2020 Stinks. Your home doesn’t have to!

December 22, 2020 by Jill 2 Comments

This post is sponsored by Febreze at Sam’s Club. All opinions are my own.

2020 has been quite the year. I know I’m not alone when I say that I’ll be happy to see the backside of this year. It hasn’t been all bad but there’s been enough stuff that has met the threshold of stinky, I can declare “2020 Stinks” and not be ashamed about it.

2021 is within sniffing distance and we are ready for it. WE. ARE. SO. READY. There has been so much togetherness at our house this year. If one good thing has come out of it, it is that I’ve gotten to know my family a little bit better.

There is a downside to so much togetherness, though. My house doesn’t smell as fresh as it used to. Two 10-year-old boys. Enough said, right?

Raise your hand if you’re ready to kick the stink out of 2020?

2020 Stinks. Your home doesn’t have to!

So. Ready.

You can do exactly that with this awesome five-pack of Febreze Plug Refills from Sam’s Club. 

Five refills! That’s five rooms in your home that can smell better for longer. YES PLEASE! 

Other air fresheners fade fast, but Febreze lasts 1,200 hours per plug! For a limited time, you can stock up now on refreshing pluggable scents like Aloha Breeze and Linen & Sky for every stinky, smelly spot in your home – and believe me, we have a lot of those. 

Did I mention two 10-year-old boys? The truth of it is, there are a lot of things in our house that have the potential to make things smell less than rosy. But I’ll give you two guesses as to what the top two stink makers are.

We have four bathrooms in our home. This pack covers all of them plus our litter box area. Winning.

Hurry to Sam’s Club or hop on samsclub.com to get yours before they’re gone!  

These are compact and neutral so they go with any decor. They don’t steal the focus of whatever you’ve got going on. These Febreze plug in air fresheners blend in and do what air fresheners are supposed to do. These work with the Febreze Plug Oil Warmer to make your home smell fresh and nice. Even in 2020.

All About Jill

I'm a digital content creator and essayist who copes with parenting and most other situations with humor and snark. Just so you know, if this weren't the internet, I'd be smiling awkwardly and answering simple questions like "How are you today" with gems like "I like pockets."

I really do love pockets, though.

I spent 26 years in the USAF, which went by really, really fast. I'm very proud of my service but I'm loving my second act even more. Writing gives me the opportunity to flex my creative muscles and that's what makes me happy. Welcome.

The pros from @maidprosanantonio were here today and we're doing takeout for dinner and enjoying all the shine and noticeable lack of fingerprints. 

Maidpro San Antonio serves a large portion of the city and the surrounding area and I'm thrilled that they're now in my neck of the woods. Visit the link in my profile and use the code JR2021 to get $100 off a recurring cleaning. #maidpropartner 

I'm totally happy with their services. It gives me some time back in my day to do other stuff and having my kitchen shine like this just makes my happy meter go up, up up!

I know it won't last for THAT long but I'm trying not to think about that!

(AD) Do you ever feel like you’re standing at a (AD) Do you ever feel like you’re standing at a fork in the road? Like…literally? I have been bouncing back and forth between a certain business decision for about a year. I might act like I’m sure of my path but I’m really not. So, I decided to talk to a psychic advisor from @californiapsychics 

Talking to a psychic advisor is pretty far out of step with how I usually make decisions, but in the interest of testing my comfort zone, I decided to go for it. I had an awesome 30-minute conversation with Psychic Tara that started with me giving my given name, birth date and the most pressing question on my mind. She connected with my guides and gave me some hints at things they see on the horizon as well as some reassurance that my path is the right one. Among other things, I’ve been wrestling with the idea of slowing down versus trying to grow. Tara said I will know when it’s time to slow down and there is still some soaring to do and some important people to connect with.

I’m not sure what I believe when it comes to cards and oracles and guides, but I can tell you I came away from the reading with Tara feeling reassured and energized. It was a very positive and affirming experience. 

If you’d like to get your own reading (I highly recommend!) you can go to the California Psychics website or download their app to book your reading today and use promo code ripped5 to get $5 added to your account when you purchase your first reading.

You can do your reading in the privacy of your own home via a phone call, like I did (I like the voice connection) or via a chat box. They’re open 24/7 and have a wide variety of prices to fit your budget. 

Give it a try! It was a really great experience for me, and it offered clarity with a situation I’ve been struggling with.

Two things we don't get much use for in Texas: hea Two things we don't get much use for in Texas: heated seats and snow pants!

Last week, I was glad we had both on hand. More coming about the Nissan Rogue soon. And one more picture of the crazy snow from last week before we're all convinced it was a dream. Single digit temperatures in Texas was pretty crazy. It's in the 70's this week.

I have a long list of things that happened in 2020 I have a long list of things that happened in 2020 that I didn’t expect. One was Remus. He’s been a great and entertaining addition to our family but he is hands down the STINKIEST animal we’ve ever owned.

#ad Did you know February is American Heart Month? #ad Did you know February is American Heart Month? 

In addition to Valentine's Day Hearts and other symbols of love, why not take some time this month to learn about the heart that keeps you going every day? I had a checkup and a long talk with my doctor about heart health in December. Don't worry, I'm fine, but it gave me a great sense of relief to know about some of the things I need to watch out for and some options for my future.

Lifestyle changes to incorporate exercise and healthy eating are key to a heart-healthy lifestyle. And, a low dose aspirin regimen with St. Joseph's Low Dose Aspirin taken regularly may help reduce risk of recurrent (second) heart attack or ischemic (clot-related) stroke for some individuals.

 Always talk to your doctor before starting an aspirin regimen.

No matter what your health picture looks like, take a little time to learn about heart health this month! Use as your doctor directs. #putalittleloveinyourheart
