WHIPPING CAKE MIX

When you buy a container of frosting for your cake. If you will take it out of the container and put in a bowl and whip it with a mixer you will get more frosting for your layers. If you like the taste of homemade choc. frosting I put mine in the mircowave for two minutes and not let it melt all the way and it makes it more like homemade frosting. If it gets to hot let it cool down a few seconds and then frost.

MOUTHWASH AND DRYER SHEETS

My son was telling me how you can use small containers of mouthwash sitting around on your picnic tables outside to keep the flys and bugs away. He also said that dryer sheets will also work for this. I am sure going to try this. Good for homecomings.

SHOWER CAPS

When you visit a hotel or motel don't throw away the shower caps they give you. Bring them home and use them to cover different size bowls that you keep your lefovers in in the ref. also good to use when on a picnic to keep the bugs out of the food. I buy packs of them for this at the dollar store and keep on hand. Good to use to take to homecomings.

CHALK BOARD ERASER

When it is raining and you can't get all the fog off your inside car window buy a chalkboard eraser and keep in the car. It will not leave streaks on your window like trying to rub it with a cloth or paper towel or napkin does.

COTTON BALL TIP

When you break something and see fine pieces of glass laying there take a wet cotton ball and it will pick up the fine stuff.
