Hair Ideas for Girls That Play Sports?
15 yr old girls get to wear their hair pretty much however they like. (imho) My daughter wore her hair short when she played sports in school. But there were others who had longer hair. Those with longer hair can pull it back into a ponytail so its out of their...

Have you tried Dollar Tree? Everything is $1. You might not find a lot of them you want to buy, but Im betting you might find one or two there. Its worth your time to look.
Easy To Reach Food Storage
I use tongs that were meant to be used on an outdoor gas grill as grabbers for items on the high shelves. They only cost me $1 years ago at Dollar Tree, and we dont cook out any more. I find them to be quite useful. My sister is very short and has rheumatoid...

I put mine in the kitchen sink or bathtub and wash with some type general cleaner and sponge or cloth.
Keeping Track Of Debit Purchases
My son is a manager for a credit union. He tells me that people who use debit cards are the ones who have the most overdrafts. Also, he mentioned that they will withdraw $10 at one ATM and then repeat that 3 times during one day instead of taking out $30 all...
Post-Its for Labeling
I sometimes even cut post-its in half because I dont need to use the whole sheet. It doubles the amount of post its for the same amount of money.
Saving First
I disagree with the response posted above. Everyone can and should save some money. Everyone can afford to put something aside for a rainy day...even if its only pocket change or pennies. My income is $13,000 per year. I save $350 per month. Then, if I need...
Organize With Clear Plastic Containers
The best part is that these shoe boxes are sold at Dollar Tree for only $1 apiece! I cant think of a less expensive organizing tool. Usually they are in stock during the autumn when college students are getting ready to leave home. I like them for organizing...
Breaking Down Tasks Into Smaller Pieces
I love your idea as I get overwhelmed by some tasks that seem too big to handle. I empty my dishwasher while I am waiting for my coffee to heat in the microwave. If I dont get it done, I just leave the rest until I have more tea or coffee. I recently read a...
Veggie Peels and Coffee Grounds for Vibrant Flowers
YES, William, coffee grounds and tea are wonderful fertilizers. Why waste money on buying fertilizer when you can use something you normally throw away? In fact, some people ask for the used grounds at local restaurants or coffee shops and take them home to...

Schedule the First Appointment of the Day
Now, I dont like the first appointment of the day. Im retired and dont function well that early in the morning. I prefer an appointment either right before or after noon. that way all the snow is off the roads and I dont have to contend with other cars with...
Grocery Shopping List Tips
I like the site www.weusecoupons.com. It has a forum in which someone matches the coupons with sales items for each store. I go to that site and copy down the offers for items I need. Ive found that if I fold my 8 1/2x11 paper, I can write the items Im going...
Cover the Gray with Tea!
One of the best things I ever did for myself was to let my hair go grey. After reading some of your comments, I knew I had to write myself. My scalp tends to be oily. So I need to wash my hair every day especially in the warm weather. The strands of my hair...
Reusing Glass Jars For Canning And Food Storage
I dont can, but was pleased to read your post, Susan. Today I am cleaning my cupboards and found macaroni spilling out of the opened box. Im going to keep my eyes open for bottles I an repurpose. I especially liked your comment about home-made salad dressing...

We found the hole in the eaves where the squirrels were coming into the house. Imho, this is the most important thing to do because if you dont take care of the entry, youll always have a problem. I live in a rural area. In the fall, field mice enter houses...
