I think most everyone in our area are experiencing a problem with gnats in the house. They are terrible this year. I have two gnat traps that I use to catch them. They go right to it and it keeps the population of those pesky gnats down. I empty the trap weekly and start all over.
Preventing Caulk from Drying Out
By Judy
Put a nail into the cut edge. This will keep air from coming in and drying the product out.
Magnetic Bookmark for Your Journal
By 15mhhm15
Keep your spot in your journal or notebook with this cute monogram initial magnetic bookmark. I was able to make a bunch of monogram bookmarks for myself and friends. They was quick and easy to make because I had a scrapbook paper with letters that I could cut out.
Organizing Socks for the Family
By Lisa Kless
Instead of using those plastic over-the-door shoe organizers for shoes, I use mine to organize our socks! After taking the socks out of the dryer, I just roll them up and place a pair in each pocket of the shoe organizer (I do this with pantyhose and knee-highs too).
I use a small plastic 3-tier shelf lined with plastic dishpans to separate clean laundry. Each dishpan is labeled with each person's name and one labeled "upstairs." 2 of my kids are old enough to put up their laundry.
Shower Hooks To Hang a Bag On a Walker
By coville123
