Mommysavers Newsletter -- February 9, 2004 Visit our site for more great resources: http://www.mommysavers.com "Career mothers are not kidding anybody. Being a mom is the hardest job of all. You got to work to rest." -- Sandy Duncan ============================================================== Hello! This Friday I'm taking both kids to Florida to visit my parents. It will be a challenge flying with two little ones by myself! We'll be so glad to just GET there. After enduring the Minnesota weather we'd had so far this year, it will be great to be somewhere WARM! Have a good week, Kim ------------------------------ Please Visit Our Sponsors: DO YOU NEED EXTRA INCOME BUT WANT TO BE HOME?? Join our #1 business opportunity and work from home around your family.

I them use a smaller heart cookie cutter to make a smaller heart in the middle. I then crush the left-over from Christmas candy canes and sprinkle them in the middle of the cookies. Bake and you get a minty swirl in the middle of a delicious cookie. These have been a hit and a great way to use up all those candy canes!! -- Jane, 36, from NJ Winter Gear Wonder what to do with all those wet mittens, hats & boots after the kids have been outside playing in the snow? My grandson's daycare provider had a clever idea I would like to share with you. She uses a shoe rack & slips the mittens, hats and boots on the prongs that you would normally put the shoe on. They stand up straight & dry quickly. It holds several sets & the toddlers have fun finding their own when it's time to leave. They also enjoy the praise & applause for choosing the correct outerwear that belongs to them! -- Deb, 52, from MN I use a shoe rack with clear pockets on the inside of my front closet door. This is perfect for storing items that tend to get misplaced during the winter, mittens, scarves, hats. I also use it for items that we requently take in the car, but don't necessarily leave in the car. These are things like walkie-talkies (when traveling with two cars), AA battery charger with a/c adapter, CD players, dog leash. The clear pockets allow you to see exatly what is in each pocket. You can even mark a row for each family member. -- Brenda, 41, from MI We need YOUR tips for our newsletter!

I found slippers in many fun colors and purchased for my daughter's "sleep over" birthday party. For $1.75 each they make a great take home gift rather than treat bags! They also have many fun sparkly shoes under $5.00- great for dressy occasions or for "dress up". -- Kim from MN For more shopping tips, click here: http://www.mommysavers.com/shopping_tips.htm ----------------------------- Valentine Ideas: For Valentine's Day or any time of the year give homemade "Favor" or "Coupon" tickets. Ideas could be "This Coupon/Favor is good for One Foot Massage" or ...Car Wash or Favorite Homemade Dinner, A Chore like cleaning up dishes, folding laundry, etc... Make these personal to the recipient's preferences. Be creative or simple. This doesn't cost anything & is a welcome gift. I've made 5 or six ticket stubs & stapled them together. My husband keeps them in his jewelry box for safe keeping. We've done this for years. From past experience, I suggest an expiration date & destroy the ticket after it's been redeemed! Great for kids too, I gave my 5 yr. old son Logan a decorated sheet of paper "This ticket is good for one Logan Day". We did whatever he wanted to do that day. He loved it!! And all he really wanted to do was stay home & play games & playdoh! -- Debbie, 34, from PA I made about 20 lavender hearts of paper and wrote a different something I loved about my husband on each one. I hid them in various places that he would find them--inside a shoe, on his razor, in a jacket pocket. I put enough of them in places that he would find a bunch early on, but some he didn't find for a few days. It was a nice surprise and he liked the specific loving items written on each heart. -- Genie, 40, from CA I did this for my husband years ago when we were first married and money was very tight. We couldn't afford to do a whole heck of a lot just starting out, so, I decided to give us a "Valentines Date" at home. I took his fold away fish house and set it up in the house, draped Saran Wrap on the floor to give the illusion of ice and cooked a nice delicious meal. He was welcomed home from work with a ice house retreat! He did the same for me for our Thanksgiving. Knowing that I've always wanted to see the ocean, he got a hold of a bunch of refrigerator boxes and drew the ocean with a bon fire on them, got a bunch of brown blankets and draped them on the floor to make it look like a sandy beach. When I got home that time, I was welcomed to see the ocean and hear the waves crashing (as he bought a tape from a store), and HE cooked a wonderful meal as well! It was the best Thanksgiving we had together! -- Stacie, 30, from MN For more reader ideas, click here: http://www.mommysavers.com/celebrations/valentine_reader_ideas.htm ----------------------------- What's Cookin': Mary Jo's Chicken Paprika I hope you and your family enjoy this as much as my family does! 2 lb. chicken parts 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons flour 1 10 3/4 oz. Jar (or can) chicken gravy 2 tablespoons shortening 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 cup chopped canned tomatoes 1/2 cup or more sour cream Directions: Roll chicken pieces in flour. Brown chicken pieces in shortening. Pour off the fat. Sprinkle chicken with paprika and salt. Add gravy, tomatoes, and onions. Cover and cook over low heat for 45 min. or till tender. Stir now and then while cooking. When nearly done, blend in sour cream. Serve over noodles or rice. 4-6 servings (I use a deep skillet with lid to fit when I make this dish) This recipe came from our Heritage Recipes page: http://www.mommysavers.com/Recipes/heritage_recipes.htm ----------------------------- Real Moms: In the Kitchen Can't open a jar? A vinyl-backed bib works well to open it up. -- Ashley, 22, from CA My favorite kitchen hint is to put browned hamburger meat into a gallon size ziplock freezer bag and squash it flat and stack them in your freezer. It takes up much less space, doesn't roll out of the freezer on you and thaws in no time at all! -- Rebecca, 37, from KY Add a packet of Kool-aid to one cup of sugar and put it in a zip-lock bag. It's ready to go, just add the water. Make as many as you can ahead of time. This is perfect for picnics when you don't want to transport the liquid until you are ready to drink. -- Jennifer, 27, from OH I use www.campblesssoup.com, and www.stovetopstuffing.com -- Debbie, 31, from MN These great hints came from our Real Mom Profiles. Keep 'em coming! To fill one out, click here: http://www.mommysavers.com/real_mom_profiles.htm ------------------------------ Fun for You and Your Kids: Coffee Filter Art Place the coffee filters on newspaper (to protect your table) and have your children draw/scribble on them with markers. Spray the coffee filters with water so the colors bleed together. Or, have kids decorate with watercolor paints. When dry, cut the coffee filters into heart shapes for Valentine's Day or bunch in the middle to create a butterfly. These look great hanging on a window or sliding glass door! -- Christina from CA We need YOUR tips for our newsletter!
