Here are some helpful hot mom tips for the household I gathered from reading magazines this week:
- Using hair conditioner to shave your legs is cheaper than a shaving cream but leaves your legs really smooth. Also a great way to use up conditioner you no longer want to finish.
- A small glass filled with 1/2 Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with 2 drops of dish washing liquid draws in fruit flies and gets rid of them!
- Storing opened chunks of cheese in aluminun foil keeps it fresh much longer and not mold.
- Putting small piles pf cornmeal where you see ants is a smart way to get rid of them. They eat it, take it home, won’t be able to digest it and eventually kills them. May take a week or two but it works. You don’t have to worry about pets and children being harmed.
- The wax from the dryer sheets (to make clothes soft & static free) builds up in the lint screen of your dryer which can cause these dryers to potientially burn your house down. Wash the lint filter with hot soapy water and old toothbrush every six months. This also makes the life of the dryer twice as long!
- To keep squirrels from eating your plants, sprinkle the plants with cayenne pepper. It won’t hurt your plants and squirrels won’t come near it!
- Leaving bananas connected at the stem causes it to ripen faster. Take the bananas apart when you get home from the store.
- Peppers with 3 bumps at the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps at the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.

Propping a pineapple up side down will make it ripen quicker. Putting baking soda in the fridge or freezer will absorb odors. I throw my (too ripe for me)ripe bananas in the freezer till I have enough to make banana bread or muffins.
Great idea. I love these little tips.
