Mommysavers Newsletter -- September 27, 2004 Visit our site for more great resources: http://www.mommysavers.com "What you teach your own children is what you really believe in." -- Cathy Warner Weatherford ============================================================== Hello! Sydney and I signed up for the Blockbuster online DVD rental program that was in the newsletter last week, and have been having lots of fun choosing our movies. They have a lot of choices for kids like Disney Movies, Dora, Barney, Clifford, and other favorite characters. We get them in the mail, along with pre-paid mailers to send them back. When we send one back, they send us another on our list. It's really fun! Here's a link to a free two-week trial: http://www.mommysavers.com/deals/blockbuster.htm Have a good week!

I bought a huge bottle of it and picked up a medium-size dropper style bottle (or you could use an empty eye drop bottle) to focus it just where you want it. This will save you using excess product when you don't need to and just makes it easier to handle. Without trying to sound like an advertiser, OxyClean does work awesomely for one thing - dried, set-in blood. Just immerse the area that is affected in a bowl of cold water and dump a few spoonfuls of OxyClean on top - make sure that there is enough water for the OxyClean to dissolve completely, and let it set for at least half an hour. I did this with a king-size bedsheet the other day. I did not soak the whole sheet - just the affected area in a small bowl, and now my white sheet does not look like a "casualty." -- Laura, 34, from GA Leftovers Whenever I have leftovers I take masking tape and a permenant marker and write what it is and when I made it. I pay more attention to whats in the fridge when I can see what it is. If I have to guess it sits unused longerand then I waste it. -- Julie, 35, from KY We need YOUR tips for our newsletter!

I purchased sweatpants with either a stripe down the side, or painted a stripe with fabric paint. I also purchased a sweatshirt in the same color as the stripe, usually contrasting to the pants (gray pants with a blue stripe = blue sweatshirt). I then painted the sweatshirt with fabric paint putting one stripe around each arm, large numbers on the front and back, and our last name on the back. I then made shoulder pads from an extra thick white foamie sheet (9x12). I cut a circle out of the center and then cut that circle in half. I made a cut from the center hole to one long edge, and then poked holes on that edge for the laces. I rounded off the short ends and attached the half circles (from the center) to those edges, again poking holes and lacing them). It fit great under the sweatshirt and was soft so as not to hurt him at such a young age. Each was also able to wear the sweatshirt and pants until they grew out of them. Those outfits are now in our cedar chest! -- Deb, 33, from MN ----------------------------- What's Cookin': SLOW COOKED SWISS STEAK 3 to 4 lb. round steak 1 can stewing tomatoes 2 Tbsp. flour 1 1/2 sliced onions flour for flouring meat Cut steak into serving size pieces; tenderize. Combine 2 tablespoons flour with stewed tomatoes. Set aside. Flour meat and lightly brown in medium skillet with small amount of oil. Layer steak pieces, onions and stewed tomatoes in slow cooker. Cook 6 to 7 hours on low or 3 to 3 1/2 hours on high. This recipe came from our slow cookery page: http://www.mommysavers.com/slow_cooker.htm ----------------------------- Real Moms: In the Kitchen I take a day during each season and cook to fill the freezers. I cook lasagnas, baked spagetties, all sorts of casseroles, soups, etc. Then on days when we are running short on time (or money), we pull out the food and have a ready homemade meal. -- Sabrina, 27, from VA Have a snack rack. My girls were constantly callin me at work, asking what they could have for a snack. Finally I put in a small wire rack and filled it with fruits, small bagged up cereal pouches, and a cookie jar. The rule is that they can have anything on the rack, but if they chose the cookies, they could only have 2. Since the cereal and fruit are more filling. I don't worry about their snackin on junk after school when I'm not there. Has been a great addition!! -- Laura, 29, from OK I love using bran flakes from the health food store when I am making muffins or sweet breads. Just substitue 1/2 a cup of the bran for the flour you are using. Adds texture and fiber to all sorts of things. -- Monica, 26, from WA These great hints came from our Real Mom Profiles.
