Dryer Sheet Use

I learned that you can use a dryer to sheet to clean off your baseboards. I tried this and it works great and is so easily done. You don't get dust every where, it all stays on the dryer sheet.

 

Another plus to this tip is that your baseboards stay whiter longer and cleaner long. GREAT!!! Less work for me to do while cleaning the house.

 

Hope this tip helps you out and you enjoy just as much as I do.

Sisters we invite you to find the joy in a simple smile over the next few months

A smile costs nothing, but gives much.

It enriches those who receive it, without making poorer those who give

It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes last forever.

None is so rich or so mighty that he can get along without it and none is so poor but that he can be made rich by it.

A smile creates happiness at home, fosters good will in business, and it is the countersign of friendship.

It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and it is nature's best antidote for trouble.

Yet it can't be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value until it is given away.

Some people are too tired to give you a smile.

Give them yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.
