Lots of helpful tips...

I've had many helpful tips passed on to me recently, so I thought I'd share them here.

1. Back in February, a fellow "new mom" shared this tip with me. When the baby does a messy and gets it on her clothes, there's a way to keep from having yucky yellow stains for the life of that piece of clothing. Take the item off and put Shout on it.

2. We tried cloth diapers for a while, and people kept saying I know they'll look yucky, but don't bleach them cause they'll wear out sooner. So, I got to thinking... if Shout works for ookies on clothes, why not diapers. I tried putting some on after I cleaned the diaper and before I put it in the diaper pail, and guess what!!! It worked!!! No stain and it won't wear out as fast!!!

3. When planning a menu one week, I had hamburgers and hot dogs planned for two different meals. Since there are only two of us eating, instead of buying hamburger buns AND hotdog buns, I decided to just buy hot dog buns. Then when we had the hamburgers, I simply made long and thin hamburgers. It worked perfect!
Hope these tips help... Be sure and check out my two giveaways here and here.
