I started coming by lots of great little tips, tidbits and random ideas. I had no idea where to put these special little pins so the "Good To Know Tips" board was born!!
Check out some of the things I've found on Pinterest that will hopefully make my life easier one day!
Dry up grease stains with white chalk before putting into laundry
Mess saving trick for painting
Painting a doorknob
Idea for filling up a bucket too big for the sink
Covering up dings in wood furniture with a walnut
Prevent sweat stains on white clothing with baby powder
Soda can top as a picture hanger
How to clean your mattress
Removing sticky labels with a hairdryer
Keeping brown sugar soft with marshmallows
Cleaning your microwave with vineager
Lots of these tips came from Real Simple's website...that website is also heaven!
Question: Do you have any tips you live by? The best way to dust mini blinds? Family secrets on making a zero calorie chocolate cake? Do share!

This just might be the most useful post that I have seen all week!! I love little tips and tricks like this! Especially the chalk one..who knew? I am so trying that
Thanks for stopping by our blog! I love all these "good to know" tips...they will definitely come in handy I'm sure. Real Simple is the best!
love those ideas i keep wanting to try the walnut one for wood scratches hmm...
Whoa some of these ate genius! I try to stay away from pinterest bc I spend waaaay too much time on there. I have wedding ideas and I'm faaaaar from getting married.
I love your tips!
I love little housekeeping tips! Happy Wednesday!
great pins!
These are great ideas!!
great post - and cool ideas
I really like the "filling up the bucket" one - but I would probably still get water all over the floor - ha ha ha
Another tip for the brown sugar is a slice of bread - it is what I have always done!, but the marshmallows might work better since they never seem to go bad :)
Oh, and I use baking soda and vinegar to clean everything (microwave, stove, sinks, bathtubs, etc.)- it is environmentally friendly & cheap!
wow, I just learned a lot! thanks for sharing those :)
what great tips you found in pinterest! i agree i am more into pinterest than facebook, sorry mark zuckerberg its true! love love all those tips!! thanks ruthie
hey girl! the marshmallow/brown sugar trick reminded me of one of my mom's -- put a slice of bread in your cookie jar to keep the cookies from getting hard.
hope you're having a great day!!

aka. the loser who only updates my blog once a month now. lame.
ok. holy smokes. i just went to your pinterest boards. you are obsessed!! and you better believe i'm going to follow now...
wow great tips! i just learned a thing or two!
Awesome, awesome tips, Ruthie! I might need to stockpile some of these...good thing I'm following you on Pinterest :)
These are all awesome (and new to me!) tips! The only one that I live by is vinegar on cramps. You know those horrible spasms you get in your legs, or at least I do, you put vinegar on a washcloth and put in on the cramp and it takes it away!
Wow! These are seriously fantastic! Best post today!!! :)
These are such great tips! I'm going to try a few. :)
I definitely tried the vinegar in the microwave thing and it worked so well!

These are great! The same thing was happening to me on Pinterest so I started my "Tips & Tricks" board. Great minds!
What did we all do before Pinterest??! Such a fabulous creation. Oh and the recipe for a zero calorie chocolate cake is: lots of butter, lots of flour, lots of chocolate, a few eggs...cook in oven at 350 for 30 minutes...remove and inhale the aroma...then throw it in the trash. Either that or just don't look at calories...surely it is zero calorie and fat free if we just don't look, right? Enjoy pinning!
These are genius!! If you find a way to make that 0 calorie chocolate cake, make sure you post it :)
So...I just came across your blog and holy crap that walnut trick is amazing! I am a pinterest addict and I'm glad that I'm not alone :)
These are such great tips! I've seen some of these too, and thought, "hey, why didn't I think of that?!" So handy though!
