My fiancee has a 'smart mouth' and always says 'Hot tip coming in' really sarcastically when I do something silly. So I am going to give all you moms out there some of my 'hot tips' that I have come across being a mom ( things that I am sure most of you already know - but heh I didn't know so there must be someone out there that these thoughts will be of use to )
MY HOT TIPS FOR TODAY
* Making a pie crust ? Roll the pie crust out on a piece of wax paper and then just peel it off ( otherwise if you are like me it will just stick to the counter and you will end up really irritated and throwing it out )
* Training a puppy to do tricks ? Use hand signals instead of words - really , they have no idea what you are saying !
* Is your cat suddenly peeing on your carpet ? Try changing cat litter - honestly , it worked for me - she just didn't like the scented stuff - who knew cats were so picky ?
* Got something stuck inside your vacuum cleaner hose ? ( I once got one of those darn dollar store rubber balls stuck in mine ) Use a wire coat hanger ( stretch it out ) to reach up inside and pull out whatever is in there
* Want a REAL cure for the hiccups ? I swear this ALWAYS works - my grandmother found this idea in an antique book she has - one teaspoon of white sugar ( take it all in one mouthful without a drink - they will be gone right away ! )
* Is your dog barking driving you nuts ? Get a tin can and fill it with marbles, every time he barks shake the can - they hate the racket and it seems to work !
I have a bunch more of these silly little things I have learned as a mom - I will write some every time it crosses my mind ( my mind isn't very active so that probably won't be very often :)
