Clean Washing Machine

As you all know we moved into an apartment a few months ago. The part I liked about the apartment is that we have a washer and dryer in the apartment and we don't half to load up laundry and take it to the machines or anything like that.  Well I wanted t get things in order for the baby to come and get all the cloth diapers prepped before the little one got here. Well I took a good look at the washing machine and thought......NO way am I putting all my cloth diapers in that dirty machine! Well I took some time and decided to clean it out so I set off to pintrest to see how to clean it.

This is what it started off like. Yuck I know!! The top part that looks like a shadow ring around the top is a very disgusting ring of god knows what around the top. It was that way when we moved in. I can't believe I didn't do this earlier.

You will need :
2 Cups of Bleach
2 Cups of Vinegar
a microfiber cloth

First: Turn your water to the hottest setting. Then turn it to the largest load you can do fill the washer. Stop the cycle and add the bleach. Let it soak for an hour. Drain it and fill it up again. This time add the vinegar and let it set for an hour again. When it has set for an hour then get out your cloth and go to town on scrubbing off the yucky gunk. I did a good job but my arms got tired after a while and my big pregnant belly made it hard for me to clean it too long. Brian stepped in to help thank goodness. ( I also cleaned the drum part in the middle it was pretty yucky as well) After we scrubbed it all out and made it shine like new. I was so proud of what it looked like when I was done.

This is what it looked like after a few hours and some elbow grease!

 

I was not afraid to wash my cloth diapers in this clean washer! It took a few more hours to prep the diapers and I was done for the night!!

 

 

Updated pictures

I have gotten things settled for the most part with the new apartment. Here are the pictures I said that I would put up when we got things up and on the wall.

This is our bedroom. (No that is not a person in the bed it is just my pregnancy pillow)

This is our bathroom and closet ( I love how much room I have)

The kitchen with fall decor.

This is what we use as a pantry (one of the drawbacks to the apartment not enough space in the kitchen)

The look to the living room. I LOVE the fireplace.

Another pic of my fireplace.

 

 

I have not done much with the baby room. Maybe I should get started on that baby is due in 9 weeks! I will post pictures when we get done with the room. I can't wait.

Pumpkin contest

                              Can you guess from this picture what Brian and I are making??

Well if you guessed making a pumpkin sundae for Brian's work pumpkin contest you guessed correct!!!

If you didn't that's OK. Leave in the comments what you thought it was.

Brian came home about a week ago and told me that they were having a pumpkin decorating contest at work and they had a few rules : They Could only spend $10, it could not be carved, and it had to be finished by the 23rd.

After a lot of searching for ideas on Pinterest we thought we would make an ice cream sundae out of pumpkins!!!

Here are a few of the during and final pictures. I think we did a great job!! I hope he wins....If he does then he gets a pizza party for him and some of his coworkers (funny I know)

                                I think it is pretty cute and it even looks good enough to eat!
