Tipping Tuesday

Keep your drains clean and clog-free. Once a week I pour about a cup of baking soda down all the drains in my house. Follow it with vinegar. It will bubble up like crazy (remember making volcanoes as a kid), but it's supposed to do that. It's cheap and a lot less gross than digging the hair out of your tubs drain with your hands. Sometimes I finish it off with boiling water and sometimes I don't, either way the only time my sinks or tub gets clogged up is when Bear (my 2 year old) decides to stuff them with toys, or toothbrushes, or clothes, or change, or keys, or a whole roll of toilet paper complete with cardboard roll at once. In which case, baking soda won't work.

“The only measure of what you believe is what you do. If you want to know what people believe, don’t read what they write, don’t ask them what they believe,
just observe what they do.”

In honor of Random Acts of Kindness Week (11th-17th) I'm having my very own give-away. Leave a comment between now and Sunday, and one of my kids will randomly pick a name and we will send you some goodies. I have no idea what we will send, just be warned that I'm letting my kids decide and my kids are wierd. They are cute as all get out, but don't be mad at me if there is no rhyme or reason to what you recieve. Just know that I've already said no to a pair of used flip flops.

I always said that I'm going to try Angel Food Ministries, but something stops me every month. But I think it could save me some money each month, so why not. This might be the inspiration I need to give it a go. And with the menu and food already planned out, what could be simpler?
