Uses for Ammonia Water

"Ammonia water will accomplish many jobs. It's a 'must' among your housecleaning supplies."

You can purchase household cleaning ammonia or basic clear ammonia at any store that carries cleaning supplies.

You can use this on anything basically. Follow the directions for diluting with water!

Home girl in the picture here is using ammonia water to clean her oven.

Set the pan in the oven and close the door.

LET SIT OVERNIGHT.

Don't bake it!

Then the next day use a steel wool pad and some soap to clean the oven out, rinsing with ammonia water.

You can use your ammonia water to clean just about any surface in your kitchen, bathroom, and floors. It is also an odor eliminator. If your pet has an accident on the floor, clean the area with this solution, and then rinse with water.

With all the uses for ammonia water, you can see why in MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING the dad uses Windex for everything!

Don't knock it till you tried it!

God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post. This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion. Jesus would go on to be betraye...

1 January 2018 - Happy New Year!!

A couple years ago I started collecting interesting antique books. I love seeing a peek into the time period the book was written. Until the end of 2017 I was a stay at home mom. We moved across the country and a new chapter began for our family. This morning for the beginning of the new year I pick up my "Illustrated Almanac for Homemakers" book. This book was written in 1974. Just check out those bellbottoms. Originally sold for $9.95. I bought at Half Price Books for $7.00 I thought this book would be fun to flip through. Just see what homemakers were doing in the 1970's verses what I was doing or not doing. So for 2018 I thought it would be fun to see what I can accomplish this 365 days from this almanac even though I am no longer a full time homemaker. Lets begin in January! Each month has a super cute illustration featuring our homemaker heroine! It's the first day of the first year so let's peek at today's tas...

Tips on Buying Lamb "A reference to "spring lamb"may make your mouth water - and well it should." Lamb is typically thought of as a seasonal meat with celebrations of Passover and Easter where lamb is usually eaten. A spring lamb is usually 3-5 months old so that the meat is very tender.
