Homemade Doggie Treats!


With the silly amount of puppies currently inhabiting our life, I figure now was as good of a time to try to make my own dog treats. 
I immediately began googling and pinteresting for recipes. 
There are a lot of recipe options!!
After looking at approximately 15 recipes and noticing the similarities between them all, I figured I could just create a recipe and see how it turned out. 

Ingredients; 
1/3 cup of Peanut Butter
2 cups Whole Wheat Flour 
1 tbl Vegetable Oil 
1 cup of Oatmeal 
1 cup of Water 

Combine water, peanut butter, and oil together. 
Slowly add flour to wet mixture one cup at a time with your mixture on low speed. 
Kneed in Oatmeal (I did this by hand!). 
 Roll and cut into various shapes for your fur babies! 
Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes. 
*these treats don't expand so they will hold the shape of your cookie cutter!*

My fur babies loved these treats! 
Store in an airtight container for optimal texture.

DIY Frugal Floor Cleaner


If you're anything like me, you hate spending money on unnecessary things. 
I hate buying floor cleaner. 
I feel like floor cleaner is basically a combination of the other cleaners I already purchase, but in a bottle labelled 'floor' just to get you to buy it.
So, I decided to make my own.
And let me tell you. 
It works wonders. 

Living in an apartment has its perks, but what is the most annoying about our apartment is that the entry way leads right into the kitchen. 
And this is Canada. 
We get a lot of snow. 
So we are constantly tracking in snow, slush, dirt, salt, and who knows what else!
I needed a super cleaner that was going to get the job done the first time.

Ingredients;
4 cups hot water (*if your tap water doesn't get hot enough, boil some or use water directly from the keurig!)
2-3 tablespoons of Dishsoap (I prefer sunlight for this!)
1/2 cup of vinegar 
1/8 cup of baking soda
the juice of 1 lemon
