this salt trick.

And his dad and him just kind of looked at each other and laughed.And he kindly explained to me that I could just put a few drops of food coloring into the balloons first.. Oh..

So we did.. By the time we got this all figured out and the balloons outside and mostly frozen, the weather was starting to heat up.The only semi-cold temperatures probably had something to do with why our balloon marbles look so frosty and not all clear and shiny.. Well, they’re still kind of pretty, so it wasn’t a total failure.. And one year, if we still have snow at Easter, I know just what to do!This maybe my favorite little home-keeping pearl of wisdom ever.I love my swiffer.

It’s so easy to use and lightweight and it picks up every little bit of everything from every nook and cranny of my floors.With 2 cats running around here now, I can easily use it 4 or 5 times a day..

The only problem with that is that those little disposable cloths that you buy for it can really add up quickly.

of the methods below!I’ve had this little idea floating around in my brain for awhile now..I bought this toothbrush holder a few years ago, but you see, I only have so many toothbrushes that need to be held and those ones already have a very fine holder indeed..

So I just kept it on a shelf and thought it had a pretty shape..I bought some cheap flowers the other day to make the house feel a little happier and the time was right!.
