Thank you cards, old fashioned?

I was reminded today of one of my favorite things as I went to the mailbox today, a proper thank you card. You know the kind of thank you card when you KNOW the person is grateful. The kind of thank you card when you know they took a couple of minutes out of their busy day to stop to THANK you!
I get so tired of receiving the generic thanks, i.e. thank you for the "fill in the blank" I know we will get great use out the "fill in the blank". thank you again, generic person.
My sister, who has a newborn and a five year old took the time to thank me. If she can do it, the next time someone does something nice for you, please stop to properly thank them. Express your thanks...with WORDS...
In this world of e-mails and text messages get a pen and paper out and write!

Baking Soda and Vinegar better than Drano?

Who out there loves a bargain?! Who loves to protect the Earth? Well, I do and I would love to tell you how to do it in an "itty bitty" way!!
Let me explain...I've known about this for awhile and have used it several times but was reminded of it when Kamryn's bathtub had a slow drain problem...for the second time in her 3 years! What is going on with that? She's three how much hair could she shed? Well, apparently a bunch!!
Let me tell you how to use baking soda and vinegar to unclog a drain!!!
First, you pour baking soda down the drain. Secondly, you pour vinegar down the drain. Repeat as long as there is still a drain problem....It's that easy!!!
There's two benefits to this, first it's so much cheaper than the normal drain cleaner secondly it's a lot healthier for the environment and if it's good for the environment guess what? It's safe for your child!!!

I hope this helps...

I know I still haven't updated you all on Kamryn's birthday party (2 months ago! LOL!) and vacation bible school and oh, yeah I have a new nephew, Carter Grey was born 07-08-09!!! We have had a BUSY summer so far! I hope you all are having a great one too!!!
