Household Tips

Sometimes in life we need extra little tips to help us fix that stain or spot, or make our lives easier.  Here are a few tips for you!

 

 

Dirty Windshield: Clean bugs and dirt off your windshield with a mix of vinegar and hot water.

 

Strong Smells: Clear the air by putting oil of wintergreen on cotton balls. Set them where the air will touch them, but out of sight.

 

Fun Lunch:  Lunchtime will be more pleasant for young children if you read to them while they eat.
