Got Vinegar? You Have A Cheap and Easy Weed Killer!

killing weeds with vinegar

 

Got Weeds? Who DOESN’T this time of year!?!? I am growing an especially fine crop of them in the cracks of my backyard patio! So I decided it was time to take action and bring out my big bottle of HERBICIDE! (Better known as the jug of vinegar under my sink!!) Yep…that cheap, undiluted, store-brand white vinegar that you buy at the grocery store for less than $3 a gallon is a POWERFUL all-natural herbicide. (So be careful not to accidentally splash it on plants you want to keep around!)

All you need to do to use this powerful herbicide is grab a spray bottle, fill it with vinegar and take aim!

Make Your Own All-Natural Deodorant With 2 Simple Ingredients!

all natural deodorant

 

Two Saturday’s ago I invited my sisters to a “flower-planting party“! Which is to say I needed some H E L P and made them think it was a party! haha. Of course they saw right through my ruse of a “party”, but as good sisters do, they showed up anyway!

With the help of my sisters (I have one more sister, JoAnn, who couldn’t make it who is a SPECTACULAR gardener!), the hubster, my 3 boys, My Mom, my Dad, my mother-in-law (who happened to be visiting from North Dakota) and every other unsuspecting by-stander that came within grabbing distance of my flowers beds, we managed to plant a TON of flowers. Way MORE than I planned on because, well, when my Mom and my sisters get together the creative juices get flowing and all kinds of new ideas are born! But that’s another story……

A Clean Bill Of Health For “One Good Thing By Jillee”

virus free

Hi friends,

Just a quick update to let you know we are still working on trying to get to the bottom of all the “VIRUS WARNINGS” that have been plaguing people lately when they try to access this website.

We realize there is some malicious code SOMEWHERE on the site that is triggering this “false positive” for many of you, but finding it is proving to be like the proverbial needle in a haystack. BUT, (crossing fingers and toes here!) we think we’ve found an ad that might have been causing the problem! (Any finger and toe-crossing you feel like adding to the cause would be much appreciate!)  :-)  We should know within the next 24 hours.

I just wanted to share that my computer specialist has run every test out there to make sure there is nothing on this website that will harm your computer! The below screenshots show you can be confident your visits to One Good Thing By Jillee will be a SAFE browsing experience! (Even though the annoying pop-ups, etc. might say otherwise…..for now!)

BACK TO “SEARCH AND DESTROY BAD CODE” MISSION! :-)

How To Pack A Carry-On Like A Pro!

how to pack a carry-on

I got home late last night from another trip to New York City (second on in two months!). As fun as it is to go the “big city” every once in awhile….I wouldn’t mind staying put for a little while either. :-)

Anyway you look it it….traveling is STRESSFUL! But, one thing I did differently this time that made it a little LESS stressful was I finally researched and found a way to pack a carry-on that was SO much easier than I’ve been doing it in the past. A number of people have actually asked me about this lately so I thought this might be a good time to see what I could come up with!

How To Clean A Microfiber Couch (or Sofa)

micro fiber couch

Welcome to another edition of “Save My Sanity Saturday”! :-) I hope you will enjoy this oldie, but goodie!

I have received SO many requests/questions about how to clean microfiber couches that I’ve begun to feel a little guilty that I haven’t posted anything about this. Problem is….I don’t HAVE a microfiber couch…and I REALLY prefer to try stuff out before I pass it on to you.

But today I’m going to make an exception because I found this post by Robin at Chris and Robin’s Nest and after reading ALL 421 COMMENTS I think I have a PRETTY good handle on this problem. At least good enough to get you started and then link you up to Robin’s original post for the “How-To”.
