Little Pieces of me...

Preston, Hannah & Ethan
3 of 9 that call me Auntie
So in my previous blog, you found out for me a calm, tranquil and serene environment comes from being well organized. I admit it’s maybe a bigger challenge for those with children at home. And for me, a clean, organized home is more easily achieved when my nieces and nephews aren’t visiting! I love being an auntie (My FAVORITE title in life) and have so much fun when they are here; (but they do go home) and then you will find me cleaning and re-organizing!!

Maybe you will enjoy a few of these tips I’ve discovered along the way. These aren’t urban legends, but tried and true tips that may help you create that environment you are desiring…

DID YOU KNOW?

• Crayon marks come off walls with a damp rag dipped in baking soda?
• A little rubbing alcohol on a paper towel will remove permanent marker from appliances and counter tops (even the blue ink from a store receipt!)

• You can drop two Alka Seltzer tablets in your toilet bowl, wait twenty minutes, and brush and flush. (Stay tuned for more Alka Seltzer remedies in a future blog.)
• Spilled candle wax can be removed from a carpet by placing a brown paper sack over the spill and placing a warm iron on top. Wax will be absorbed into the brown paper.
• You can use empty toilet paper or paper towel rolls to store appliance cords. It keeps them neat and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to.
