October Challenge! And Proven Household Hints!

Posted by Mary Jones On October - 12 - 2009

maryjonesA new month…of course, a new Challenge!

This month- Reach out to estranged family and friends! Renew those relationships that have fallen by the wayside. Chances are, the reasons don’t matter much anymore. Even if they seemed to be good at the time….do they still? Is your pride, ego or stubbornness preventing you from reaching out? Don’t let it. Get back in touch with those folks who were once close to you…maybe before the holidays? Consider it, at least…do it for you!

And….useful household hints! Do you have any to share? Some tried-and-true tips? For example:

  1. To remove wax from a candle holder, put it in the freezer for 15 min or so, and the wax will pop out!

  2. To remove static from skirts or pants when wearing pantyhose- put a safety pin on the seam, and…no more static!

  3. Chalkboard erasers work wonders on foggy windshields…carry one if your car.

  4. To open a sealed envelope…place it in the freezer for 1 hour and it will unseal easily.

  5. Before pouring sticky substances (peanut butter, molasses,) in a measuring cup, fill it with hot water, pour out water but don’t dry cup. Pour in sticky substance and it will slide right out! Spraying the cup with Pam first also works!

What tips do you have?
