Good tips

I continue to get good tips from Daytipper.com. Today’s:

Family
Always smile when your child enters the room
It makes you feel great and makes them feel wonderful. You will be amazed at how many more hugs and kisses you get to give and receive.

Household
Use car wax on your snow shovel
During the winter storm we had in the Midwest, I had to shovel 12 inches of snow. The snow was wet and kept sticking to the shovel and was slowing me down. So, I got some car wax and put it on pretty thick on the shovel, let it dry and the snow didn’t stick. The snow slipped off easily and I didn’t have to stop to scrape off the build up.

Pets
Use a stone to make your dog eat slower
We have an Old English Sheepdog with a very sensitive stomach. If he eats too fast, he hurls. So we took a fist-sized stone and put it in his bowl. Now, he must eat around it and as a result, it takes him about 5 minutes longer to eat his meal. This has eliminated the vomiting and thus the carpet stains.

Buying & Selling
Use Retailmenot to obtain coupon codes
Many online stores allow for a “coupon” or “promotion” code when you order to automatically assign discounts, deals and freebies. A great website, RetailMeNot.com, is a one-stop shop for finding and sharing these coupon codes.
