Get Your Deal Of the Day, from Juice in The City

Howdy HouseHold Tippers!
I want to let you in on a new program for you and your 'HouseHold'.
Welcome To Juice in The City Deals!

Every Day you will see the Juice in the City Deal to the right,
simply click on it to like it and to take advantage of the deal!
When enough people like it, it then offers a discount or coupon to that establishment!
I’m a Founding Member of the DC Juice in the City! But wherever you are, you will see a deal for your closest city.
As this online community grows you will see instead of ‘like it’ change to just a coupon under the deal for you and your family, so just click on it now!
Again, DC has just launched so click on ‘Like It’,
but, for example, the San Fran Bay Area has been up and running for a month or so, so if you’re tuning in from the San Fran area, you’re seeing a discount off some activity there! Get it?
Cities are now been added all over the country and will be changing from ‘Like It’ to strictly discounts for you and your family!

So again, whenever you like a deal, please click on it to insure that a discount will next be offered from this establishment, or if you simply see a discount to print out- do it!
It’s that simple 

Enjoy!

Check This Out! Doesn't this Blog Look Snazzy Now?!

So, What do you Think??!!

Doesn't this blog look snazzy now?!!!

I finally got a blog designer to help me out!

I didn't do this until now for to 2 reasons:

1.  I thought the cost would be too much.

2.  I didn't know where to begin finding a reasonable blog designer.

The answer: DCR Design!

Jo-Lynne, of DCR Design is a Mommy Blogger and Blog Designer.  She is very reasonable, as you can here on her Pricing Page.  And more than that, she's nice, smart, timely and will give you exactly what you want or if you have no idea- she'll suggest different ideas!

It was truly a pleasure working with Jo-Lynne, and so easy, I wish I'd done this sooner!

I like Jo-Lynne so much, I had her snazz up my My Mom Blog, BananaBlueberry too!  Look at my cute button to the right for BananaBlueberry- click on it and look at my other blog too!

And thanks also to Leticia- TechSavvyMama for recommending Jo-Lynne to me!

Please leave a comment or tweet me with any questions-

I'm happy to help!

Get Rid of Bugs Around Your Backyard... and Deck... and Eating Area

Wanna Get Rid of Flies
and Gnats
and Mosquitoes?
Yes, we all do!

Here's your answer!
I first heard about this solution last year, and blogged about it on my mom blog,
BananaBlueberry.  Basically, here's what you do-

Fill up clear plastic bags with water, close them, and sit them on tables, or around your deck to keep bugs away.  Make sure they are in the sun; the light hitting the water is confusing to flies and bugs in general, and creates a prism- creating a bug-free zone!

But wait, there's more!  I looked this up on the web and found a great video about it on eHow...
Put a couple of pennies in the little plastic bags filled with water- this makes the prisms even more confusing to bugs!  Hang them in trees around your party area, or eating area and all bugs will be gone,
again, you'll have a bug-free zone!

** Just make sure to take down and collect the plastic bags when you go inside- we don't want to leave plastic outside that squirrels or birds or other wildlife could harm themselves with!

Happy De-Bugging!

Another Tip About 'Adjustable' Kitchen Gadgets

We're ending the week here at HouseHold Tips Blog
with another tip from from a Reader!

There is a lot of interest out there about 'adjustable' measuring
gadgets-
whether they be spoons, or cups... or something else.

A HouseHold Tips Reader, Tech Savvy Mama (who is Super Cool, a Great Mom and has a fantastic blog about all things Tech + Being a Mom) found another adjustable measuring  cup...

Pampered Chef has one too!

I, myself, have never been to a Pampered Chef Party, but what a great success story!  

It's a MOM business, started in 1980,

and now... a $700 million enterprise!

Keep Your Eyes and Ears Open: Tips Can Come From Anywhere

Today's Tip is:


Keep Your Eyes and Ears Open-


HouseHold Tips Can Come From Anywhere :)


It goes along with one of my favorite 'rules of life'...


BE AWARE.
If something- a chair, basket, etc. is hindering a room flow and is constantly 'in the way'... Move It.
If someone needs help with a door- Help Them.
If you're constantly looking for a broom- Go out, buy one, and have 'A Place For The Broom'.
You get the 'gist'.


So I came across a very funny blogger the other day, Kacy, who writes-


Everyday I Write the Book;


She has written a great post entitled:

Obvious Tips for Not-Very-Good Homemakers

It's not only hilarious... she shares Great Tips!

And in the Comments below it,

people share some really good HouseHold Tips too!

Go check it out-

Best Case Scenario: You Learn a new HouseHold Tip,

Worst Case Scenario: As Kacy says in her post, 

"If they strike you as obvious that's good news for you--

you are probably better than not-very-good..." 

And that's Great News!

So you win either way :)

I love it when that happens!
