    @morgoodie, yes and I was surprised when I went to put my bread loaves in bags, the ants were all over the bread!!  I hadn’t even seen any prior to that!!  So, I’m nipping the ant problem in the bud before they get out of control.  So today, I’m doing some deep cleaning in the kitchen!!  😉

    The other day after I made some home made bread and was waiting for it to cool , I discovered there were ants on the cupboard!!  It seems like last summer I also encountered ants on the counters.  I tired vanilla, I tried vinegar to keep them away to no avail!!  So, this year instead of fighting them, we bought some spray that will kill ants and…[Read more]

    I like to use vinegar and water to keep my faucets shiny (and sinks when I have stainless steel sinks.)  I also use vinegar and water to keep my stove top (the controllers) clean and shiny.  To disinfect counter tops I use a mixture of bleach and water.

    JoDee Stout wrote a new post, It’s Called “Law Of Attraction?” 8 years, 5 months ago

    Lately I’ve been hearing/seeing people talk about  the “Law of Attraction.  In fact there is even a group here about it.  Since inquiring minds want to know, I have been doing my own research on this topic.  A […]

    • The law of attraction is the name given to the maxim “like attracts like” which in New Thought philosophy is used to sum up the idea that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts a person brings positive or negative experiences into their life.

      Law of attraction is called the law of correspondence in technical term. This law is present in all thing because all things earth are male and female, positive and negative, yin and yong…

      The Law of Attraction can be understood by understanding that ‘like attracts like’. What this means is that whether we realize it or not, we are responsible for bringing both positive and negative influences into our lives.

      A key part of the Law of Attraction is understanding that where you place your focus can have an intense impact on what happens to you. If you spend your days wallowing in regrets about the past or fears of the future, you’ll likely see more negativity appearing, but if you look for the silver lining in every experience then you’ll soon start to see positivity surrounding you every day.

      Therefore, the Law of Attraction encourages you to see that you have the freedom to take control of how your future develops, shaping it in the ways you choose.

    JoDee Stout wrote a new post, My Favorite Five Scents 8 years, 5 months ago

    This was a challenge I had to think hard about!! 😉  We smell so many different smells, that finding “favorite” smells is hard.  I don’t like picking any “favorite” of anything anyway, because I might like some t […]

    • It’s amazing how many of us have the same favourites! You are not the first to mention vanilla, for example. And I’m sure many would agree that baking bread is a comfort smell.

      You mentioned the smell of freshly mowed grass, and one of mine was new mown hay, which is very similar.

    • great challenge and unique, you love the smell of mowed grass?

      Gee, you must have kept moving your garden every month!

      Vanilla, is it essence that you mix into cake batter?
      the smell isn’t nice when I smell from the bottle but once mixed into the cake batter, it gives a superb, delicious take of fragrant butter cake.

      Yes, I loved fresh baked bread and pies and cakes, simply fragrant and hungry.

      I hate to visit the bakery, I would have to spend money on buying those freshly baked breads and buns!

      Nice post and you sure are good at this!

    • We do love the same smells, pies! But I am more ripe pineapple than vanilla.

    • I like the smell of lavender, rain, roses, lilacs, as well as fresh baked goods.

    • I also love the smell of a freshly baked bread. It reminds me of a sunny, bright mornings. And also the aroma of coffee.

      I love to bake, so yeah, vanilla is such a sweet, sweet smell. And you are absolutely right, vanilla has that relaxing scent.

    • I love the smell of baking bread. It reminds me of the holidays because that is when my mom would make it. There is nothing like a slice of freshly baked bread still warm from the oven with some butter on it. I want some now. I love vanilla too!! I think it is a popular scent and can be very versatile. I love the smell of rain too. Especially when it hits the hot pavement on a summer’s day. It has a metallic smell to it but it smells clean. Grass I am not a fan of the smell since it gets my allergies going and I start sneezing. Great post @JoDee

    • Almost everyone in the planet like much smells of baked bread.We can identify what is cooked or baked through smell. Sense of smell is very sensitive that it can lead us to change flavors of the stuff we want to eat.

    • I am a SCENTimental person. I do love smelling perfumes. I have a distinct nosey smell of things. When I pass by a bakery, or any food outlet wherein a vanilla spills and produces scent across the air, I stop for a moment and have a breath of smell of it. Hmm… hmmm… hmmm… Also, I love the smell of a newly mowed ground or lawn. I don’t know what makes or leads me to obsess of smelling them. I feel comfortable, have the feeling of or at ease with those kind of scents.

    • My favorite scents are roses, ripe bananas, ripe peaches,chocolate,prettymynites, I’m not sure what the proper name is for that flower but I’ve always heard them called prettymynites, and honeysuckle is my favorite scent of all.

    • Freshly mowed grass is a fave scent. Gardenia flowers is another. Fresh baked bread and coffee. My husband cooking in the kitchen. Most of the time whatever he’s making, it usually smells really good! 🙂

    I believe that your real name shows up with your profile picture.  When you click on your picture it will go to your profile ..@shavkat is the username.  When I signed up, it asked for username and I picked one..so it will be different from my real name.  Hope this helps out!!

    I don’t really worry about it… whatever will be will be.  As long as I’m making some money, I don’t care how long it takes.  Besides it’s always nice to have other sites to work on and make money on as well.

    It seems that Burger King is testing a new food out.  It would be the Whopper in a burrito and would be called the “Whopperito!!”  It would have everything, including the vegetables and cheese that is in a whopper only in a burrito form!!

    Would you buy a whopperito?
