some helpful hints-Oh if you ever have something that works post it

Amazing truth, I love my magic eraser but when it comes to crayon put it down, go to the garage and get the WD-40, 1 spray and then a nice little wipe. Works on lipstick also. I just did a narea where Grace spilt wax from my warmer and it worked there also

To rid you yard of snakes line the perimeter with lime you get from a feed and tackle store. They stay clear it burns there bellys when they cross. I would also line the house so if they are under there they dont come out. I have heard it is kid and people safe but I would double check.

If you have a pan that has caked on stuf soak it in water and fabric softner sheet. Wahla it cleans it off.

If you are caring for an older person or your childs bed smells of urine,,,,beside using  scentsu cinnamint in your warmer (plug), put peppermint oil in a sguirt bottle with water and spray the bed-around the box spring!!!

Final helpful hint: to clean your shower or bath white as new use oven cleaner FUMELESS of course!!!

I am a consultant for scentsy!!! I love my job

About Scentsy - the candle company


Scentsy is a company that provides wickless, flameless, sootless, leadless candles - our candles are highly scented and safe to use just about anywhere. Scentsy candles are designed to quickly fill your home with beautiful, long lasting scents. Using a 15 watt bulb, 20 watt bulb or 25 watt light bulb to melt the highly scented Scentsy wax. The Candle warmer system is easy and simple to use. Simply put one or more cubes of Scentsy wax into your candle Warmer dish, plug it in and turn it on! When you want to change the scent, pour the liquid Scentsy wax from the warmer lid into the original container (you can reuse the wax over and over until the scent is all gone) then just wipe the dish with a paper towel and put in a new cube of Scentsy wax. It’s safe to leave your warmer on 24/7 or switch on and off as you desire. Scentsy has 80+ long lasting, highly scented fragrances. You can mix and match the scents to design your own scent recipes. Scentsy currently offers over 50 beautifully hand crafted ceramic electric candle warmers which come in 3 sizes: Scentsy Plug-In, Scentsy Mid-Size, Scentsy Full-Size. Scentsy also offers room sprays, Travel Tins and Car Candles (air fresheners).

Scentsy puts safety first. The candle warmers are flameless so there’s no flame hazard, no smoke in the air, no lead, and no soot on the warmer, on your walls or in your lungs. Plus, the scents will fill your house with a "scents"ational aroma!

Scentsy wax won’t burn away (putting dangerous chemicals into the air) like regular candles. The low watt Scentsy light bulb is warm enough to melt the wax but not hot enough to burn you or any curious kids or pets, should they touch it. The candle warmer wax gets just above body temperature.

Scentsy candle warmers were created by two Mom’s who were looking for a safe alternative to candles. They did what most of us dream about, they came up with an idea that is now a multi-million dollar business!

Ok, so I guess this is a start

I have always wanted to help others and I guess now is my chance. Don't judge my writing skills, I am not so good with proper sentences, commas, or run ons. My old english teacher would pull her hair out reading this. I also know my husband will never read this either. Our holiday newsletter alone drives him crazy and that is one time a year. So this weekend was a busy one. Our water heater managed to go out at 5:00 pm isn't that when it always happens. My husband was not yet home from a trip and a babysitter was no where to be found to watch the kids so I could run and get a water heater.  So when he finally got hom I ran up to get the water heater. Thinking to myself what did I just get myself into and why not just pay a plumber. This is the thing I hate paying for services I think I can do or I can call my dad and he can walk me through.
A little back ground on why I would even think of tackling the job of water heater replacement.  I was raised the daughter of a navy man that between him being very hand and crafty, he was at sea off and on unitl until I was the age of three.  He was sub sailor. So I either have it ingrained that my mom was very independent or it is part of my gene pool or both. I was born the middle child with only my older brother Tom and my younger brother David at home. So in order to have daddy time I had to get my hands dirty. I also was pretty smart. I have been told many stories of when I was three taking all the screws out of the lights of my dads boat. So maybe it is in my blood. I  loved fixing things and was very handy all that I can remember.
Ok, back to the water heater. I of course have very little tools funny after last months changing out the dishwasher last month I realized I am going to have to borrow the right equipement. Oh I didn't tell you that I have bunny ears and a nose on my dodge grand caravan. SO picking up the water heater is pretty funny. Anyways borrowed a pipe cutter, pliers, and  nice big plumbing wrench from my wonderful neighbors across the way. He is a pipefitter that had to be at work early and wouldn't get home until that afternoon and I needed hot water for my nasty kids. I finished the job at 11:30 pm, after cutting pipe sodering it and hooking back the gas line. I still laugh in amazement. I am hoping thats the last of the home repairs for a while. I do have to fix my hillbilly spa tub, but thats not urgent.
I call it the hillbilly tub because in order to get the jets working I have to blow into the tube instead of pushing the on button. The kids broke it. It kinda takes the relaxation out of it.
