Mommysavers Newsletter -- February 23, 2004 Visit our site for more great resources: http://www.mommysavers.com "Mother's love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need not be deserved." -- Erich Fromm ============================================================== Hello! We've finally had some warm weather down here in Florida after some cool temps last week. Today is our last day here, so we hope to get a lot of "pool time" before heading back to ice and snow at home in Minnesota. Next Tuesday I'll be on the KARE 11 Today show again, this time presenting ideas on saving money on baby items. I'm asking for your help for some unique ideas -- ones that will make the viewers say, "Gee, I had never thought of that!" Click here to see the ideas we've collected from readers in the past: http://mommysavers.com/moneysavingideas/baby.htm Submit your ideas here: http://mommysavers.com/moneysavingideas/baby.htm Kim Danger ------------------------------ Please Visit Our Sponsors: BE ONE OF THE FIRST to introduce Mia Bella Soy Candles in your area.

It works on everything. Mirrors are streak free when wiped with a dry towel right away, and counters and floors shine! -- Amber of West Salem, WI Snack Time A great snack for those who can eat peanut butter is to put the peanut butter inside a cake ice cream cone and let them have at it. My 2 year old loves it that way, and I don't have a big mess to clean up! -- Siobhan Jackson, 32, from MO Thrift Store Shopping Our local Goodwill Shop offers SUPER SAVINGS on Tuesday thru Thursday when they have their $.99 Tag Sale. The tag color(s) on sale vary from week to week so you really have to visit weekly (which is better than the mall to me!) For example, just this week I purchased a North Carolina Starter winter jacket for you guessed it....$.99!!!!! **HINT: THESE CLOTHES ARE WONDERFUL FOR SELLING ON EBAY ALSO!!** I sold four long sleeve t-shirts that I paid $1.75 a piece for at Goodwill for a grand total of $35.00 on Ebay! -- Michelle, 37, from OH We need YOUR tips for our newsletter!

Add water and knead. Add corn syrup, peanut butter, powdered milk, and powdered sugar. Knead well. Add more flour if dough is too sticky.
