Menu Plan Monday

Weekday breakfasts are always either toast, scrambled eggs or cereal so I don’t post those. Working from home, lunch is “whatever” so it isn’t definitive either, but weekends are usually a brunch and I will start posting those along with the dinners.

Homemaker Monday, Making a Happy Home Monday and Tips on Tuesday ~ GOOP

Homemaker Mondays is hosted by Robyn at 11th Heaven’s Homemaking Haven
Making a Happy Home Monday is hosted by LL at As for me and my house…
Tips on Tuesday is hosted by Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom

Anyone with kids or a husband needs to know about GOOP. GOOP, yes you read that right, GOOP! This is a miracle product found in the automotive section at Walmart or Target. And it’s inexpensive. This tub was $1.37. It is actually a hand cleaner, but it is more importantly to us homemakers a miracle stain lifter. I have been able to remove red ink, yellow highlighter, chocolate and even blood from our clothes as well as many unknown substances. Just rub it into the stain and let it sit a bit before washing. I have let it sit for a couple days even with no adverse problems.
