Fight Windshield Grime With Homemade Washer Fluid

windshield washer fluid

This time of year where I live is often referred to as the “mud season”. It runs from the closing of the ski resorts to the beginning of June and everything is very, very muddy. Including my car!

Needless to say I go through a fair amount of windshield washer fluid this time of year. Actually, come to think of it, I go through a fair amount of the stuff YEAR-ROUND.

Fortunately, the hubster (Dave) usually keeps me well-supplied with the blue stuff.

UNfortunately, he’s out of town this week and I completely ran out.

Do I Need To Wash This? Some Professional Laundry Tips + A “One Good Thing By Jillee” T-shirt Giveaway!

washing guidelines

 

Common sense dictates, to me at least, that if you need to ask the above question, then the answer is probably YES! :-) But, that’s not necessarily ALWAYS the case. And to be quite honest, I don’t think this stuff is all that intuitive. For example, when I was a newlywed, I didn’t have a clue how often I should wash the bedding. Every week? Every month? (Turns out I was at least in the ballpark!)

So when I ran across this list on The American Cleaning Institute website, I thought it was worthwhile information and decided to share it with all of you.

Simple Garlic Honey Pork Chops

It occurred to me a couple of days ago that I haven’t posted a RECIPE for quite awhile. I’m not exactly sure why, but I figured it was time to remedy that!  We had these delicious pork chops Sunday afternoon and even though it turned out too chilly to eat them outdoors, they were thoroughly enjoyed indoors. I’ll just have to make them again soon so we can enjoy them al fresco as well, because this is a perfect summertime meal!

There are a couple of things I really LOVE about this recipe. First of all, I love a recipe that I almost always have all the ingredients on hand for, without having to make a special trip to the store!  This is one of those recipes.

How To Give A Room A Color Makeover Pt. 2 – The Big Reveal! Plus A Sherwin-Williams Giveaway!

after color makeover

What a difference a day AND a coat of paint can make! A little over two weeks ago, I told you a little bit about the basement apartment my son and daughter-in-law live in that needed a little home decor love. It was especially in need of a shot of COLOR to breathe some life into a very WHITE space.

With the help of the Sherwin-Williams ColorSnap® mobile app, Kaitlyn and Erik were able to find “the perfect yellow” they were hoping for to bring some “sunshine” into their sterile kitchen/dining area.

Organizing Your Essential Oils {Or Any Other Collection of Small Items}!

organizing drawers

Someone asked me last week how I organized my essential oils and essential oils supplies. It was then I realized that I really DON’T organize them….until NOW! :-)  I wish I could remember who posed the question…because I owe that person a big THANK YOU for the motivation I needed to get my growing “Fragrant Pharmacy” in order.
