Easy Organizing

Save space in the freezer & cupboards.

I remove food items that come in cardboard boxes, such as freezer waffles, toaster pastries, packages of soup; and put them in freezer bags. If there are instructions, I cut them out and slip them into the bag. It saves a lot of space and keeps things fresher.

Traveling Toothbrush

When traveling, I hate having to pack a wet toothbrush, since you leave right after brushing your teeth. Use your hairdryer to quickly blowdry your toothbrush. It takes a few seconds, and you have a dry toothbrush to pack!

Hiccups

When my husband, kids or I have hiccups, I get out the dill pickles. My mother taught me to do this when I was a child. You get a teaspoon, dip it in the pickle juice and take two sips. Those hiccups will go away just like that!

Save Your Gloves

After finishing the Scott paper towels or toilet paper, cut the bag it was wrapped in into pieces a little larger than your hand. Use one to pick up your kitchen trash can and the other to open up your large recepticle outside. When you've returned to the kitchen, drop the piece into the trash.

Clean White Sinks

To keep white sinks white, fill the sink with hot water, add dishwasher detergent, and let it soak overnite. White, shiny sinks with no scrubbing!

Hibernation

Everyone complains about boredom during the winter months after all the holiday excitement, but as just about every other animal on the planet has their hibernation season to recharge, I firmly believe that humans were meant to do somewhat the same. Enjoy a book, work on a craft, spend time watching a movie without interruption. Once the weather gets nice, you will find it hard to justify being indoors at all.

Keep the Cheese

I like to buy my cheeses in blocks and grate it myself. Sometimes the containers I used were wet on the inside of the lid and therefore getting my cheese wet & resulting in molding before it's time. I fold a Scott Towel and lay it in the container and it keeps it from from the moisture so my cheese last so much longer! I love your towels.
