Did You Know

Don't you HATE when you put something in a plastic container and you can't get all of the food out of it?  I especially hate how when you put pasta in tupperware the food smell lingers for ever after wards.  Well I just read an interesting tip.  I have not tried it but I am sure it works wonders.  Take your plastic container and open it up.  Then take a newspaper and rip out one of the pages.  Ball up the news paper and put it inside of the plastic container.  Seal that puppy closed and leave over night.  The next day the news paper will have absorbed that lingering food smell!  WOO HOO  I'm going to have to give this a try.  Let me know how it goes if you try it.  :)  

Happy Sunday everyone! 

Did You Know

I'm starting something new on my blog called "Did You Know"  These are all going to be really quick simple post that are about something simple.  Usually a simple solution to a problem that everyone deals with at times.  My first one for today is this, BEE STINGS.

I always did the baking soda and water.  You make a paste and put it on the sting.  Well, I just learned something new.  You take an alka-seltzer tablet and moisten it slightly and then stick it straight on the sting.  It contains baking soda which helps reduce inflammation and it contains asprin which relieves the pain.  The fizzing allows for both of those two factors to travel beneath the skin providing immediate relief!  Sweet right?!  I need to get some alka-seltzer tablets for our car first aid kit.  ( Note to self:  get a car first aid kit!  haha )
