Jubilee Wax


Do you remember Jubilee Wax? That stuff was fantastic! I even liked the smell! Unfortunately, it is discontinued. I called S.E. Johnson and they confirmed that it is no longer being made or sold. Why!? I've tried every other thing on the market, but nothing gets crayon marks off of walls and doors better than Jubilee Wax. I know because I have a little left in an ancient bottle and my son and I just went through the house doing crayon damage control after my daughter wreaked havok with Crayola Green, Purple, Red and Seafoam.

For those who are lamenting with me, there is hope-or at least I hope there's hope. Click on this link:

and you'll find a similar product. I plan on buying it and giving it a try. I'll post a review when I get it. If you have used this product, please let me know what you thought of it.

I always used it to clean my sneakers when I was younger. Mom and dad always had some under the sink.

it looks familiar, but i've never used it. i find that magic erasers work wonderfully at getting crayon off our of kitchen table. fortunately, we haven't had any crayon + wall incidents, yet. i read somewhere that someone used already used dryer sheets to remove crayone marks...maybe give it a try!

I've been trying to think of the name of it for months. I even called my Mom to ask her if she remembered the name of the was. But she couldn't either. I remembered it was made by Johnson so I looked on the Johnson web site and nothing. Then today the name just popped in my head. And I found your website. Thanks for the info. I'll try this other product. But Jubilee was the best. Wonder why they quit making it. Probably eaiser to just pray polish than to hand wax. We are getting to lazy.

I remember as a kid taking it to grammar school on the last day as we had to bring the wax and rags to clean our desks and help clean the classroom....(Catholic School...many years ago.

She's Here!

Our daughter was born at 7:17 pm, May 27th after only 2 1/2 hours of labor and 10 minutes of pushing! She weighed in at 6lbs 5 ounces and measured at 19 inches long....another little peanut! It was all-natural, baby! No induction, no pitocin, no pain relievers, no episiotomy! All prayers have been answered by the Lord except for her nursing ability. She's not a very good nurser, though she was a champ just after she was born. She's getting better, though and I continue in prayer that she improves. I pray that when my milk comes in, she'll be a great nurser. I'm also in prayer about her jaundice. Right now, it's not bad at all, but I learned with Bubby how quickly that can change, especially with her not being a good nurser. The picture above was taken yesterday. That's me and my son and daughter. Poor hubby's not in the picture because he wasn't at the hospital at that time. He was there earlier, but I sent him home to get some rest and some ...

Blessing, Wisdom, Modesty, Feminine Influences

My wonderful husband bought me a new vacuum! My old one threw sparks out at me, so I refused to run it for fear of my life. So, hubby bought me a new vacuum and it's wonderful! It even has a self-cleaning duster attachment! Hubby appreciates the hepa filter. I enjoy having a vacuum that actually does it's job. Oh, and my other favorite attachment is the special adjustable upholstery and stairs doo-hickey with it's own rotating brush. It's great for dog hair. I recently had my 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed. Hubby teased me that I was going to lose my wisdom, but I actually gained some! While I was in dreadful pain and recovering, I had to eat VERY carefully. During this time I learned that: 1. I eat when I'm not hungry...not a good habit to get into. 2. I eat too fast and don't savor my food. Therefore, I tend to eat a bit more so as to enjoy the flavor. 3. I put food in my mouth when I'm still chewing the first portion I put in. Blech...what a...

Baby Boy is one week old today! He's doing so well and we are all smitten with him. I am amazed at his growth and progress in just 1 week! Baby Boy is a quiet lad who only cries when it is necessary (at least so far). During his wakeful times, he enjoys staring at patterns or his mommy. He's great at turning his head to look around and listens intently when I sing. He's not the strongest feeder, yet and prefers multiple quick snacks rather than spaced out dinners. His umbilical cord stump is almost ready to fall off. He likes to be swaddled and loves being held. So much so that when I do hold him, he falls asleep almost instantly, but if I put him down, he wakes up. Not all the time, though. :)
