Place a bowl with a cup of water and a cup of vinegar in your microwave. Add two tablespoons of lemon juice and run on high for two minutes. The moisture will soften any residue on the interior of your oven and you can just wipe it down! Happy cleaning!
It's time to turn your firewood for summer. There are three things to remember: 1. Flip each piece upside down 2. Use a stand to keep it 18 inches off the ground 3. Keep it 2 feet away from your house or storage building. When fall rolls around, your firewood will be dry and ready to use!
Not from the grocery store, silly! In the air! May is a good time to get outside and fly a kite. You need wind but not too much. Look for an open space (no power lines) and with a partner, let your kite fly! Here's a cute one from Walmart in the shape of a brightly colored butterfly.
When writing out chores for your kiddos, choose simple words. Use instead of utilize. Near instead of proximity. Help instead of facilitate. (This works for your spouse, too, when giving directions for picking you up at the airport!) Use longer words only when they say something you can't get across any other way!
With spring's longer days and warmer weather, search out local trolleys on the internet. It's worth scheduling the open-air pleasures of a trolley ride (the wind in your hair!) as someone else does the driving and lets you take in the sights! Likely, your trolley ride will amble through the historic part of town, so remember your camera when you go!
