Emergency Ice Pack

Need an ice pack fast? Keep a bag of frozen peas on hand. They stay cold for a long time and they mold to shape around a limb or head. Then cook them up for dinner!

Burns

Whenever you get a mild burn, just apply some regular mustard. The vinegar in the mustard takes the pain away, and the thickness of the mustard keeps it on the burn without running off. Just re-apply when it dries.

Ice pack

Thoroughly wet a sponge, add a teaspoon to a tablespoon of rubbing alcohol, then put it in a zip lock bag and freeze. This way the sponge can mold around the hurt arm, head or leg.

Bug Spray

You can use kitchen cleaners instead of bug spray. It still kills bugs, but it avoids any accidents or harmful reactions to actual bug spray.

Stay Cool

Whenever you plan an outdoor activity with friends and family, pack several wet washclothes in an insulated tote along with a frozen ice pack. Clean and cool is at your fingertips in case kids get injured or overheated.

Weaning from Binkie

To wean your infant/toddler from their binkie, cut the tip off then continue cutting it down shorter until there is no more binkie left!

Great use for lip balm

Rubbing PLAIN (Not mentholated or flavored) lip balm on those finger-tip cracks that often happen in winter months, instantly stops the pain and speeds healing.
