TRIED & TRUE â—½ TIPS
Last Month's Learning
by Marcy Lytle
Every month, so much to learn and share. This month is no exception. We live and learn, we share and grow…that’s how it works!
​
Have you heard of the word “rabble” used in the bible? It’s a rowdy unruly set of people…most likely the constant complainers in the group in the wilderness. I don’t want to be part of the rabble!
​
I found two of the cutest necklaces on Amazon that would make great gifts or a treat for yourself! An initial necklace and a layering one!
​
If you have any etched glass trays from your mom or grandmother, use them for plant trays and set next to a window – the light makes pretty colors!
​
Did you know that old trains rang bells? I thought they only had whistles!
​
We’ve shared this before, but it’s worth sharing again. Auntie Anne’s frozen pretzels cooked, and then used as a base for charcuterie!
​
When’s the last time you bought new sleeping pillows? We found some really nice ones on Amazon by COOP – we love them.
If you’re planning to visit small towns on weekend trips, take cash. We recently found a restaurant that won’t take credit cards!
​
Hash brown sticks in the frozen section – they’re delicious!
​
Try pressing your cookie dough on the back of a muffin tin before you bake to make cookie cups for ice cream! (Don’t put too much or it will run down into the oven – yes I did this.)
​
Before the summer is over, go to an outdoor concert or symphony and pack a supper. So fun.
​
When is the last time you had a peanut buster parfait from DQ? Get one and call it dinner.
Beyond Paradise on Britbox is a fun watch…he’s a clumsy but brilliant cop and she just opened her first café…and they live on a boat!
​
A good and easy end of the summer stovetop potpourri – 1 can pineapple juice (small), 6-7 slices of citrus (orange/lemons) and 1 T coconut extract, with water – simmer and enjoy.
​
Target always has cute organizers in the dollar spot, for kitchen or bathroom cabinets – have you tried them?
​
Just tried Essence Lash Princess mascara – it’s a great for lengthening and thickening.
​
Watching so many British shows, we learn new words. Skint – it means penniless or lacking funds – I didn’t know that!
