Get Up and Go Oatmeal BreakfastI am not my sharpest in the morning and I can use all the help I can get to start off with a healthy breakfast. I put together oatmeal and delicious ingredients into a mason jar in the refrigerator at night. In the morning, I have it cold or drop it in the microwave for 1 minute.

 

Home Made Maple SyrupMother taught me years ago a recipe that I have forever in my head. When you run out of syrup you can make it very easy. Just make sure you keep maple flavor in your cupboard.

Bailey Michelle Meadows (Toy Size...Bailey came into our lives in October of 2014. The lady that had her was unable to care for her and left her alone for 5 days at a time. Bailey was given to us because the lady knew we would love and care for her like one of our children.

Bailey (Golden Retriever)I was on the way to pick her up and I got a phone call from my doctor. He said that I may have breast cancer. When I picked her up, I knew she was my angel dog.

 

Treating Stains on Delicate LinensThis is a very old way to remove stains or whiten natural fabrics. Gently launder then lay item on a lush area of grass in direct sunlight. Somehow the combination of sun and chlorophyll released by grass causes the whitening.

 

Bar Keepers Friend for Removing Hard Water...Bar Keepers Friend and a soft scrub sponge works best for me. It removes all shower spots and window spots from sprinklers. Window on right had the whole lower half with spots.

 

Feeding an Old Dog?I have a 21 year old Dachshund that I've had since she was 6 weeks old. She has lost most of her teeth, but still gets around really good.

I have been here since August 2014 and haven't had any problems till one day I had an electric heater plugged up in the laundry room and all of a sudden the fans/lights went off.

Sewing Machine Not Stitching?I've had the machine, a Singer Signature 9340, for 2 weeks.

Duck Laid Egg in Garden?A mallard laid two eggs in our flowerbed. The next day she sat under our bird feeder with the male, but did not lay an egg and today we haven't seen her at all.

When Should a Girl Start Shaving?I am going to be 15 this May. My legs are so hairy that I feel so embarassed when I wear shorts and all. I really want to shave. But the problem that arises is that my mother doesn't shave. What should I do? I also don't want that my mom should know about it. I am too shy to ask for a razor and all that stuff from a shopkeeper.
