Newspaper weeds away

Start putting in your plants wet newspapers, put layers around the plants overlapping as you go cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers. - I have not tried this, but it sounds way cool! I hate weeds and I still have not found a weed killer that works.

Duct tape will fix anything!

OK, so this might be yucky, but I know it works from experience:
If you ever get a wart put duct tape on it till its gone. When I danced I would get plantar warts on the bottom of my feet (lots of dancers do) and so if I put the tape on it for a few weeks it went away........crazy, huh?

No More Orange-Stained Containers

So, when you put the leftover spaghetti in a container, spray it first with any kind of non-stick spray and it will keep your containers clean! It really is worth it!

A tip from Uncle Doug

My uncle Doug would say this: "There is never a second chance for a first impression"- I really like this, it applies to all areas of life.

oh crap

Write a list of things that you would grab if you had to leave your home and were only given a few minutes, and then tape it inside a cupboard or back of a door. I call it the "oh crap" list, and here are some thing that would be on mine:
scrapbooks/photo albums
72 hour kits
Sleepingbag
my dogs food
canned goods with opener
eye glasses( i always have contacts in, but at some point they come out and I am blind without glasses)
You get the idea, this is so important to do because in a moment of crisis you wont be able to think clear, it would be so nice to just grab a list and hurry on your way.

Like it, Learn it, cause you may have to use it

I am still tryin' the rotate your food storage stuff, however Im doin it.
If you are like me you have those big cans of dry food products, well open them up and learn to use 'em, experiment, cause what if the day comes that you need them, and you've never used 'em. Nicole (my fellow chick in the kitchen) and I had my dried soup mix that my hubby brought to life for lunch today. It was good, he put tomato soup in with it and water, so go ahead......try yours out!
