Fruit fly, don't bother me: Get rid of fruit flies naturally (no chemicals)

Smack, "That's the third fruit fly I killed today." DH said

"Uh, oh, did we leave any fruit out or a peel of some kind?"

He looked in the office trash can and pulled out a banana peel, "Yup. Just for the record, it wasn't me."

Anyone who has had fruit flies in the house, knows they are a nuisance and that they multiply very quickly. Last time my husband's answer was to spray the place but I hate chemicals in the house. I asked him to give me a week before he tried that. I proceeded to plugged up all the sinks 'cause that's where they live when they can't find fruit then I start some research. My first trap was a bowl with apple cider vinegar with plastic wrap on top and holes poked in. By the evening, it caught 4 flies and 3 or 4 were hovering above it.

My husband was impressed. I told him I think a soda bottle will work better. He found one, took off the cap, cut off the top, inverted the top half and put it on the bot…

Halloween Showdown

Going Potty With a Bear

It was our last day at Corbin Cabin in Shenandoah National Park. George Corbin built the cabin around 1910. His family was one of the residents kicked out of his home after Shenandoah became a National Park. In the 1950s, the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club (PATC), renovated it and now, maintains and rents the cabin. We already planned a trip in the backcountry and I thought a night in the cabin is a nice break from tent camping.

It has an outhouse/privy about 40-50 yards from the cabin. Before heading out on the trail, the girls and I went for our last bathroom trip before having to pee in the woods. I pressed against the door so I could get the master lock off the latch. The whole time I'm breathing through my mouth to protect my nose from the putrid smells.

Me: Who wants to go first?

My girls were quiet. The privy reeked.

Me: Fine, I'll go. Face the other way.

We like to keep the door open while going, in hopes of airing it out. As I turn and unbutton, my daughter …
