Pinterest is an online pinboard.
Organize and share things you love.
Another pinner said "I loved this life skills list! It gave me lots of ideas on things I want to work on with my children, in fun ways. If more people knew how to do all of these things well before adult life, it would make the adjustment a lot easier."

How to get your dirty whites clean again... HOT HOT HOT water, 1 cap of laundry detergent, 1 cup powdered dish washer detergent, 1 cup bleach, 1/2 cup borax. Tell you what, you have to rewash it once to put softener in but it's the whitest you'll ever see your whites. If you omit the bleach it works great to get stains out of colors too (baby spit up is no longer a stain on OLD clothes)

Use boiling water instead of tap water to make clear ice. Great for putting fruit, herbs, flowers or surprises in.

Add a cup of baking soda to the toilet and let it soak for an hour then flush. It will clean the toilet and absorb the odor. Cheap alternative to Lysol toilet bowl cleaner!

MOLD-FREE BERRIES!! When you get your berries home, prepare a mixture of one part vinegar (white or apple cider probably work best) and ten parts water. Dump the berries into the mixture and swirl around. Drain, rinse if you want (though the mixture is so diluted I find you can't taste the vinegar,) and pop in the fridge. The vinegar kills any mold spores and other bacteria that might be on the surface of the fruit. Raspberries will last a week or more, and I've had strawberries go almost two weeks without getting moldy and soft. Good to know

Add baking soda to the water when you hard boil eggs. It raises the pH of the water and makes them easier to peel by reducing the albumen's ability to stick to the shell. Nice tip!

Tina L This totally works! I leave it in the pot for about 12 minutes, put them in cold water and peel. I don't even have to wait 5 minutes-perfect as is!
