Tip of the Day #52: Preserving Baked Goods

Keep baked goods fresh by placing a lump of sugar in the bottom of the storage container. The sugar will absorb the moisture in the container, leaving your yummy goodies fresh for longer!

Tip of the Day #51: Butter Tip

Butter can be a nuisance when coming out of the fridge and takes awhile to warm, so use a vegetable peeler to shave small amounts that are much more manageable!

UPDATE: JULY 2012

Hi everyone!

I know I have not updated my blog since March 2012, I have just been very busy with other Mum 'n the Oven plans, advertising partnerships and the Bundle Program. I assure you this blog, along with my website, is back in action and I promise to keep it up-to-date from now on!
If you are new to the Mum 'n the Oven community, please feel free to browse past posts, including past 'Tips of the Day' where you can catch up on many household tips in one place! Although I do have the blog, A Mum 'n the Oven publishes MANY tips throughout the day on our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Mum-n-the-Oven/313496135360354 and our Twitter account: @amumntheoven --make sure to follow us!

Tip of the Day #50: Tupperware Stain Prevention

Spray your TUPPERWARE with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato based sauces and there won't be any stains.

Tip of the Day #49: Craft Supply Organization

For anyone who has or has had children, you know how many craft supplies either go missing or you find in random places--all in all, just not where they should be! The solution? A hanging shoe organizer does the trick!

Tip of the Day #48: Aluminum Foil in Dryer

Do you find that even after using dryer sheets, your clothes are STILL full of static cling?? Throw in a rolled up ball of aluminum foil and see the difference!! (You can use the same ball over and over again too)

Tips of the Day #46 & 47: Maintaining a Clutter-Free Home

Tip of the Day #47

Neaten as You Go!!
If you don’t make a mess, you won’t have a mess to clean up. Get undressed in front of the hamper, so there are no dirty clothes lying on the floor. If you have a walk-in, get dressed in the closet so you can put the hangers right back. In the kitchen, don’t wait around until the meal is over to clean, do it during downtime while cooking. When loading the dishwasher, put like items together so there’s no sorting when the dishes come out.



Tip of the Day #46

Say No to Piles!!! They are a huge reason many of us are left with CLUTTER!!!
When I go to put something on top of something else, I stop myself and instead figure out where it goes. If it means a trip up or down the steps, so be it. It’s great exercise!
