with the recent Covid insanity (and our daughter-in-laws heart transplant) James and Tasha are not out much lately. We just move on and look forward to better days. Thanks for peeking in… check back now and then and I promise to add new recipes and ideas as I am inspired :-) God bless!!

Mimi’s Ideas for Saving Money When You Clean


You don’t need a cabinet full of cleaning supplies. You really only need a few: Baking Soda, White Vinegar, Hydrogen Peroxide, Salt and Lemons. 



Make your own laundry detergent. You can save a bunch of money as well as your clothes and skin. Seriously, harsh detergents break down the fibers in your clothing and towels and they wear out faster (check out the lint trap in your dryer...that’s your clothes coming apart in there). And all those chemicals just aren’t that good for delicate skin like mine! 

I have recipes for detergent as well as a list of uses for the supplies above. Give it a try and you may find you only need one little corner of that pantry shelf to store your cleaning supplies. And the bonus is that all of it is non-toxic and safe for your family and your pets.
