Ant Killer Recipe...

Happy Monday, everyone! I thought I would throw this out there for those of you who are interested...because it is Spring and I know alot of you are probably in the same boat as I am.

It's that time of year again. ANT season. Yep. Last year I had a whole "gang" of them marching one by one through my living room...I could have SCREAMED! We get the huge black carpenter ants that make a huge mess when you step on them. You know what I mean?

Anyway, my mom gave me her special "recipe" for ant killer and also gave me some of her already made stuff. So, I put it out and I am telling you...within 48 hours, my ants were GONE. It was amazing!

So, here is the recipe...hope it works for you!

**Ant Killer**
1/3 cup PURE Maple Syrup (artificial won't work)
1 Level tsp. Boric Acid (I got a huge bottle of it for just $5.99 at the hardware store)

Heat acid and syrup until acid is dissolved. Cool. Dilute with an equal amount of water. Store in a glass jar. Put poison in jar lids where ants feed. (Keep out of reach of children and pets!)
"Special" ingredients!
Boiling the ingredients.
Storing the Ant Killer...mark your jar well! :)

The Pickle Juice Company Review

How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer! Before I continue wi...

Carmex Vanilla & Lime Twist Review & Prize Pack GIVEAWAY {CLOSED}

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** Well, as you have probably noticed I do not have a shortage of lip balms in my house. I do have a sister who is crazy about lip balms too, so I make sure to pass on some of my goodies to her. My daughter is also really fond of these little sticks of balm too...and LOVES to put on like two or three inches of it when she is given the chance! As a Carmex Blog Squad Member , I am privileged to bring you new and exciting products that Carmex has recently released and they are NEVER a disappointment!

Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream Review

Because I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad , I am informed of and privileged to bring you reviews of Carmex's newest products! This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have really grown to love the Carmex brand. The newest products that have been introduced by Carmex are lovely and will definitely impress you as they have me. Because I am a mom, I wash my hands frequently. After diaper changes, before cleaning wounds, bathroom breaks, preparing food...all this requires clean hands. Because I usually apply lotion while I am moving and going from one thing to the next, I do not like a greasy lotion. I HATE applying a cream and having to "dry" my hands for the next half hour. What a perfectly good waste of time that is. So, I was wondering what Carmex would offer me in way of fast and quickly absorbing lotion. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Carmex for those of you who are new to their brand... Carmex® lip balm was invented in 1...
