1 // A SAFER NAIL POLISH
Have you heard of Piggy Paint nail polish? They are a small business focusing on non-toxic, water-based nail polish. I stumbled on them while looking for Easter basket ideas for my daughter and ended up buying her this gift set. She loved it.
2 // STICKERS!
I decided to try Sticker Giant for the first time and was so impressed. I designed my sticker on Canva and it was a quick process to upload it to the site and order. I appreciate that they send you a proof before printing so you can see exactly how everything will line up on the sticker. We picked the matte finish so we could write on them and it was perfect for our needs. Our chicken looks so professional!
3 // A REUSABLE SWIFFER PAD
With supply chain issues and the rising cost of everything, I’ve been trying to invest in more long term solutions. And if I can purchase from a small business, it’s a win/win! My latest find was from the shop, JuniperSeed Mercantile. I bought a set of washable, reusable Swiffer mop pads and I love them! Great quality. (I also purchased their reusable bamboo hankies, but haven’t tried them yet. They are on the smaller side, but really soft.)
4 // A SWEET TREAT FOR ALL THOSE STRAWBERRIES
It’s strawberry season! One of our favorite treats is strawberry shortcake and I use this recipe for the biscuits. Quick, easy and delicious.
5 // EFFECTIVE FRUIT FLY REMOVAL
Having my sourdough on the counter attracts fruit flies, which is so annoying. Thankfully, I found a nontoxic trap-type thing called Fly Punch and it’s quickly gotten the problem under control. I bought mine on Grove, but you can also find them on Amazon.
Fruit flies are awful…will totally get some fly punch. Our weather hasn’t warmed up enough that they are a problem yet…, but july-october can be rough! I sewed up some hankies using and old pair of flannel pj pants, and they are great! Need to do that again.
Such a great idea! I’ll have to check and see if we have any flannels that have seen better days.
It is so great that you found a clean nail polish
I’m pretty impressed with the quality too! They also have an adult line, so I may purchase a few for myself. 🙂
For fruit flies my favourite solution is a couple drops of dishwashing soap in a saucer of apple cider vinegar. The soap breaks the surface tension so they fall in and drown when the land on the fruity vinegar
That’s a great tip, thank you!
