I have always wondered how to keep my house clean from tracking in SAND! Well ,I have a trick for you. Next time your kids play in the sand, try sprinkling baby powder & watch it just brush off. It really is that easy & it sure helps in keeping the house sand free.

Spreading honey over minor burns can cut healing time by as much as four days. First cool the burn with cold water for up to  20 minutes then rub honey & cover with a bandage. Make sure to change bandages at least once a day hen reapply honey each time. If you feel that the burn is infected make sure contact your MD ASAP!

 If you're out and your child has a splinter, try using a credit card to flick it out.  I used this with success the other day, it got it out most of the way, then I just pulled out the rest!  A great tweezer substitute.

Keep a piece of gum in your purse just for those stressed out moments!!! Chewing on a piece of gum helps relieve anxiety,improve alertness, and REDUCE STRESS ...wow that made me feel better already:)

To reduce itching of a bite, cover with a piece of transparent tape. Tape creates a different sensation to the skin which can ease discomfort. This will also keep your little ones from scratching!!!

Apparently this one's been in use for a long time.  If your child has a minor scrape or scratch while you're out and you don't have any antibacterial to keep it clean, then you might find a good use for that extra pack of sugar you have for your coffee.  Just make a paste from the sugar and some water and apply it to the scrape after you have cleaned it off with water.  Wash off after a minute or two and you're good to go!  You probably saved yourself 30 calories by using the sugar too!
