Ten Time Saving Tips for Holiday Entertaining

December 16, 2010 by 3 Comments

10 Time Saving Tips for Holiday Entertaining

Here are my top ten time saving tips for holiday entertaining.  I hope they will help you save time and make your holidays more enjoyable!

10.) Set your table the day before your party.  This is a huge time saver and you’ll now have more time to get ready and relax yourself.  Remember it’s you that ultimately sets the mood for your party.

9.) Avoid making multiple last-minute grocery trips by stocking up on cooking and baking ingredients early.

8.) Make ahead meals are great for holiday parties.  There is less mess involved for clean up and you won’t be stuck in the kitchen cooking during the party.

7.) Buy a pie instead of making one.  I know some of you are gasping at this but Mrs. Smith’s pies are hard to beat (and a LOT quicker)!

6.) With a little creativity you can mix homemade and store-bought foods to save a ton of time.

5.) Assign a teen or tween to the door to greet and gather coats as they come.  Have them take the coats to a pre-cleaned out closet or to lay gently on a bed.

4.) Let guests who want to help do so.  They will feel good that they could contribute and that is one less side dish or dessert that you’ll have to fix.

3.) The night before the party lay out each serving dish with it’s appropriate utensils and label what does in it.  The labels will be a great asset to your party volunteers and will allow you to focus on more important things.

2.) Clear dishes and load them in the dishwasher as you go.  This will save you from an enormous pile later on.

1.) Avoid the late night gift wrapping crunch by wrapping gifts soon after you buy them.  If you don’t have time to immediately decorate the packages with ribbon and bows label the gifts with sticky notes.

Do you have any time saving tips that you swear by?

Save Time and Money with Bank of America – Giveaway!

December 16, 2010 by 477 Comments

My husband and I are always questioning whether something is worth our time or not.  Sometimes we would rather pay a little more to avoid the hassle of wasting our time.  Time has value and it’s important to figure out what it’s worth to you.  Family time is more important than saving a few dollars, am I right?

Time Saving Tips for the Holidays:

– Set your table the day before your party.  This is a huge time saver and you’ll now have more time to get ready and relax yourself.  Remember it’s you that ultimately sets the mood for your party.

– Make ahead meals are great for holiday parties.  There is less mess involved for clean up and you won’t be stuck in the kitchen cooking during the party.

– Buy a pie instead of making one.  I know some of you are gasping at this but Mrs. Smith’s pies are hard to beat (and a LOT quicker)!

Check our the rest of our Time Saving Tips for Holiday Entertaining.

Bank of America

Time Saving Tips for Banking:

Bank on the go: It’s easy to set up mobile banking and secure access to your money wherever you are. Download the mobile banking app and you can check balances, transfer money, pay bills, and locate ATMs.  Sign up for text banking and you’ll be able to send a text message to get your balance instantly in a reply.

Make quick and easy deposits: Holiday means a lot of extra work, so eliminate the labor of depositing checks.  With Bank of America’s Deposit Image ATMs, you simply feed checks or cash into the ATM with no envelopes or deposit slips required.  You get images of your checks and a list of cash deposited on your receipt as proof. This is one of my favorite perks from Bank of America!

Save a trip to the bank: Don’t worry about making an extra stop to the bank during all of your holiday shopping.  Keep track of your spending by using Bank of America’s online banking: set up alerts, check balances, and transfer money.

We do as much banking online as we can.  All our of bills are paid electronically so we only buy stamps to send birthday and Christmas cards.

How often should I clean this?

December 15, 2010 by 2 Comments

How Often Should I Clean This

Do you ever wonder how often you should clean something?  I sure have!  I researched the items I wondered most about and I’m here to share them with you.  I hope you’ll enjoy this list.  If there is anything you would like to add to just leave me a message in the comments section.

Wash bath towels twice a week.

Loofahs should be washed once a week either in 1) the washing machine, 2) the dishwasher, or 3) two parts water to one part vinegar.  Once the loofah has been washed it’s important to dry it with either a hair dryer or in your clothes dryer.

Cell phones should be cleaned daily.  Researchers say that there are more germs on the average cell phone than on a public toilet seat.  Cell phones are close to your eyes, your mouth, and 30% of viruses can transfer in your body from your fingers.  Swipe your phone daily with an antibacterial wipe.

Wash your powder make up brushes four or five times a week in hot water with a dab of baby shampoo, rinse thoroughly, and lay flat to dry.  I recommend washing them AT LEAST once a week (Saturdays are my brush cleaning day of choice).  If you have a brush you use for liquid foundation wash it daily after use, following the instructions above.

Drip filter coffee makers should be cleaned monthly to remove hard water deposits, leftover coffee oils, and other impurities.  Follow these steps for a clean coffee maker:

  • – Put a filter into the filter basket as you normally would, pour an entire jar of white vinegar into the pour spot where you usually pour the water and turn the coffee maker “on.”
  • – Once all the vinegar drops down into the coffee pot, discard it down your sink drain (it will deodorize your sink!).
  • – Run two full pots of water through to make sure you flush out all traces of vinegar.
  • – Wash the coffee carafe (glass container) inside and out with hot soapy water.
  • – If you have stains or burned coffee spots on the carafe, pour some table salt on them and let them stand for at least an hour or overnight.
  • – Check the coffee equipment to see if the smell of vinegar persists and if it does, run more water through the coffee maker.

Clean your humidifier every week to prevent mold and bacteria growth.  Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to clean your specific brand and model.

You should vacuum once or twice a week.  For best results, slowly move the vacuum over the carpet several times.
