Local Pretzel Recall

 National Pretzel Company of Lancaster is voluntarily recalling all Honey Mustard Onion flavored pretzels produced since December, 2009 because an ingredient used in the seasoning has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella

save time & still look fab!
tips to help you find a little more "me" time:

 1. Dinner doesn't have to eat up (pun intended) a lot of time. Between slow cookers and delicious 30-minute meal recipes, dinner can be ready in 40 minutes or less.

2. While your food is cooking, wash some of the dishes you used during preparation and set the table.

3. Have your family help you get dinner ready. It's a great opportunity to get something done AND catch up.

4. While you're making dinner, have your kids do their homework at the dinner table. That way you'll be available for quick questions.

5. When you're on the phone catching up with friends or family, clean the kitchen. It's amazing what you can accomplish during a conversation.

6. Use your toaster oven more and your regular oven less. Many toaster ovens come with a baking or convection feature. Use it as much as you possibly can. Not only will you save on your electric bill but the toaster oven is much easier to clean.

7. Limit after school activities. Yes childhood is a time to try many different things---just not all at once! Limiting extracurricular involvements will reduce the stress level in the family; allow kids plenty of time for homework and sleeping and help you keep your sanity.

8. Create a box or tote bag for yourself stuffed with magazines you want to read, notes you want to write, bills you have to pay, grocery lists you want to make, coupons you want to go through, etc. Take this with you whenever you drive your kids to their activities. While you're waiting for them, get out your box and keep yourself productive in the meantime.

9. Determine a laundry schedule that works for you and stick to it. The nice thing about laundry is that you can put a load in and then go do something else.

10. Make your house LOOK clean, even when it is not.

a. Keep it clear of clutter. When a home is clutter free it looks cleaner, even if the dust is piled up.


b. Insist that beds be made every morning. It really only takes a minute.


c. Don't let dishes pile up in the kitchen sink. Put them in the dishwasher. If they're not dishwasher safe, store them in there until you have time to wash them.

d. Don't allow clothes to be thrown around the room or piled up. If they're dirty, they go in the hamper. Otherwise hang them up or put them away.

e. Room most items from the bathroom counter tops. If something MUST sit out, purchase an attractive container to store it in.
