Make a Master List for Camping
Great idea! I do the same for vacations too. I have 2 different packing lists - camping and vacations. I built them in Excel print them when were going away and check things off as I go.
Holiday Veggie or Fruit Tree
Very cute! Another idea is in a large rectangle pan, pour a bottle of ranch dressing and cover the bottom, then make a Christmas tree out of broccoli, surround it by cauliflower to make snow, and decorate the tree with carrot slices, pepper slices or strips...
Food Grease on Work Shirts?
Try using Lestoil next time you wash them. Pretreat them with Lestoil directly on the stains and let it stand for an hour or so and then wash them with Lestoil in the washer. They should come out looking great!
Indestructible Dog Bed?
For those that think my dog is spending too much time in her crate, let me just explain that she is only in there for about 3 1/2 hours a day. Its not like were gone for 9-10 hours. She has toys in her crate (nyla-bones and strong rubber balls) but she tears...
Dog Tearing Up Papers?
Thanks for all the suggestions. I put her back in her crate today each time I left the house and I think were all happier now. Shes not getting in trouble and getting yelled at when we get home and were happier to see her and more willing to play with her because...
Sudsy Roxy (Lab and Border Collie Mix)
OMG!! I have Roxys twin! We never knew for sure what she was a mix of, but we got her from a rescue last winter and was told she was a lab/shephard mix. Her brother had shephard markings but the long ears of a lab. Our neighbors told us that they thought she...
Morning Sickness Remedies?
Fruit worked for me. The more I ate watermelon, bananas and grapes, the better I felt. I couldnt stand ginger - anything. I didnt like the smell, taste or anything. It just made it worse for me!
Indoor Grill Reviews?
My husband got me the George Foreman grill a couple of Christmass ago and we use it at least once a week. It makes the BEST hamburgers and grilled chicken. Its quick too!
Dressing Kids in Matching Outfits
I have a kind of similar issue with my husband, but its about his clothes for him to wear to work! You see, my husband is color blind. He can not tell the difference between blues, greens and grays or blacks. To him, they all look the same, though some may...
Dishwasher Smell?
I used to have the same problem and I think its from not running the disposer enough. I started running the disposer every time I have the water on, even if I run the disposer for a few seconds each time, it seems to help. I think if there is the slightest...
Charities To Help Someone Whose House Burned Down?
Check to see if you have a freecycle group in your area at www.freecycle.org and then post a request telling people about the fire and the kinds of things he needs (include sizes for clothes). When people have done this in our area they have gotten more than...
Grease Stain on Cotton Shorts?
Lestoil takes out any grease stain - even old ones that have gone through the dryer a few times. Just pour a little in the cap, pour it on the stain and let it soak for a little while. Wash as normal and it will be gone!
Printing Pictures For Graduation Announcements?
Many of the stores now have email address or you can send them online. Check out www.walmart.com. Ive sent them pictures via the web and they were waiting for me at the store to pick them up. You can pay online or pay when you get there. VERY convenient!
Removing Duct Tape From Carpet?
Try Lestoil. It removes glue residue and stains from everything else - why not carpet too!? :-)
Removing Masking Tape From Fiberglass Boat?
Remove the glue residue with Lestoil. My husband needed to remove glue reside from a reflector on his Harley and it took it all off with little or no elbow grease and didnt harm the finish at all.
Housecleaning Products I Swear By
I use Lestoil to clean stains out of clothes -even hard to remove grease stains, to clean tar and bugs off the car and my husband even used it to remove glue residue off his Harley when he had to move his reflectors to put on his sissy bar. It came right off...
Relieve Itch from Poison Ivy and Poison Oak
My husband uses liquid dishwasher detergent which is probably very close to what youve indicated. Though I havent had the need to try it, he says it stings for a moment or two when you first apply it, but it dries it out in a few days rather than suffering...
Paint Spilled On New Car Carpet and Seats?
I used de-natured alchohol on my carpet after my then 2 year old son decided to paint my almost white carpet with the hunter green paint my husband was using to paint the walls and it came clean! I learned this trick from a pofessional painter. You can find...
