Bottoms up salad bowl
If you are like me you take lunch to work everyday and a nice tupperware bowl of salad is in one hand and a huge bottle of your favorite dressing in the other. Eliminate the clutter by pouring your salad dressing in the bottom of the tupperware bowl first and then dump your salad in on top. Your salad stays crisp because it carries more weight than the dressing. When it is time for lunch just shake it up or mix it with the fork. | | | | | | Pamela in Baton Rouge, LA | Tips Published: 2

Penny savers
Test yourself with a "shock-week" to see how little money you really need to get by. It's disturbing to see how much money we virtualy throw out our windows by buying things we don't need, food we don't eat etc.. It's an eye-opener!
If you are in walking distance to work or your local store, try walking istead of taking the car. It's relaxing and good for you! | | | | | | Toril in Ridabu, | Tips Published: 10

Medicine tracker on mirror
When your little one is ill, use your bathroom mirror to keep a record of fevers and medicines admininstered. Simply use a dry-erase marker to record time and dosage of each medicine as well as temperature readings. This helps improve communications among all those caring for the child and is handy when calling the pediatrician. There is plenty of writing space and the marker washes off easily. | | | | | | Kari in San Ramon, CA | Tips Published: 1

Start a new gratitude box tradition
Take a shoe box and let your kids decorate it. Use lots of glitter, stickers, etc. Cut a hole in the top. Then, whenever you (or the kids) see someone doing something that you are grateful for write it down and put it in the box. At Thanksgiving read all of the notes. It makes for a really neat way to celebrate Thanksgiving! | | | | | | Megan in McKinney, TX | Tips Published: 3

Reward system for older children
Create your own family money and give the child an old check book with a register (or make your own). For good behavior give them family money that they can deposit into a "bank". Teach your child to write checks and manage their own "money". Put prices on extra television time, going to the movies, or other special treats. Educational and encourages responsibility. Deduct money for bad behavior. | | | | | | Lori in Gatlinburg, TN | Tips Published: 12

Never stop learning
The world is constantly changing, and everybody is looking for new ways of doing business.
If you have decided that your current skills are good enough, you have also decided that your current job is good enough.
But if you want a career in the future, you should add regular updates to your skills and knowledge. | | | | | | Ravi Kiran in Narasaraopet, | Tips Published: 23

How to pace your snacking during commute
I keep legal (i.e. healthy) snacks in the car for my one hour drive home everyday. I make my snack last by playing a game. I wait until the last 25 miles of the drive before I open the snack. I take a small bite, then a drink of water and continue alternating one bite and one drink every mile. By the time I'm home, I am satisfied enough to prepare supper and not be too hungry while I'm cooking. | | | | | | Anonymous
