Tip #1–Dishwasher unloading

I HATE unloading the dishwasher.  With the fire of a thousand suns.  Almost more than I hate cleaning the bathrooms.  The other day I heard a tip to make it go a little faster and easier: group all like utensils together (forks together, knives together, etc) and put them head down in the basket.  That way, when you go to unload you just have to grab the group of handles, pull ‘em out and stick ‘em in the drawer!

Tip #2–Putting pants on a squirmy baby

I came up with this one out of necessity.  You all may have already figured this one out but I thought I’d share it anyway!  When Princess Tater Tot is particularly squirmy I will put one leg of her pants on, run my arm up through the bottom of the other pant leg and out the waistband, grab her little foot and pull it through.  Voila!  Legs in pants!  Any tips on getting diapers or tops on squirmy babies would be greatly appreciated…

Tip #3–Keeping the bathroom from molding over

I got this one from the Flylady.  This one is so that you don’t have to kill yourself cleaning the bathroom from head to toe one weekend a month (or a year if you hate cleaning it as much as I do!).  Instead, you swipe your mirrors, counters and faucets after you finish getting ready for the day and swish your toilet brush around the toilet bowl to get rid of any scummies collecting there.  It really helps and it only takes a minute!  Another Flylady tip is that vinegar sprayed on soap scum will eat it right up!

Feel free to share your own tips…
