Amen!

Hey I found my tip today.... ... Get a self cleaning oven. All you do is push the button that says clean.... Wooo Hooo.

Now if I could only find some way to get my driveway to clean itself of the snow..... LOL

God blessed me with a beautiful, brand new stove!
I can't wait to try that button!!! LOL!!!

Whirlwind's Housekeeping Tips
(insert fanfare here)

1. Everybody does his/her share. If you don't...adios.

2. Whoever does the laundry gets to keep whatever they find in the pockets (this helps in keeping pockets empty, he he he).

3. Do something to make your home beautiful every day. Hang a shelf, build a spice-rack, line your driveway with rocks, whatever. Lots of small things add up over a while.

4. Squeeze toothpaste into nail-holes in the walls to hide them when your parents come to visit.

Yah Violet.... I check my email every day. In fact it comes on as soon as I turn my computer on and tells me how many I have.

Whirlwind.....
You forgot to mention not to use the blue gel toothpaste!!!!

HHAHAHAHA!!!

I find this to be very helpful....
Especially for packrats.

Put a box in a closet.

Every day make yourself find 5 items (or more but no less) that you can part with!
When full take to the thrift store!
In my area they pick it up for me!
