Historical Household

For ages now we have been living in the "dark ages."
Our family can not help but comment on the fact that we refuse to use a microwave, (for health reasons, NOT vintage.) we don't own a dishwasher, (someday maybe!) We have 2 television channels, I never buy paper towels, we use a push mower, and we cloth diaper our babies.

Now, Just recently I began to think of how "vintage" this all really is. That was not the original intention, we just wanted to live as "green" and "low-impact" as possible.
I love reading old Good House Keeping magazines, and learning new techniques for tending to my home.

I don't know how this evaded me for so long, but today, I pulled out the bottle of Vinegar and went to work.
Let me tell you, I never imagined something as simple as vinegar and warm water could bust through grime and junk. Which with two kids in the house, there is plenty of junk.
I scrubbed the beauty back into my oven, my walls are now white, and my tea kettle has a nice little glitter to it.
All without the use of harsh chemicals that are dangerous for children. Today is a good day.
