I mixed together 1 cup of BORAX POWDER with 1 cup of BAKING SODA in a small bowl with a fork until combined and there were no clumps. Then, I added 15 drops of my favorite ESSENTIAL OIL. (I made one scented "cucumber melon" and a second scented "fresh linen".) I poured the powder mixture into a pint mason jar and covered with a lid. Stored in a dry place, the powder mixture will last for a very long time.
To use for deodorizing carpets, simply sprinkle on your carpet and let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then vacuum as you normally would. To deodorize a room or problem area in your home, simply pour into a dish and leave uncovered in that area.
I am in LOVE with this! ♥
Also, Daddy Dale and Sean have almost finished installing our new wood stove. I think it looks wonderful and it almost makes me want to wish for those snowy days to come with their freezing Maine temperatures... almost.
Tomorrow is going to be a long work day around the farm. I can't wait! We have so many projects to work on and I am looking forward to a nice long update full of pictures for you all. For now, it is time for this farm girl to get some rest.
Good night, friends.

The stove looks great. Now if anyone can con me into coming up there in the winter I know I won't turn into a Kimmycicle. I might make up some of the carpet stuff too, I have all the ingredients hanging around.
