Below you will find household "how-to's" for making powdered laundry soap, to how to quiet your downspouts when it rains! Along with instructions for making woolen dryer balls to cut the static and help keep clothes clean. Or how about a homemade wedge pillow for comfort? We even have a hack to keep your tissues popping up, in that almost empty box of tissues!

You will also find a few tips and tricks like how to combine garlic and vodka (yep, stay with me here!) for a chemical-free ready-to-use minced garlic in a jar, easy ways to make brown sugar, and soft real butter spread

And from there you will find actual recipes for so many good things, like a batch of Homemade Toffee that does not require a candy thermometer, or White Chocolate Peanut Butter, and on to a copycat version of Cafe Yumm sauce! 

Come and take a look at all that is offered here, just for you!

Easy DIY Homemade Household Weed Killer!


Repurpose an empty thread spool, in a pinch!


Please ignore the horrible photo, but an empty thread spool makes the perfect shower caddy holder. Perfect for those showers with only a handheld shower or if you need more than one caddy to hold all of the family's shower time needs.

Kitchen Tips, Tricks, and How To's!



Use a small dish rack as an in-drawer knife rack.







Easy Pickled Beets From Leftover Sweet Pickle Brine!


Peel the cooked beets, cut into pieces, place cut beets into a jar, heat the leftover brine to hot, pour over the beet pieces, cap and let sit 24 hours before eating!












How to Make Easy to Peel Hard-Cooked Eggs. Stovetop steamer method. 































When you bring beef home from the market, package in freezer bags with a couple of Tablespoons full of red wine vinegar BEFORE you store it in the freezer. When thawed discard the vinegar and proceed with your recipe. You will have tender beef for stew or whatever you are cooking up! I do this with stew beef, chuck steaks etc. and usually label the bag with the code RWV.
