Renew Bleach Spotted clothes

I had several dark knit tops that had little bleach spots from where I had been cleaning..I found just the right shade of marker and used the tip to recolor many black and dark colored clothing... Like New!Stationery store may have the exact color you need and you can buy them individually..Can be used on throw rugs etc...!

Grocery bag holder

I keep two small rectangle trahs cans on the opposite side of my garage steps...I put plastic bags in one and brown paper bags in the other...They can be used for garden projects, recycling, yard waste or just for stuffing fall boots...Anytime I reach for one they are there... I place the tall recyle yard waste bags down the side of the brown paper trash can and they are ready in a snap!

5-8 VEGGIES A DAY

Struggling to find a way to increase the vegetable requirements for my family... I decided to pack almost all of them into a daily salad... In my crisper I keep Italian salad greens,red onion,green onion,grape tomatoes,red peppers,grapes and blue cheese crumbles...additonal veggies too...Everday about 30 minutes before dinner, I mix these in a large glass bowl. Ifinish off with prediced dried cranberries and walnuts.... I serve this plateful of lush salad just prior to dinner...with a baked sweet potato and steamed squash and zucchini... A small ammount of grilled chicken that has been marienated in Italian salad dressing,garlic and ginger..No one complains about bland veggies any longer...Add sweet & sour dressing.... Yum!!!

Partial Toilet Paper Roll

When going to a public beach or National Park always bring along a flattened partial toilet paper roll for your purse or pocket...these places often have none...I found out after a recent trip!

Requesting an airline blanket

Be sure to request an airline blanket as soon as you board the plane....many airline seats are just awful...and your tush is numb after 5 hours of flight.... Leave the blanket in its bag folded and use as a seat cushion....A life saver!

Add a couple folded plastic bags to your suit case when traveling..these can be used for dirty laundry until your return or until you can get to a laundry!
