Everyday Sense - Sense for the Soul

Memories

Whenever I read a nice poem or an article that makes me feel thankful for life, or a piece that I think my kids and grandkids would like to read or would put a smile on their faces, I save it or copy it and put it in my "Memories" file. It's in the file cabinet, labeled "Hey, kids, read this someday." Hopefully, it will help them when they go through "a season of sadness" in their lives someday.

Save Those Blanket Bags

When I buy comforters or large blankets that come in clear large plastic bags, I save the bags to store my artificial Christmas wreaths that I want to use again next year. These bags are also good for bulky sweater storage in summer.

Easy Dusting

Old socks are perfect for dusting. They fit your hands and go everywhere! Spray on a little Old English Polish and off you go! Wash the socks with your other old cleaning rags, and you're ready to go again.

Protect your Counters and Table

Looking for an inexpensive hot pad to protect your counter or dining room table? Look no further than your local hardware store for a beautiful piece of slate. They can cost as little as $3.00 a piece, and you can pick a color that goes with your decor.
