I usually review books or movies but I found a blog that I just have to share. It’s called One Good Thing and every day the author gives you one good thing. It may be a recipe, a craft or a way to do something cheaper yourself.
The author of this blog, Jillie, has had some personal challenges including suffering from alcohol addiction. Her website is now her passion and she brings the rest of us something good, every day.
Jillie really has an answer for everything! People ask her how to do things cheaper, how to replace store bought items with ones you can make at home, how to cook things, how to clean things, and Jillie finds the answers.
On her blog there are several categories, recipes, crafts, homemade solutions, bright ideas and DIY so it’s very easy to find what you are looking for.
The thing that interested me at first was the homemade solutions. I’m always looking for things for my home that are less expensive and contain fewer chemicals and additives than what you can buy in the store. Jillie has an answer for just about everything. Her solutions are not always the “greenest” ones, but they are less expensive than the store bought stuff and you know exactly what ingredients your family is being exposed to.
I haven’t tried everything she has suggested but what I have tried, I love. Jillie tests everything out on herself, her sisters and her family to make sure you are going to love it before she posts it on her blog. The best thing is that most of the stuff is simply made with things you already have in the house.
Her DIY category has everything from faux baseboards to biodegradable bird feeders. Go read this blog, I promise you will come back often and probably find some things you can’t live without.
