Mommysavers Newsletter -- July 19, 2004 Visit our site for more great resources: http://www.mommysavers.com "It is at our mother's knee that we acquire our noblest and truest and highest ideals" -- Mark Twain ============================================================== Hello! We just got back from a wonderful family weekend where we celebrated my grandmother's 90th birthday. My grandma still is living by herself and participating in an active life with her friends, family, and church. She is amazing! I hope I'm still kickin' at her age! For some photos, click here: http://www.mommysavers.com/family_photos.htm Wow! I just checked out one of our shopping tips, for a huge toy sale and free ship on Amazon.com.

I fill it up in no time and my 2 yr old has her own "pool". I have another one for when her 6 yr old sister wants to have some water fun. Since their attention can be short - I don't feel like I'm wasting as much water as I would on a pool. -- Karen, 33, from NC Home Remedies We all know that breastmilk makes our children healthier and can save over $1000 in the first year but did you know you can put a little in your child's eye if they have pink eye to help clear it up? Or a little in their nose if they have a sinus infection? Or as a quick fix for a burn? -- Megan, 24, from OR Clothing To make my children's clothes last longer, I spray scotch guard on the knees and back of their pants and the back of their shorts. Since we wear shorts pretty much all year round here, I buy their shorts a bit bigger and they usually last a full year without fading or getting destroyed. You can also spray the front of shirts before they are first worn to prevent food stains from sticking. -- Christine, 33, from FL We need YOUR tips for our newsletter!

Tie the refreshments, decor, etc to the theme. Let's sayyour theme is THE OCEAN. Decorate with sea shells, serve goldfish crackers, bake a cake and use food coloring to make part of the icing blue (ocean), then crumble vanilla wafers on the other part (sand) and stick some little paper umbrellas in it. Use your imagination! -- Becki, 46, from IN We entertain constantly and are always looking to keep our "fun" costs down. When entertaining families with kids we always do a make your own ice cream sundae bar. (Wonderful during the summer!!) We purchase 2- 1/2 gallon containers of ice cream (basic flavors), 2 or 3 fudge/caramel toppings, whipped cream, chocolate chips, cheries and bananas. We use coupons in addition to a sale price for EVERYTHING!!! The left over toppings usually last for several get togethers and so we only need to purchase additional ice cream. The dessert is a HUGE hit and over the entire summer averages to less than $5.00 for each get together! This idea also works great if you have a really big crowd-- have each person buy a different topping and you supply the ice cream. Dessert is covered and everyone makes a sundae they love!! Enjoy! -- Andrea, 34, from NJ Have a tip for easy entertaining?

They were Tommy Hilfiger and Polo. At a store I got a pair of baby GAP cords for $2.49 At the grocery store they had "reduced for quick sale" hamburger for $.69/lb. for 90% lean and chicken breasts were $.89/ lb. -- April, 22, from IA When we remodeled our master bathroom, we knew exactly what bathtub we wanted. We went to Lowes, and come to find out they had just restocked them with tubs that were two inches more narrow that what we wanted. So, the only one left was the display. We spoke to the manager and hauled the bathtub home in our van for $75. -- Angie, 33, from MS These great hints came from our Real Mom Profiles. Keep 'em coming!
