More Things Your Mother Should Have Told You....

Mother's never told us anything did they....well here are a few more things your mother should have told you..... 

Ants, ants, ants everywhere … Well, they are said to never cross a chalk line. So get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march. See for yourself.

Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and better still leaves a lovely smell to the shine.

When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, then pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily. I will have to try this one because hubby gets splinters all the time. I will let you know if it works. :)

Now look what you can do with Alka Seltzer. Clean a toilet. Drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush and flush. The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous china. Clean a vase. To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or cruet, fill with water and drop in two Alka-Seltzer tablets. Polish jewelry. Drop two Alka-Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and immerse the jewelry for two minutes. Clean a thermos bottle. Fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka-Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour (or longer, if necessary). Unclog a drain. Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka-Seltzer tablets down the drain followed by a cup of Heinz White Vinegar. Wait a few minutes, then run the hot water. WOW!! Who would have thought of all the uses for Alka Seltzer!! Guess it isn't just for an upset stomach is it. 

Just a few more little tidbits to know. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! :)

Ten Things Your Mother Never Told You

I saw this the other day on my Facebook page and thought I would share it with you. Some of you may have already seen this, but I thought it was nice. I could have saved it for Mother's Day, but I wanted to post it now and after spending the week with my son visiting and talking to my daughter non-stop this really hit home for me. Hope you enjoy. :)

1.   You made her cry......a lot.

2.   She wanted the last piece of pie.

3.   It hurt.

4.   She was always afraid.

5.   She knows she is not perfect.

6.   She watched you as you slept.

7.   She carried you a lot longer than nine months.

8.   It broke her heart every time you cried.

9.   She put you first.

10. She would do it all again. 

Have a wonderful day! :)

 MOTHER’S DAY POEM
 

I want to wish all of you Mothers out there a wonderful Mother's Day! Here is a poem for all of you mothers.  Have a fun and enjoyable day!!

 

 

 

Mothers’ arms were made for holding,

Made for folding snug and tight,

Little forms so soft and helpless,

Nestled there to say goodnight.

 

Mothers’ hands were made for stroking,

made for soothing childish woes;

Balm of wondrous magic healing

Through each gentle finger flows.

 

Mother’s lips were made for kissing,

 Made for drowning childish fears’

Smiles and kisses both together

Stop the flow of bitter tears

 

Mothers’ hearts were made for loving,

Made for love no others know,

God in Heaven! Bless and keep it

Ever pure as whites snow.
