Cleaning with Vinegar

       You know in those moments when you think "Oh, I'll never do that or be like that" but then you turn out to be like that. There is a lot of DIY things that makes it cheaper on you as a person to have like cleaners and decorations and so on. For some reason, those things get me to thinking when I actually do those things like cleaning with vinegar. I knew it was a good cleaner and learned that in college and other ways but never thought I would do it.
          Of course, I was in college when I thought that. I was stubborn and thought I could get everything with money and so on but that's not the way my life is going right now. I also thought, like in an earlier entry, I could make my own food but right now it is the easiest to make boxed food. It is something I do need to get use to because with my dream, I will be supporting children with the money that is being made and making things like cleaners and clothes. Not really, but it is possible because I know how.
            Things cost so much these days. There are barely any small or big families that live on homemade things. You do that now if you are just single and by yourself because really there is no one else to care. You work and/or go back to school until you find the one that is right for you. Cleaning with vinegar, also humbles me a lot because it makes me see how much money I really have. It is a part of the missionary life. I might not have enough money to by name brand cleaners but at least I have some money to buy vinegar. Some people don't even have that much money.
             I will admit I would like to take the recipes and crafts off of Pinterest and do those someday. I learned to make my own clothes, blankets, and laundry soap while cooking for 10 people in a big house. Sometimes if people really know me that will say that I want marriage and I won't argue with them because it is true but there are some things I want before that and I just have to learn the fastest way to do things now as a single and then I can do the other things when I get a bigger house or get married. It is just no point in doing it now for me even though I could start living that way so I will be use to it when I do get married.
             That might be my New Year's resolution, making my own things. I can save money that way for school and a family plus it is fun. People always say prepare for marriage and this is the way I want it. This is what I want. It is funny because I'm taking the preparing for marriage the totally opposite way that some girls would but that is me. I am the simple, country girl. Put me in a cabin out in the woods and I would make it. I like to make life as simple as I can. Might not seem like it sometimes because I am a deep thinker too but doing things I like the simplest of ways.
               Whether it is cleaning with vinegar or a name brand cleaner, just remember the kind of life you are living. Do you want to live where you are making a difference or where you are just following someone else? I turned this whole entry into a thought process. Like how I did that? You can turn anything into a learning and thinking process.
