Let all that you do be done in love.

So you decided today is the day for running errands, and you need to take the kids with you, here are some tips to help you save money, save time, and save your sanity.
1.) Make a plan. Nothing is worse than running your errands only to realize that you have to cross town to finish your tasks.
2.) Pack snacks for the kiddos.
Cleaning the Grill
Wrap rags around your grill rack real well (Grandma used old towels with holes in them), now place the towel covered rack into a Black Lawn and Garden plastic trash bag, make sure you have the right size bag to fit your rack into. This is the time to check!
Cleaning the Oven
Preheat oven at 200-degrees for 10-15 minutes.
Fill a 8x8 GLASS baking dish with Ammonia about an inch. Place the glass pan on the top shelf of the oven.
Now take a 9x13 GLASS baking dish and put it on the lower rack of your oven. Boil some water and put about an inch of boiling water into the 9x13 pan.
So your sink is not draining the way you would like it to? Try this.
1/2 C White Vinegar
1/4 C Baking soda
Cover the drain and let the chemistry do its work. Follow by Boiling water.
Now, if this does not work, you may need to snake your drain, use a draino type product, or ask you husband to undo the plumbing and see what is stuck.
1 Gallon hot water
1/4 C cloudy ammonia
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
If this still won't clean your problem, double the ammonia and baking soda but NOT THE WATER
2 Tablespoons Borax
1 teaspoon dish soap
4 C water
Mix and put into a spray bottle, labled Everyday Cleaner.
I use this for my counter tops, bathrooms etc.

My sweet Teenage son walks into the house after filing the gas into the lawnmower, washes his hands, grabs a bite to eat, and spits out his food.
Do you have oil on the floor of your garage? How about the drive way? When I was a teenager my dad was obcessed with keeping his driveway clean and garage floor, so obcessed in fact NO ONE was allowed to park on the driveway. Why you ask? Because if it was one of our friends and if their car left oil we were the ones out there cleaning it up. THE HARD WAY with a toothbrush and some store bought product. Over the years I have learned some tricks and of course TIPS from my Grandmama.
Ok let's face it nothing smells as bad as baby spit up. Right? Well, did you know if you sprinkle baking soda on the area it will take out the smell? Yes it is true, I then throw my shirt in the laundry basket and when it is laundry day, wash as usual. No stain, No smell just a nice shirt!
