I love this post!! I had no idea Kool Aid or peanut butter was so handy.
I love all the tips...
great post Amy! :)
Wow, those are some brilliant tips, thank you!
Amy-I've given you an award. You've gotten this one before, but you deserve it!
WOW!! Good tips!!!
Cool!!! TFS.
Wow--most of these were new to me. I feel like Heloise now--you know, the Hint lady from Good Housekeeping? But I don't have her luxurious white hair. Alas...
I'm with you on being in love with Edward. Stephenie Meyer even says she's in love with him. It's a good thing. I rather enjoy him myself, and the more I see of Robert Pattinson (who's playing Edward in the movie), the more I am really digging him, too. Really, it all just makes me so happy!
Thanks for the award!
And what a great post! These hints are so handy :)
Great tips! I ran into you on "Blog Around the World." I am from Louisiana too!
I am adding you to my blog roll too! I am excited about our visitors Monday!
Awesome thanks I am going to copy and print this to put on my fridge The Mayonase thing for lice works even better if you wrap it with plastic wrap as well, also Bleach kills the sting of a bee :)
Sadly, I didn't know almost all of these, but I'm SO very glad you posted them. SOOOOOOOOOOOO helpful. THANK YOU!
I love this!!!!
Must email to everyone I know!!
Wow... what great tips! i'm going to print these out. thanks as always for visiting my blog!

Kool-aid can be used to flavor/color frosting in a pinch. Be careful though, it can be pretty strong tasting!
Oh, and hairspray is the best removal of ink stains.
Great list! I love stuff like this .. Jello for stinky feet, huh? Now I'm left wondering, do you sprinkle it in your shoes, or do you make it and insert feet into the set Jel .. lol
Very cool! I stopped by for the Blog Around the World, but this is great for all the random stuff I never know how to fix. Thanks!
