Johnson & Johnson's baby lotion for sensitive skin has worked beautifully for my face adding just the right amount of moisture and leading to no breakouts whatsoever. It is hypo-allergenic and it costs only about $1.50 for 6-8 oz. I have used many expensive "good" moisturizers and this has worked just as well as any of them! -- Amy, 41, from MN Discipline I made a sticker chart for my children (age 10 and 3). It was very easy and cheap. I took construction paper, put their names at the top of each page, and let them help decorate them. When we were through, I put the desired behavoir or chore on it. At first I picked the three main problems we were having with them. If they have done all three things that day, then they got a sticker. When they get 7 stickers they get a surprise out of the surprise bag (their choice) and when they get 14 they get to rent a movie and have pizza. So far so good, it really seems to be helping. For the prizes I just pick up cheap toys (dollar store) or school supplies that they like but are not on list (gel pens, etc.). They don't know what is in the bag until they get to pick, and it always changes. -- Andrea, 28, from TX NEW! All moms who submit a tip are eligible to receive a Mommysavers Prize Pack!

I don't like to let email pile up in my in box just like I don't like paper piling up on my desk. I make sure I file all email into one of the folders I have created. I also create filter that automatically files email from certain people in the appropriate folder. Organizing Baby Clothes Quite often when you buy or are given baby or toddler clothes they come in outfits. A matching top and bottom, maybe even with a matching hat. One way to keep these items together is to fold them and put them in large zip-lock bags before putting them away. You will be able to easily see the outfit and the bags and be used over and over again. Tips courtesy of ThriftyFun.

On a plate, mix grated cheese, breadcrumbs, soup mix, and seasonings. I just toss some of everything until it's a nice pile & looks enough for however many chicken breasts I have. If I run out of dry ingredients, I can always toss some more together. Dredge each piece chicken into the dry mixture, covering it really well, and put into baking pan (I use a pyrex pan). If there is any dry mixture leftover, just sprinkle it over the chicken in the pan. Optional: to make it extra fancy, put 1 artichoke heart on top of each chicken, an a couple cut up strips of red pepper too. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Serve with steamed broccoli & rice pilaf. Everyone always loves it! You can use stuffing crumbs instead of breadcrumbs, too. -- Posted by Calimari on our discussion boards ----------------------------- What We're Talking About: >>Chit-Chat Hurricane Katrina, help naming baby, nice small towns in the South >>Organization, Crafts, Decorating and Household Scrapbooking swaps, view or share layouts >>Entertainment Catch up with other Big Brother fans, Book Club, info on the New Amazing Race >>Frugal Living Sam's price book list, Wal-mart price book list, coupon train Registration is quick, easy and your privacy is guaranteed!
