Tips and Tidbits

Make Ahead Recipes are definitely a great time saving tip for Christmas, just as they were for Thanksgiving!  I was able to spend more time with our family last week when they were all here because of this time-saving tip!   
Push Pins Help in Painting ~ While painting a stool for the smaller grandchildren to stand on while washing their hands, my husband stuck a push pin in the bottom of each of the four feet of the stool.  That enabled him to neatly paint all the way down to the bottom of each foot without making a mess.

Winterize Your Home by making sure you have enough insulation.  Having insulation blown into your attic will pay off in not only your heating bills but also during the summer when your air conditioner is running.  Even if you don't have air conditioning, your home will stay cooler.  Check all your windows, and if you have storm windows, make sure they are secure.  Do an internet search for many more ideas on winterizing your home that could save you much more.  This is only a start!

Natural Immune Supporters - Oil of oregano capsules, echinacea, goldenseal root in capsule form and goldenseal tea.  The tea flavor is not bad after adding stevia, a natural sweetener, and it beats getting on an antibiotic from the drug store.
