Very Sobering Video on Texting While Driving ~ Texting While Driving (Very Graphic) ~ EVERY driver should see this, especially teenagers. It is very graphic and is recommended for 18 and older but if they wait till 18 to see it, they may not reach 18. As a firefighter, I see this stuff all too often. PARENTS: Watch this by yourself first, then WITH your kids. Explain to them that if they HAVE TO phone or text, pull over and stop in a SAFE location first, THEN use the phone.

Use No More Postage Than Necessary ~ A first class one-ounce letter requires one first class stamp (or a forever stamp). I won't give the specific amount, since it changes so often! However, if the envelope is between one and two ounces, do not add another first class stamp! Each additional ounce above one ounce requires only the amount of postage for a postcard. A few pennies saved, but this can add up fast over the years!
Very Effective Stain Remover at a Low Price ~ Earlier I had mentioned using a Fels-Naptha bar of soap as a stain remover. It's just a little more than a dollar and goes a long way! You can either peel the paper half way down, or unwrap it completely and wrap a washcloth around the lower half, then fasten it with a rubberband or two for a better grip in holding the bar. Wet the stain, rub the bar over the stain and brush lightly with an old toothbrush. Repeat if necessary. I've quickly removed black grease stains and other unknown stains with this wonder bar! One subscriber said she and her daughter-in-law even took a Fels-Naptha bar along on vacation! I do too! Another subscriber told how her grandma had been using the Fels-Naptha bar as a stain remover all her life. It's quite a lifesaver! Remember, you may need to ask your grocer to special order it, but it's worth it.
Forgotten Wet Laundry in the Washer ~ Have you ever forgotten to transfer wet laundry to the dryer as I have? Run it through a wash cycle again, using a cup of white vinegar along with detergent to get rid of that terrible odor.
Forgotten Wrinkled Laundry in the Dryer ~ Simply run some water over each piece and toss in the dryer again. Set a timer if the dryer buzzer no longer works.
Trip Envelope ~ Use an envelope to organize all the phone numbers and addresses you will need on your trip. Keep receipts and other papers from your trip in the same envelope.
Drain Cleaner ~ Sometimes it takes several applications to clear a drain, which can get quite expensive. The Dollar Tree carries drain cleaners which work. Recently I used three applications to clean a shower drain. Total cost - $1!
Banana Pancakes ~ At my request this past Sunday morning my husband made us banana pancakes, by adding diced bananas to the batter. He also added a little flax seed meal and oatmeal to the mix, with some extra liquid. Delicious! I'm sure peach pancakes would be wonderful as well! This morning I made some banana pancakes to freeze.
Make Pancakes and French Toast Ahead of Time ~ For quick toasted breakfasts, make a large batch of pancakes. Or make French toast, using a whole loaf of bread at once, dipping slices into a mixture of about 1 1/2 cups of milk, about 7 eggs, and a little salt. No sweetener is necessary, when adding jam or syrup. After the French toast is completely cool, put it back into the bread bag, and freeze it for quick and easy breakfasts. Simply toast the pancakes and French toast. One person may prefer pancakes and another might want French toast. A toaster has at least two slots so use them!

Quick and Healthy Natural Ice Cream ~ A favorite ice cream of mine is to blend frozen bananas with fresh or frozen strawberries, plain yogurt and a little stevia for sweetener. Orange juice may also be added in place of yogurt. The frozen bananas cause it to have the consistency of ice cream. Extra yogurt and/or orange juice would make a delicious natural fruit drink - another great idea for a quick breakfast, snack or dessert!
Fancy Grilled Cheese Sandwiches ~ Grill them in a waffle iron for a waffled effect or in a George Foreman grill!
Slow Cooker Pot Roast ~ Start by putting carrots, cut up potatoes and a chopped or sliced onion in the bottom of a slow cooker. Hard vegetables take too long to cook through if not on the very bottom. Lay a beef roast on top of the vegetables. Combine a can of cream of mushroom soup with dried onion soup mix and spread over the top of the roast. Cook on LOW for about 10 - 12 hours. Note: Chicken breasts may be used in place of beef. A turkey breast or whole chicken (without the vegetables, because of space) is very tasty and tender when done in the slow cooker with this flavorful mixture.
