Kid Treat

no posts for a couple of days as our youngest son is getting married!! but I do love this idea for a birthday party or other kid special occasion.  These drink (7-up) stirrers are lollypops!

No headboard on your bed?

This idea from Marthat Stewart could be a temporary fix or a cheap permanent alternative. It's WALLPAPER!!

Tweezer Trap

One simple little magnet keeps those tweezers in plain view to grab in a second

Bag box

I've kept grocery bags in tissue boxes for years. I use a "Kleenex Boutique" box however as they take up less space. They are stowed under every bathroom sink to hold bags for the trach can.

I will never throw away another free shower cap!

This is just too brilliant! And I thought shower caps were just for covering up the end of cut watermelon  or covering rolls that are raising in round pans. Sheesh!

Get a grip!

Kids spill drinks....elastic bands help !

Tangle Tamer

I've done this for years. If you want to go the second mile you could write the length of the cord on the tube...OR...mark the one that is the perfect length for something like those Christmas lights that go on the mantle. I hate gobs of too long cord sticking out under the curtains that hang over the plug.!
