"The best inheritance a person can give to his children is a few minutes of
his time each day." -- O. A. Battista

==============================================================

Hello!

We just got done entertaining two groups of 25+ people last week.  We had a
blast, but we're tired and looking forward to a quieter week.  Summer is going by
WAY too fast.

Have a great week!

Money/Time Saving Ideas:

Soap
Foaming hand soap pump dispensers can be refilled with regular liquid hand
soap by diluting with water.  When my foaming pump dispenser is empty, I
fill it with approximately 2 parts liquid hand soap and 1 part water,
replace the top and gently tip bottle back and forth until mixed (shaking
will cause it to bubble more than blend).  Foaming dispensers (Johnson's
Kids, Soap Works, Dial Complete) are so easy for my small children to use
and rinses off so easily, now I just refill instead of buying new ones. --
Renee, 41, from NY

Cleaning
The first is more of a reminder that baby wipes do an awesome job of
cleaning kids shoes.  A quick wipe down adds a ton of life to the shoes. --
Katy, 35, from MD

Price Matching
Shop Walmart and make sure to take your list of price-match items.  They do
not hesitate to price-match from ANY store and I've saved absolutely tons of
money by doing this.  They also accept coupons.  It's much easier that
buzzing around to 4-8 stores to get items when I can get them all under one
roof! -- Rebecca, 34, from AZ

Save Over $2000 in your Baby's First Year by Kimberly Danger
According to a recent MSN study, the average family will spend around
$10,000 before their child reaches the age of two. How did such tiny
creatures become so expensive? Here are a few ways to save that deliver the
biggest bang for your buck

Thrifty Fun:

Exercise Equipment
Looking for cheap or free exercise equipment? Visit garage sales. After a
weekend or two of going to garage sales in your area you probably could
outfit your own gym for as much as it cost to buy one treadmill at a
sporting goods store. Also, subscribe to your local freecycle list. For more
information visit http://www.freecycle.org . People are always giving away
exercise equipment on my local freecycle list. One word of caution, exercise
equipment takes up a lot of space. Make sure you have more room for it and
make sure you use it!

Use a Tea Light in Pillar Candles
If you like to decorate with large pillar candles, but don't like it when
they get short, just let them burn down to the height you like, pour out the
extra wax to form a hollow inside of the candle. Slip in a tea light and
then you can just change tea lights each time you want to have candlelight.

What's Cookin':  Beef and Potato Skillet Dinner

1 lb. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 box au gratin potatoes
Grated cheddar cheese
Milk
Water
Salt Pepper

Brown and drain 1 lb. ground beef and one chopped onion, along w/ salt and
pepper to taste, and return to large skillet. Add 1 box of au gratin
potatoes, and add milk and water according to package directions for "stove
top." Cook until potatoes are tender. Transfer to casserole dish, and top
with grated cheddar cheese (sharp cheese tastes really good on this, but
it's a matter of preference). Bake at 350 for 15 min. or so, until cheese is
bubbly, but not browned.
Yeah, it's a "box" dinner, but it is GOOD! -- Lisa A.

1000 Best Baby Bargains:

#483.  The Children's Place website has an online outlet that frequently
offers clothing for $3.99 and under.  Click on "Shop Outlet" when you visit their
site.
http://www.mommysavers.com/deals/childrens_place.htm

#476.  Wait for Gymboree's Circle of Friends Sales (30% off) and Gymbucks
periods (buy $50, get $25 to spend later) to shop.  Combine these sales with
clearance merchandise, and you can save quite a bit.  Here's a bonus:
Gymboree stores will often only display merchandise from their most recent lines on
the sales floor.  Clothing from past lines that didn't sell is often stored in the
back room. Because these pieces have been around the longest, they've seen the most
markdowns. If you ask, you may be able to take a peek or have the sales associate bring
out what they have in the size you're looking for.
