You can use the citrus leaf cleaner to mop floors by mixing one half cup with a half bucket of water (1.5 gallon). Or use it full strength for extra tough cleaning jobs. It works well for floors or counters. The price online at Method’s website is $4, but I’ve found it cheaper in stores like Target.

How does it compare to Green Works by Clorox? Method makes more suds in the mop bucket, but not too many. The scent is more subtle and less sweet smelling. As for cleaning power, they both clean about the same, but I prefer Method since they don’t test on animals.

Have you tried Method dilutable cleaner?

Citrus Leaf Dilutable Cleaner from Method

Kidsonroof Mobile Home

Kids can take this home everywhere — not true of the typical doll house. Also, not to get sexist but my son who is all boy in the most boy way one can be even likes this house. He told me it looks cool and most doll homes he passes off as, “Girly.” Yes we are working on him never calling things “Girly.” It’s the only thing he does that really frustrates me.
Kids can play with this 360 degrees, pick it up, carry it around, take it in the car, and even sit it on their lap. The home has 8 rooms along with various stair openings and spyholes plus an attic space.

Other perks:

• Made of strong, stable 100% recycled cardboard.
• 100% biodegradable.
• Thoroughly tested: CE approved.
• Easy to assemble and folds down flat for storage.
• No sharp corners and opens on all sides.
• Kids on the Roof donates 5% of purchase to UNICEF.

My perk for you is that it encourages imagination better than a typical doll house. Don’t get me wrong I love some doll houses. However, with the Mobile Home, kids can perceive their own rooms and how they’d like the spaces to be arranged. They can decorate how they choose and simply swim in the simplicity of design that is the blue cardboard house.

Available at Spunky Sprout.

Offbeat Holiday Gift Guide: Home for the Kiddos

I have no idea what’s going on here. Unusual Life — a super keen oddball blog posted this a while back with no explanation. However, on the upside, I suppose if you built an entire city out of eggs that it would at least be biodegradable. Perhaps a little too much so. Still, it’s so slick. How did this guy do it? Maybe I’ll look it up. Better yet anyone know and want to tell me?

Wow is right folks. Do you think they’re real eggs? I’m guessing yes. 

Visit Unusual Life for more curiosities. In fact I’ll make it easy for you. Right now they have a Meat Cake and something I wish I’d seen first The Impossible Building which looks oddly like Legos on steroids.
