House Training a Puppy?
You probably need to backtrack. Put them in a smaller area of the house so you can contain them and monitor them more. Take them out and tell them lets go potty after naps, playing, and meals and praise them a lot with lots of love. If they dont pee, bring...
Crafts Using Round Salt Boxes?
Thanks to all who replied, you got my crafting juices going. Great ideas! Why didnt I think of that?
Wrapping Awkward Items?
I use food boxes, mac & cheese, cereal, stuffing boxes, even jello boxes. You can turn them inside out and re-glue them, then wrap as usual or you can just wrap it w/o turning them inside out. Also use baby formula cans, oatmeal cans, Nestles Quick or strawberry...
Recycled Christmas Card Gift Tags
I also make tags from last years xmas cards. I use different templates - my favorite is in the shape of a xmas ornament.

Wedding Butterfly Release
Their little angel was speaking to them. What a beautiful sign from their baby. I cried.
Set a Cleaning Timer
I also use a time system. My sister, who is more organized than me, assigns minutes to a particular task. That way you dont get overwhelmed about having to vacuum, for instance, when you know it only takes 5 min. tops for each room. I use a pocket of time system...
Use a Memo Board for Unusual Grocery Items
I use a similar idea. I buy mini size legal pads and glue 2 pieces of magnets from a magnet roll on the back and stick it on the fridge. As I run out of items, I write it on the pad. When Im ready to go shopping, I just tear the page and voila! - instant grocery...
