- 05/20/13 10:46 PM
I am in the middle of my spring cleaning tasks around the house, as I am sure many of you are. I am a bit late this year, but better late than never :-). Here is a great way to tackle cleaning your walls and baseboards.

For Walls, most scuffs on walls will disappear with a spritz … (14 comments)

1. Remove paint from hands. Freshly painted walls can leave your hands stained with stubborn splatters. Mix a teaspoon of olive oil with a pinch of baking soda or sugar and use it to gently rub away dried drips. 2. Unstick zippers. Zippers will slide smoothly again with the help of a little oil. Carefully use a cotton swab to apply a small amount inside the slider body and move the tab up and down the teeth a few times.

waukesha remax realtor: Wake up allergy-free!
- 05/15/13 11:44 PM
I see a lot of folks miserable with allergies, especially this time of year. If you make small, easy changes to your bedtime routine, you will wake up feeling much better the next day.
Wash your hair or pat it with a damp towel just before lying down. Pollen sticks to your hair and can transfer to your pillow and sheets. This causes flare-ups that can keep you from getting a good night's sleep.
Take allergy medication. This seems obvious, but I usually only take medication as a last resort, for anything. Taking allergy medication ensures that the drugs … (18 comments)

- 05/12/13 12:30 AM
Mother's Day comes once a year. Some think that if they buy their mother flowers and a card that they have fulfilled their obligation for the rest of the year. If we only comprehended a 10th of what our mothers did for us as children, and how they would literally die for us if needed, we would realize that one day is not sufficient.

waukesha remax realtor: Strawberries...who knew?
- 05/08/13 11:50 PM
Did you know that a strawberry should technically not be called a berry? True berries, like blueberries and cranberries, have seeds inside, whereas strawberry seeds are on the outside of the fruits.
Since the 1800s, strawberries have been a grand slam at Wimbeldon. Each year, spectators consume over 30 tons in the form of strawberries and cream, the event's signature dish.
When it comes to deciding whether to splurge on organic strawberries, consider that they have more vitamin C and antioxidants than conventional berries. Also, because they contain less water, they tend to have more concentrated sweetness. They are … (23 comments)
