Tip #1: If your hardwood boards are sounding a little squeaky, simply sprinkle some of the baby powder on the squeaky area and sweep it into the cracks. Clean the floor and voila! It acts as a lubricant to stop the aggravating squeaks.
Tip#2: Children. Eye Drops. The two words don't really mix together do they? Tell them to close their eyes and place a drop in the corner of the eye closest to the nose. It will slip right in when they open them and you don't have todeal with the fussy eyelids.
Tip #3: I don't know about you, but I've bee in the situation where company was on the way and I had forgotten to put drinks in the fridge. No problem. Take a large pot, put the drinks on the bottom, ice on the top, sprinkle the top with ice and fill the pot with water. 2-3 minute fix and everyone is happy!
Tip #4: Use wet newspaper as a weed block. Place a layer on the ground and build your raised bed on top of it or layer the stuff around your plants and cover with mulch. Weeds can grow through some of the store bought weed presenters but not wet newspaper. I used this trick on our raised beds 4 months ago and have yet to see a single weed.
Tip #5: Now my family loves seafood. However I am not the biggest fan of the fishy smell that lingers in the air when we make dinner. If you boil a little bit of vinegar in a pot, it will suck that fishy smell right out of the air!
More tips coming soon!!!
