Household Help

I have trouble squeezing the bottle of dishwasher detergent. I have found Electrasol is the easiest to squeeze. It leaves spots, though, so get the little basket of anti-spot stuff to hang in the doshwasher.

There are new dishcloths made of microfiber, called Miracle Cloths. They're expensive at 20 bucks for 6, but they're worth it. Really absorbent, no lint, no streaks. I bought a bunch of them for Christmas gifts, and I think I'm going to keep them for me.

This is boring, but this is my life...Who else has little discoveries? Help me out here! Betheny

I use the tablets instead of the liquid. No mess.

Zippered lingerie bags for washing socks. No more fishing socks out of the washer or pink whites from that missing red anklet.

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."

-I pour the bathroom cleaner into a bottle that is easier to squirt.
-I use grocery store bags in garbages because I can grab the handles to get them out.
-I hang my clothes up because its easier than folding them, and its easier to choose them

Buy a Chinese wok strainer. Not sure of the real cooking term for this wire mesh "bowl" on a wooden stick but it is great for straining pasta, veggies etc. without having to lift/move the filled pot of boiling water.
