Getting Rid of Fruit Flies Naturally
Posted on August 2, 2012 Written by 7 Comments
I hate fruit flies! They’re really easy to attract. Some fruit left a little too long, an escaped grape or blueberry, or just really hot humid weather and every day food. If you don’t want fruit flies to keep reoccurring, you must clean up the source. I find that once I figure out the main attraction, […]
Getting the Ants Out – Naturally
Posted on July 1, 2012 Written by 28 Comments
Ants make me crazy. I hate them. I hate them most in my house. I hate the thought of them walking around my house or through my cupboards. I put up with them outside, but I prefer them in small quantities. It used to be that when ants got into my house we’d buy poison […]

Vinegar as Fabric Softener In addition to trying to protect our environment and use less energy, I’m always looking for ways to simplify and save money. Last summer I discovered that instead of fabric softener or dryer sheets or balls, many people use vinegar in the rinse cycle of their laundry. This isn’t a new […]
Line-Drying Your Laundry
Posted on September 13, 2010 Written by 3 Comments
I never thought I’d hang dry my laundry. I kept thinking about how heavy the laundry basket would be coming out of the basement and then how I wouldn’t want my neighbors seeing my laundry hanging out. We’ve hung blankets in our basement before, but I’m not comfortable with the dust and kitty litter down […]
Toxins in Your Life – Fragrance
Posted on August 11, 2010 Written by 2 Comments
As part of “greening” our lifestyle we have have also been starting to look at what is in our products, both in terms of ingredients that are good or bad for the environment and ingredients that are good or bad for people. In recent months I have been surprised to learn that ingredients that are […]
