Mom Tips

From Family Fun Magazine, April 2008 - scoop ice cream into baking cups (cupcake liners) and place them on a cookie sheet into the freezer.  At cake time, pull out the sheet and place one treat on each plate!

How about another recipe for a body scrub? This one, for your hands.  I don't know about you, but I love hand scrubs.  This is a Citrus Hand Scrub and because it must be used immediately, would not be ideal for gifts.  You'll have to pamper yourself.

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup sunflower oil
A few drops of your favorite essential oil
1/2 a lime or lemon

In a small bowl, mix the sugar, sunflower oil and an essential oil. Squeeze the lemon or lime juice into the mixture right before you're ready to use. This is because citrus, if left too long, will melt the sugar crystals. Stir, then rub mixture onto hands and feet, paying close attention to dry spots.  Rinse, follow with moisturizer.
