I could have saved sooo many fingernails by doing this instead! Use a staple remover to put keys on your keyring!
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! That worked as well...worth a try...
Spices and seasonings in weekly pill box... What a great idea for camping or a vacation home!
Line a pathway with rocks painted in glow in the dark paint. During the day they "charge" in the sun and in the evening they reflect the stored light. Rust-Oleum Glow in the Dark Brush-on Paint.

I love this idea. Whoever thought of it is a genius. Use only 2-3 stocking hangers and a curtain rod so as your family grows you don't have to worry about finding hangers that match you old ones.

Use baking soda and vinegar to fix funky towels. Over time, and with many washes, your bath towels will build up detergent and fabric softener residue, leaving them both unable to absorb as much water and smelling kinda funky when they do. Rather than give Target another lump sum, run them through the wash once with hot water and a cup of vinegar, then again with hot water and a half-cup of baking soda, as wikiHow suggests. That strips the residue from them, leaves them smelling fairly fresh again, and makes your post-shower experience a dryer one,

Lemonade Kool-Aid as Dishwasher Cleaner Clean lime deposits and iron stains inside the dishwasher by pouring a packet of lemonade Kool-Aid (the only flavor that works) into the detergent cup and running the (empty) dishwasher. The citric acid in the mix wipes out stains; you don't have to.
Each family member has a "coaster" to place their glass of the day on. No more "grab a glass & put in the sink"... 50 x's a day! Great idea!

Ever wonder if your child has already been given her medicine?? In this case, it was twice/day for 10 days. Just an idea - use a sharpie & mark it right on the bottle! :)

Sarah Jeror I sooo need this. I am such a flake about this stuff. Fine tip on pill bottles too.
Travel Tip: A throwaway shower cap is the perfect "shoe bag" when traveling. The cap keeps the dirty soles off your clothes in the suitcase, yet takes up no additional room.
Use a dustpan to fill something that doesn't fit in the sink!
does this really exist, and does it really work? Chalkboard contact paper. No need to paint things now. Just slap some of this on there and it's a chalkboard. Would be great for labels, child's table top, many, many things!!

Sandy Jenney yes it does. I used it for the chalkboard labels on my kitchen jars. I don't want to put my link in because that would be tacky but if you go to my chalkboard pinterest board you will see it. :)) Cost around $8 per roll but goes pretty far.
Use a 2 liter bottle to make a drip catch for drink spouts

Smart Idea: Make large batches of soup then freeze in silicone muffin molds. Pop 'em out and freeze. Just reheat 2-3 pucks in a mug for a quick dinner. Perfect for the upcoming fall/winter season!

Sarah Jeror I haven't used fabric softener in YEARS. Just add white vinegar to the softener spot. So cheap and works great. I think everything lasts longer. Your septic will be happier too.
