Found this on Facebook and thought it was a great tip.
Easy way to clean your dishwasher.
I saw this on Pinterest and tried it. It worked. In an empty dishwasher put a package of lemonade Kool-Aid in the ditergent holder and run. It cleaned the hard water spots. Pinterest mentioned to only use lemonade flavor Kool-Aid. At the store they only had strawberry lemon flavor, that worked fine for me. I think it is the critric acid that does the job.
Hold on! Sheet Straps

Childrens Chores
1. Making their beds. The triplets are suspose to make their beds daily. (What!!!) They do a pretty good job but it can be a battle. My kids are restless sleepers (not to mention playing musical beds) but their top sheet gets untucked. A pet peeve of mine is their not straightening and "retucking" (I don't know if this is a word I couldn't find it in the dictionary, but I use it.) the top sheet. I found a product hold on, it is sheet straps to hold sheets in place. They work. It's now very easy for the kids to keep their sheets tucked in and make their beds. It's a little thing but it makes our life a little easier.

Dish Towel Bibs
These are the greatest bibs I found. You take a dish cloth and fold it in half lengthwise and take a small plate or any round object you can trace. With the towel folded trace half of the circle in the upper third section of the towel. Cut out circle. Make sure the hole large enough to go over the babies head. Then finish the hole with rib knit. These are great because they are large enough to cover the kids clothes and they are durable. Just toss em in the wash and your good to go.
