We wash our hands a lot and I always use pump bottles for the soap. They always push out too much making a mess and wasting soap. I put a rubber band around the part that you push down and the bottle. Now the kids can get the soap easily without making a mess. -- Denise from VA Hard Water Stains We have extremely hard water that is damaging to appliances, terrible tasting, and very hard to clean. We found Kaboom by Orange Glo, and it is awesome. No more scrubbing or using multiple cleaners to try to clean the bathroom. I spray it once a month in the dishwasher and on the heating element to remove the hard water build-up. Kaboom has saved me tons of time cleaning and added a little more life to my dishwasher! -- Kim from CO Beauty Facial Toner: I use Witch Hazel I bought at Walmart for 96 cents for a face toner. It works very well . Heals breakouts, minimizes pores. I am very i mpressed, I had read somewhere that a lot of stars use it. -- Jody from WI Cleansing Towels: I like the Daily Facial Clensing Cloths from Ponds, but at $7.99 for 30 that's a lot. So I took a paper towel, pumped face wash on it, let it dry, and cut it to size. Just run them under water and they get soapy just like the expensive cloths. -- Danielle from PA We need YOUR tips for our newsletter!

One of our newsletter subscribers is featured in an Article in First for Women magazine this week (August 11th issue). Ann Davis Bailey appears on page 90 in an article entitled, "He Puts Work Ahead of the Family." Congrats to Ann and her family for being selected! ----------------------------- What's Cookin': Pasta Bake 1 pound dry noodles (any variety works well) 1-26 oz. jar spaghetti sauce 8 oz mozzerella or monterey jack cheese, grated Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large casserole dish or cake pan pour in uncooked noodles. Add spaghetti sauce and two jars of water. Stir well. Bake for approximately 35 minutes or until noodles are tender. Sprinkle with grated cheese and bake for another ten minutes or until cheese is golden brown and bubbly. This recipe is easy, and cheap. It can be doubled for large families as well. For a variety you can add cooked ground beef, seasonings - whatever your family likes. -- Melanie form CA We need YOUR recipes for our newsletter! **We've recently had requests for vegetarian and lactose-free recipes. http://www.mommysavers.com/share_tips.htm ----------------------------- Real Moms: Money Saving Strategies We raise our own chickens, they are much cheaper and meatier than store bought. I can tomatoes, salsa and applesauce every year. I find that making home made mixes saves A LOT. Two we really like are ranch dressing mix and taco seasoning. Making food from scratch instead of prepackaged is much cheaper and healthier. We find many of our clothes at Goodwill. Also, pay cash whenever possible and stick to a budget. -- Vicki, 36, from MN Shop at the bakery thrift shop, read your local grocery store ads and shop for sale items and specials, freeze meals for busy nights, we eat a lot of pancakes and soup. -- Teri, 37, from MI Research what you use all the time, try different brands, and buy the one you like best, regardless of price. If you don't like it, you aren't going to use it, or you'll use it (such as foods) and then no one will eat it and it will be wasted money anyway. And remember when doing things to save money, that if it saves just a buck or two, but takes 30 minutes to an hour, you are "saving" money, but you may be "spending" time that belongs to your kids. They are only young once - make the most of every minute. -- Laura, 26, from TX These great hints came from our Real Mom Profiles. Keep 'em coming! To fill one out, click here: http://www.mommysavers.com/real_mom_profiles.htm ------------------------------ Fun for You and Your Kids: Alphabet Match-Up You'll Need: Clothespins Paper Tape Pen or marker Old magazines Scissors Write the letters of the alphabet on small pieces of paper and tape them to the clothespins, or print the letters right on the clothespins. Cut out magazine pictures, one for each letter of the alphabet, and have your child match the clothespin letters to the beginning sounds of the objects in the pictures. Clip the clothespins to the corresponding pictures.
