A Few GOOD Things

Martha likes to say, "It's a good thing." I have a few of my own:

*Check out www.quicken.com I just discovered that you can manage your bank accounts and budget, see pie charts and bar graphs, all for FREE!

*Schwan's chicken nuggets

*Big Lots for laundry fabric softener -- I can often find Downy, Gain, and Tide products for much less than other places.

*Oreck Pet stain remover for Carpets. Amazing. It can even take out permanent black ink from carpet (I won't get into the reason why I know this is true).

*The Conference Issue of the Ensign, with a pen in hand. Mark it all up -- make it yours.

*The magazine, Seeing The Every Day. There is nothing like it. Peace.

*3 newly read books: My Family Tree, Hattie Big Sky, and Criss Cross (all Newbery winners).

*Steamables veggies in the frozen food section. Super fast and no mess.

*Crock Pots

*Magic Erasers (not the Home Depot version)

*Reading old golden books to a child all snuggled up on a couch together (actually this is good anywhere).

*Portable Heaters (The best is from Costco. It is around $50, but worth every penny) They are silent, non-smelly, and won't burn a child (or catch a blanket on fire like Jeddie did when he was 2).

So... what are some of your "Good Things?"

makes everything warmer, though, when you start burning things. makes an already hot thing even hotter.
