Hey guys!

Oh my goodness, things have been so crazy here… I wish I could share it all with you but we are trying our best not to ‘jinx’ ourselves but my patience is wearing thin and I’m about ready to scream because I JUST WANT TO TELL THE WHOLE WORLD HOW EXCITED WE ARE!

This idea came to me many years ago after I had been thrown up on numerous times... I really couldn't even begin to guess how many times I've been puked on. The kids would run to the trash can if they couldn't make it to the bathroom so I thought, 'Why not get a trash can that they can carry with them?'. Pretty genius, huh? There is no way to tell you just how many times these simple buckets have saved the day. They keep our house running fairly smoothly when the flu season hits as I don't have to stop numerous times throughout the day to clean up vomit... yuck! I even keep one handy for myself as I start gagging when I hear someone else puking.

Our house seems to be a spider haven and while Halloween is getting close and I could just pretend the cobwebs are decorations I’ve decided I can’t handle all of these spiders. Mr. Awesome calls them ‘house spiders’ but I don’t like them and neither do the kids.

I know they are very beneficial in many ways but we just have too many. So in an effort to control them and hopefully keep them out of certain areas I made up some Spider Be Gone Spray. Continue reading “Spider Be Gone Spray” →

Homemade Poopourri Spray

Recently I was asked to purchase some ‘Poo Spray‘. We have one small bathroom to share among all of us and the idea was a good one however when I researched the prices on Amazon they were rather expensive. So rather than flushing all that money away, I decided to make my own. Continue reading “Homemade Poopourri Spray” →

Chickenpox Remedy

Published on November 30, 2017October 10, 2025 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

I know Chickenpox is not as common as it once was but boy do I remember when my oldest son got it. I was pregnant with my second child and I got it too for the second time. It was a bit uncomfortable for me but my husband had never had them. He and his cousin caught them and they were miserable until I came up with this to use for them.

This would probably be good for any kind of itchy rash that you may have. This combined with the BRAT/BOAT diet can also help with the discomfort from hand, foot, mouth disease.
