Pinner says: Mosquito Spray...I was at a deck party awhile back, and the bugs were having a ball biting everyone. A man at the party sprayed the lawn and deck floor with Listerine, and the little demons disappeared. The next year I filled a 4-ounce spray bottle and used it around my seat whenever I saw mosquitoes. And voila! I say: Worth a try!

This is BRILLIANT! Each member of the family has a mesh lingerie laundry bag, and a hook. They put their dirty socks in the bag each night. On laundry day, you wash the whole mesh zipped up bag, and give it back! No more sorting through and figuring out which socks are for which person.

Katrina Beyer Yeah, this cracked me up!
Preserve a pristine stovetop by applying a thin layer of car wax, then wiping it off. Future spills will lift off easily. ....mind blown.

DIY baby gates using half- doors- very cool idea.

Jennifer England Greg actually did this to one of our doors. Looks so much better than a baby gate, easier to use too.
Wash them in a mixture of one part vinegar (white or apple cider works best) and ten parts water, swirl around and drain. Rinse if you want (the mixture is so diluted not to 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, and voila! Raspberries will last a week or more, and strawberries go almost two weeks without getting moldy and soft. You're so berry welcome!

As you can see, Mr Wilson is made out of a tennis ball and has most excellent grommet eyes. The functional mouth serves to hold your hand towel, keychain, magic bean collection – or whatever else you think could fit in his mighty mouth.

Anna DeVries You, as creative as you are, could totally do this with your current supplies. Just choose 5 different layouts you love and stick with it. You could even organize and coordinate your supplies. Just do 1 2-page spead per month. Use just your favorite photos. :)

"I baked these cake layers the night before I was putting my cake together. I left them out on the counter with a slice of bread on top so that the cake layers would not become stale. The bread becomes hard as a rock, but the cake layers remain moist and as perfect as when I made them. I use this same trick with muffins, cupcakes, anything that I want to leave on the counter."

to get rid of the nasty black gunk in your drain: 1. Put a pot of water to boil. 2. Meanwhile pour baking soda down the drain. Baking soda has the ability to neutralize fatty acids so it will work and eating away the grime while you are waiting for the water to boil. 3. Once the water has reached a rolling boil remove it from the stove and pour it down the drain. 4. Let the water and baking soda work at decomposing and sterilizing the grime for 10 minutes. 5. After 10 minutes has expired pour 1 cup of bleach down the drain to completely kill any remaining mildew or bacteria. Because we use our sinks multiple times on a daily basis I recommend repeating this process every few months. Repeating this process on a regular basis will keep the "creepy black stuff" from accumulating and clogging your sink. It will also keep the nasty mildew smell at bay.
