Women’s shelters go through thousands of feminine hygiene products each month. Agencies will generally donate obvious necessities such as toilet paper, diapers, and clothing, but many times feminine hygiene products get overlooked.
Seventh Generation, a green paper products and cleaning company, will donate a box of sanitary products to a women’s shelter in your chosen state. All […]

Remember that cold I had a few weeks ago? Well, it developed into a sinus infection. I really didn’t want to go to the doctor. That would mean money out of pocket for the visit and the medicine. I decided to look online first for some remedies. I was surprised at what I found.
I visited […]

Some friends of ours recently gave us a Little Tikes workbench. It was dirty and had a lot of crayon markings on it. I’m not complaining. It’s a nice toy. It just needed some cleaning. I tried baking soda and water, but it just wouldn’t get the crayon completely off. It did lighten it some, […]

My husband has been complaining about our very expensive canister vacuum since we got it about 6 years ago (FYI - we bought it used). I liked the vacuum cleaner because it was good on carpet and hardwood floors. This past year my husband has been talking to me about getting a Dyson vacuum cleaner. […]

It definitely pays to have some vinegar around the house. I need to go to the store to stock up on vinegar and baking soda. I’ve had a mustard stain that won’t come out of my daughter’s clothes. I […]

I don’t mean to sound like an infomerical :grin:, but I was websurfing today and came across the nifty Sili Gourmet Sling. This sling slips under your turkey, fish, or other meat while you’re cooking it and then allows you to easily pick up the meat without dropping it. This would certainly come in handy […]

Baking soda is an inexpensive cleaning tool. It is safe to use and gentle on your skin. This is important for me, since I have terrible eczema. Looks like I need to go purchase a large box of this amazing product. I am excited that there is a cleaner out there that won’t irritate my skin and cause pain. I […]

Today I was reading some posts at Cooking Gadgets. Arieanna has a post showing the top 10 gifts for bakers. I saw some items that I’d never seen before, including a pan for brownie edge lovers. (By the way, I like the middle.)
If you’re looking for a new idea for someone on your Christmas list […]

If you like the gadgets and gizmos you’ve seen on television, then you’ll like AsSeenOnTV.com. We actually have one of these stores in our mall. My husband likes to go in there and browse the tiny store. If you’re looking for someone that has everything or someone that is hard to shop for, then you […]

During my yard sale a few weeks ago, I found The Duct Tape Book. I decided that rather than selling it, I would put it to good use for thrifty mommies. So, you may find a good idea from these . . . or at least a good chuckle. Enjoy!
