Tip of the Week: Sparkling Dishes
June 19, 2006
Don’t you love spending your day waiting on a repairman? I usually get the 8:00 a.m. – noon window and then he’ll show up about 1:30 p.m. therefore wasting my entire morning. But, this time it was actually worth the wait because Mr. Dishwasher Repairman gave me an excellent tip that is now my first Tip of the Week to the SharpMoms.
My problem: lots of soapy residue in the dishwasher leaving my glassware very cloudy and my flatware full of rainbow spots. It was really becoming upsetting and I was beginning to think I’d have to purchase new glassware/flatware because even hand scrubbing would not remove the damage. But, my world is clear now due to one new dishwasher pump (poor spinning was leaving a lot of soap behind) and Mr. Dishwasher Repairman’s tip: Lemi Shine.
He told me I’d find Lemi Shine at Wal-Mart and that it would make everything like new, undoing the damage cause by the previous pump. I was skeptical, but this stuff works like magic. And, I mean magic! I am blinded by the shine. And, that was all with one tablespoon. Check it out. It really works!
Beachside Book Review #1
June 14, 2006
I just finished The Wedding, by one of my favorite authors, Nicholas Sparks. The book came out a couple of years ago, but I just got around to reading it. It’s a sequel to The Notebook, which you may have read or seen at the theatre.
The Wedding, centers around the daughter and son-in-law of Noah Calhoun from The Notebook. It’s a really touching, sweet, romantic story written from the husband’s point-of-view. Definitely an easy summer read.
Now, if only I could get my husband to read it and take some notes! Romantic husband? I like it!
