Dear Abby er Nicole

Today's Topic:  Pass on some useful advice or information you learned and always remembered.
What I consider useful information: *When frosting a cake or cupcake, have a small cup of ice water nearby and before spreading your frosting on top of your cake/cupcake dip it into the ice water. This keeps the cake/cupcake from pulling off at the top. *Vinegar takes the sting out of sunburns. but it smells. *An apple a day keeps the doctor away. (I don't always have an apple, but I do eat fruit every day.) *Poke holes into a baked potato before you put it in the oven *If you lose the back of an earring, replace it with a pencil eraser. *Before cutting into either a butternut squash or a spaghetti squash, place it whole into the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes to soften. Then it's not so hard to cut. *If you love ranch dressing/dips, go out and get a couple of packages of just the seasoning. It makes for a quick meal on just about anything (add it to your hamburger meat before making patties, add it to cooked pasta, add it to chicken)!
My Words of Wisdom: *Listen *Be Present *Karma exists *Dance often. Dance badly. *Believe in something *Pray - I don't really care who it's to *Give everything a realistic perspective *"the perfect life" doesn't exist. Life takes work. and work is hard sometimes. *Sing loud *Get creative and be passionate about something other than your daily grind. *Unplug every once in a while. There's a reason that everything comes with an off switch - we should use it sometimes. *Cherish moments big and small, you never know what could happen next. *When you're having a hard day, find a kid to hang out with. Children are magic. Especially Mine! :)

Bathtub Crayons are so fun!
