Today's Tips:

If you burn yourself on a regular basis while cooking, keep a bottle of aloe or burn ointment in the kitchen. If you have limited space in your bathroom, think about keeping your first aid supplies in the kitchen (Things like band aids, ointments, tweezers etc.). Most of the time when someone gets hurt mom is in the kitchen or some place other than the bathroom, so it is handier to have first aid supplies close.

Note: Be sure that you keep medications where they won't fall in the sink if you knock them over.

Anyone who works in an office knows the best way to get a good start on the next day is to leave your desk clear that evening before you go home. The same goes at home. If you want a good start to your day, make sure your kitchen sink is empty, the counters are clear and the table is cleared off and wiped.
