HAPPY HOMEMAKER & MENU PLAN MONDAY

I can’t believe how quickly Monday seems to come with each new week. This past week seemed to fly by and I didn’t get everything on my to do list finished. Maybe this week will be more productive. I’m adding a new category this week – Quotable Quotes. Be sure to link up with Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy homemaker Monday and with Laura at I’m an Organizing Junkie for Menu Plan Monday.

WEATHER OUTSIDE
Decent temperatures, unstable air, but dreary and rainy one minute and then sunny and gorgeous the next.

HEALTH & BEAUTY TIPS

Mix a small amount of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide together until you have a paste.
With a toothbrush scrub the paste into your nails.
Add the remaining paste to enough warm water to cover your fingers and/or toes and let them sit 5-10 minutes.
Rinse off and you have sparkling white nails.

HOMEMAKING TIP
Strong steeped tea makes a great permanent scratch cover for wood furniture.

ON MY MIND
Why is it that you no longer hear ” (insert name here) please pick up your children in the security office? Not once, but twice while grocery shopping yesterday the same 3 young children (and I mean to young to not be with their parents – like 5 or 6) came racing around corners with racing empty carts bumping into people and almost knocking over an old lady. When I was a kid these kids wold have been scooped up by a store employee and delivered to management to be picked up by their parents.
