Everyone can always use an extra household tip!I haven't just one to share, so let's have some fun!I have found these very helpful and I hope you will to.

TRAVELING TIPS~

When traveling with small ones on a long trip, and to keep them from becoming bored
try keeping a individual game packet just for them with books,and small figurines.
Most people have the entertainment center and all the newest technology,such as the movie dvd players but if you don't have these features,try these little individual packets, they should do the trick and will keep them entertained.

Home Deorderizer~

When you feel like the house just needs a little fresh-me up before company comes, or just any time to keep it smelling good, and you forgot the deodorizer just try this:
Take small amount of fabric softener which comes in all fragrances,add with somewater in a spray bottle and mist away. Even down to your furniture, beds,and bath.

Camera cases~
MY digital camera did not come with a case.
In order for it to be safe when not using it,I took an padded eyeglass case and it fits nicely. Now, I can carry it in my purse for a quick snap shot.

Organizer~
Keeping organized is so much easier when you make weekly calendar for everyone and post in an area where one glance do it all.

Creative gifts~
Looking for a cute gift that will be a memory and keepsake all in one?I did these for Christmas last year and since everyone fell in love with them, I thought we would share them.
Ilove doing poetry, so I did a message bottle, made out of wine bottles,I took a theme like a ocean,artificial sand, some shells, and attached a cute poem that represented that person
and put it inside of bottle . Just getting creative, can save you money, plus everyone likes something homemade, something made from the heart is always a winner.

Spot Remover~
Out of spot remover?Use some Dawn dish washing detergent and apply to spot .Should do the trick .

Flea Shampoo for your pet~
Dawn has many uses such as a good flea shampoo for your pet.

Uses for Lemon juice~
Lemon juice has been proven to be a good cleanser for your face.It puts back pH balances in your skin making it look clean and healhy.Also, good for cleaning, mopping floors,and a good air refresher.

Journal~
Keeping a journal is very helpful and good therapy.Everyone loves journaling.You can purchase the ones that are not that expensive and cover them, decorating them with all kind of acessories .This makes a good gift for anyone.

Perserving Walnuts~
Some time we get more walnuts than a recipe calls for, or get more at holidays and won't be able to use themall at once, try this. Reading a magazine I discovered that if you want to preserve those those walnuts and be able to use them at a ater date ,pack the nutmeats in a canning jar with rings and lids. Preheating oven to 225 degrees F.Place jars in oven for 45 minutes. Jars will seal onced cooked.The nuts will keep up to 4 years!Also,shelled walnuts can be put in freezer bags and stored in freezer.These are good for baking cookies, cakes, pies, and all your recipes that call for walnuts.

These are some tips that I discovered and are really good, hope you find them useful too!
