BABY POWDER TIPS

Stop ants from invading your picnic by sprinkling some baby powder around your blanket. The powder is too dense for the ants to struggle through, so they leave you alone.

You can protect your flower bulbs from pests by placing 5-6 at a time in a zip-top bag and add 3 T spoons of baby powder. Gently shake for a few seconds. The absorbent powder coating protects the bulbs from rot while the smell of the powder keeps away pests.

Keep cool at night by sprinkling your bed sheets with baby powder. The highly absorbent yet barely noticeable powder will soak up that night time perspiration. This is a good one and for those extra hot summer nights, it is great!

Keep cool and have a safe day!

ABOUT US

Chris and I became friends over 20 years ago when we were neighbors in the Philippines. We were living there with our families because of our husbands' jobs with Westinghouse. In fact, we were next door neighbors on the compound that we lived in. After returning Stateside, we were lucky enough to have Westinghouse assign our husbands to the same work site. Our husbands are good friends, also. We enjoy each other and feel fortunate to be blessed with such good, loving friends in our lives.

We cannot take credit for the helpful hints, tips or recipes that we put in. These are an accumulation of ones that we have collected over the years and still collect. We won't mind if someone needs a hint or recipe that we haven't posted yet and they want us to try to find it for them. In fact, we would like the challenge!

Chris and I have always loved to collect cookbooks, recipes and hints. You would not believe the number of books and newspaper and magazine clippings that we have. Plus, Dennis, Chris's husband, loves to cook and has some to add to the mix. I know there are those of you out there that have the same sort of collection. I was getting ready to get rid of some unneeded things I have around here and get ready for my huge annual Thanksgiving event. I thought I would share this with "the world" and Chris feels the same way. (Her and I are so much alike, it's scarey sometimes. To our husbands, that is!) Plus both of us are Taurus! Chris might even have some decorating tips for you because she is great at that. That is something that just doesn't come to me and I turn to her.

If you would like to comment on any of our postings, please do. We would love to know who is reading them and if they may in some way be of help. Or just entertaining to someone. We would love to know what you think of our little project.
