Hi! My name is Crystin. I am a "homemaker" in training I suppose. My resume is pretty extensive. I am currently an {okay} cook, a boo boo kisser, a playmate, a jungle gym, bug catcher, butt wiper... I think I'm missing butcher, {I'm not a} baker, and candle stick maker. We will put a pin in that. I am a stay at home mom to two boys and a wife to a pretty awesome husband who thinks I'm pretty awesome too. I love learning new things, tricks, tips, recipes, cleaning technique. I really love being a Home Maker and I am always still learning. I have a strange sense of humor sometimes but I always try to be honest. Motherhood is hard and I am doing the best I can with what I have. A mother's life is dirty, messy, fun, silly, pretty gross sometimes...it's exhausting, enjoyable and all in all, a darn good time.

Jewelry Cleaner

I found a great "recipe" for jewelry cleaner online today and HAD to share. Normally I just use plain old toothpaste, but most of my rings that I own have small intricate details or raised stones and it's very hard to clean underneath the setting.  I don't take my engagement ring off alot and that's the worst to clean. This recipe is super easy and after a 10 minute soak, my rings were completely dazzling!

Jewelry Cleaner

1 cup water
1 T dish soap
1 T baking soda
1 T salt
cereal bowl (or smallish bowl)
a piece of aluminum foil that roughly covers the bottom of the bowl

Put aluminum foil on the bottom of the boil. Microwave water on high for 1 to 2 minutes.  Pour water in the bowl, add additional ingredients and let your jewelry soak for 5 to 10 minutes.  Remove jewelry and dry completely.

BLING BLING!

*Note* I only have tried this on my white gold and gold rings. I have no idea how it will work other jewelry materials.
