In my last post I mentioned mopping the kitchen with water that had essence of peppermint in it. I've gotten several comments, and emails with questions regarding it. I didn't even really stop to think - peppermint / Christmas - of course it sounds perfect for the holiday season.

I've heard imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, and in that vein, I copied the idea from my daughter, Sarah, who told me she found it on Anna's blog, at Pleasantview Schoolhouse. I subscribe to her, her blog oozes with peace, and she's full of tips on making your home a lovely place to be. This post, "Delicious Mopping" will tell you all about making your home smell Christmasy while cleaning your floors too.

I'm not sure what brand Anna uses, or where she gets it; I bought mine at GNC, a 4 oz bottle called "100% Pure & Natural Peppermint Oil". It cost $16.99 but will easily last at least a year.

I'm all about sharing the love, so copy to your heart's content! I personally think peppermint smells a heck of a lot better than 'wet dog'....
