Easy Grill Cleaning

We have a little grill that we use all of the time.  Here is a trick that I use to clean it in a matter of a couple of minutes.

I make a ball of aluminum foil.

 Then I rub/scrub the grill with the aluminum foil.  I do it on both sides of the grill.  I position the grill in the sink so all of the gunk that comes off lands in there and I can scoop it up easily with the drain plug.

In a matter of a couple of minutes the grill looked like this. 

Teacher's Gift

Here are the gifts that I put together for my daughters teacher's this year as well as a couple of smaller ones for some of the other people that work in the school.

I picked up the baskets at the dollar store, they are two for a $1.  Then I put two of the jars of sugar scrub and a couple of balloons filled with playdough in the baskets.  The balloons are suppose to be those relaxers that you have tons of fun squeezing (at least I do.)  Then I wrapped them up in tissue paper added the tag and there you go!

The smaller gifts are very similar.

They are a jar and a balloon wrapped up in tissue paper.

These were really simple and easy to make.  They were inexpensive less than $10 for all of them if you are really tight on a budget like we are.

Homemade Sugar Scrubs

I didn't realize how easy it was to make these.  I'll show you later this week what I made them for but meanwhile it was one of the easiest things I have done.  I used these directions.
