Sun Burn

by Heather on May 31, 2009

Every year the first time I am out in the sun for an extended amount of time I burn. Yesterday was no exception. I went with my mom and dad to Dog Alley in Minnesota to try to sell some Yorkie pups. I forgot my sunscreen not that it ever helps much. I love the sun but I don’t love being out in the sun for long. I have rather fair skin and it burns quite fast. Here are a couple pictures of my arms. I wouldn’t dare show you my face which means I may hide in the house for a couple days. I had on my big sunglasses and now look like a racoon which gives my dad a huge laugh.

Most people I know use Aloe Vera on their sunburn but I would like to share my tip with you instead. I use Vitamin E oil. It is sold in the pharmacy area near the vitamin E but it is in oil form not capsules. It has a consistency of baby oil and has a great soothing effect. Vitamin E is a natural skin healer. A little oil goes a long way and this tends to be a cheap treatment.

Fridge Update

by Heather on May 27, 2009

I am pleased that my time spent researching why my fridge may have been leaking yesterday was a success. The fridge no longer leaks. As an added bonus my freezer is also quite clean and organized now. Google search is a wonderful thing. Don’t be afraid to be frugal and google a solution to a pesky problem. I am sure a call to the appliance repairman would have cost me at least $100 but google was absolutely free!

My Fridge Is Leaking

by Heather on May 26, 2009

Today I became fed up with my leaking fridge and decided to find the solution. I have this on and off drip coming from the freezer into the fridge. The bottom of my egg cartons were wet today and that was the end of my patience. Off and hunting the internet I went. I found several websites talking about the drain in the freezer that runs to the drip tray under the fridge being frozen. I unsecured the tray at the bottom of the freezer and sure enough I had a sheet of 1/4″ thick ice covering the entire bottom of the freezer. The drain is a tube which is frozen solid with ice as well. I removed the sheet of ice but in order to thaw the tube the fridge needs to be turned off over night. Tomorrow I will update you on the progress of thawing the drain.

Routine To Me

May 15, 2009

I was cleaning today and doing some laundry when one of the boys asked why I was putting the sheets in a pillowcase. I thought I would share my storage system for bed linens. First I fold the flat, fitted sheets and the second pillowcase if there is one. Then I store them in the [...]
