Tip of the Week

The TIP of the week is Bleach for bug bites. Out here in Texas, Fire Ants are EVERYWHERE in Texas. This these little beasts are holy terrors for anyone walking outside but especially for the kiddos that run around outside barefoot. Long story short, If/ WHEN they get bit pour bleach on the bite/bites. It will cause the poison to bubble out. It will make the bite area look like a pimple with a white head (GROSS I KNOW but it makes the booboo better real fast)

Trick of the week

Try to plan weekly meals out but, if that's not possible because, I get it life is insane, Plan evening meal schedules a week in advance....crazy I know. But this will help you with weekly budgets and grocery shopping. Funny thing, when I started doing this I found that my grocery bill got smaller because I was not buying for 7 nights a week. Getcha a dry erase board and stick that sucker on your fridge, make your menu and put your Online Grocery Order for pick up. Save time and money.
