I saw this idea on Pinterest and since I had to boil a lot of sweet potatoes yesterday,  I decided to give it a try.  It really worked!  As you can see, the pot was filled with water and I had the burner on high and never once did it boil over.  I will definitely be using this tip again! And if you have not tried Pinterest , you really should.   And if you have not entered the giveaway for the Tropical Traditions Powdered Laundry Detergent, you can do so HERE.

If you have not found Pinterest yet, then you are missing out.  This has been one of the best places that I have been on the internet.  It is so fun and addicting so I need to be careful.  But I love the fact that it allows me to create bulletin boards for any category I want and then pin any item of interest that I find.  Then I have it saved, with a picture so I can go back to it for future reference.  I have found so many new ideas, recipes, fun stuff, tips, and even new friends.  If you haven’t tried it, you should.  Today I did a frugal little project that was so fast and easy.  I made my own cleaning rags.  I had pinned a tutorial on my frugal board and then just changed it to fit with what I already had in the house.  You can see the original tutorial here in case you like what she does. Below you see what I did: cut up some old dish towels put the towels into the Rubbermaid container Added about a cup of water Added a few...

I was scrolling through my facebook friends one day last week and happened upon a comment by a good friend.  She had just made caramel popcorn for her children from a recipe that her mom had given her.  The nice thing about this popcorn was that it was made in the microwave.  Well, it so happened that I had been having a craving for some caramel popcorn, but wanted a simple recipe.  When I saw her comment I asked if she was going to share the recipe and she did!  Yippee!  I was happy to get a fast, simple recipe.  In fact, I made myself some.  Since there was only one of me to eat the popcorn I did not want to make a total recipe so I “guesstimated” and scaled it down to  a one portion size.  And yum yum, it was very good.  Here is all you do…………. Microwave Caramel Corn - makes 3 - 4 qts . 2 T Light corn syrup, 1 stick margarine, 1/2 cup brown sugar in microwave on high for 3 minutes. Add 1/4 tsp. baking soda...cook a...

  Below are just some household tips and hints. I have not tried all these so can’t tell if they work or not.  You can try them at your own risk. I don’t even know where I found all these.  I guess I just gathered them up here and there hoping to try them.  So if you see one that I have “stolen” , please let me know because that is the last thing I want to do.    I know there are many many more tips than I could even list!  One thing I love to do is get a hold of those little books that list lots and lots of tips.  I can always find something that sounds good and that I want to try.  If you know a great tip or a great homemaking website, would you do me a favor and leave a comment below with your tip or your website or both.  I would love to add to this.  Thanks so much! 1. Remove a laundry stain from clothing as soon as you know it is there. 2.  Easy oven clean-ammonia on aluminum pie pan in your oven overnight....

Don’t waste your money on sweetened condensed milk.  You can easily make your own.  I just made some for a coconut cake that I am making for hubby for Father’s Day!
