Quick Microwave Fix

Does your microwave need cleaning, but you hate dealing with hard to clean crusty spills?  Check out this quick fix!
 
After you wash dishes pour/dump a tablespoon of baking soda on your wet sponge.  Pop that sucker into the microwave and nuke for 2 to 4 minutes.  With rubber gloves on {the sponge is going to be hot, hot, hot} wipe down the inside of the microwave.
 
The baking soda is a great cleaning agent, and the steam from the super hot sponge will have helped to soften the crusties in the microwave.  An added bonus is that the baking soda will help neutralize any smell you sponge is taking on, and the nuking will help kill any bacteria living in you sponge!
 

You can also stick a microwavealbe measuring cup full of several cups of water, nuke that for 6 minutes, and then wipe down the microwave.

  6. Brilliant! I used to just toss a mug of water in there for a minute to "loosen the crusties" but your sponge idea is waaaay better. Gonna do that from now on. Thanks!

Pretty in Pink and Some Sparkles too!

A hat for my oldest in ballet pink (red heart yarn she picked) with some silver beads.  No pattern, and ended up running elastic thread through a couple rows to make it more secure on her head for now, until she grows into it some more. Matches a shoulder shrug knitted for her during her year of ballet lessons.

Add a ‘click-able’ signature to comments you make.

While blog hopping recently, I came across this fantastic tip listed on Be Our Best .  Jill has compiled her Top 10 Blogging Tips in one place to help others out there in blogland.  Most of them I had heard of before.  But she had one on her list that I have only seen a couple times in practice, and have not heard a how-to do it before. Number 6: Add a clickable signature to your comments. If you add the following text to the bottom of the comments you leave for other bloggers, whatever text you insert for “Your Text Here” will be clickable.  You have to switch out “{“ and “}” with “<” and “>” then it will work.  Remember to also change the “Your Blog Address” part, LOL! {a href=http://www.YourBlogAddress.com/ }YOUR TEXT HERE {/a} Bonus Tip ~ I use Notepad to store all the html codes I use on a regular basis {the direct link code for my signature image, color codes, etc.}.  I added the above code to my Notepad page, edited it with my information, and saved it.  Now all I
