Hi Rena,
I’m going to say no because I don’t know, and I’d hate to see anything accidentally damaged. I’m sorry for not being of more help!

Hey!
Thanks for the info… I was wondering if you would you clean silver with turquoise or lapis with this method ?
Thanks

I also have a very easy way to clean silver. It is almost the same as this method but use baking soda and hot water. Basically the method is the same. I did this to clean a very old, very tarnished – almost black! – teapot that had all kinds of nooks and crannies on it due to the intricate pattern. I placed it in a bucket and kept at it until it was super shiney! So much nicer than using the polish creams and less elbow grease too!

Love the salt idea, will try that next time.

Hi Nicole,
you’re not ignorant! yes, all of the crockpot recipes are completely gluten free. I have listed brand names and swap-outs in every recipe, since some of my readers don’t need to be on a gluten free diet.

best of luck to you and your son, I promise it will get easier after a few weeks. lots of hugs.

Forgive my ignorance here, but I happened to stumble upon your website. All of the recipes posted in the crockpot section are gluten free? I am just started this change as my son’s doctors and psychologist suggested a gluten free diet for my son to see if it helps with his ADHD. Thanks.

What a wonderful idea!

I saw another interesting check-list idea for kids on Pintrest. Basically you make a paper place-mat with a list of things to do in the morning (eat breakfast, brush teeth, feed pet, make bed, pack back-pack, etc.) then have it laminated. You can also make lists on the other side for afternoon/evening. (homework, set table, put away dishes, bath, brush teeth, etc.) Easy & fun to personalize for each kid, if you have more than one.

No pine sol, no Lysol, no windex !!!!! Moth balls are extremely toxic to kids and critters.
Simmer some cloves and cinnamon on the stove for a few minutes or burn a candle, or open the window

This is such an awesome idea! I wish I had thought of this 10 years ago when my kids were little and had chores!
