I have a new obsession…. life hacks! What exactly is a life hack, you ask?
These are the tips you read on line and you hit your hand on your head and say “OMG, SO smart!…. How did I not know that??”
There are THOUSANDS of life hacks out there! There are hundreds of websites with tons of life hacks. However, I have sifted through these sites and am sharing some of my favorites. I have found the best site for life hacks to be 1000lifehacks.com, (although they are well over 1000 now!)
Wash kids Legos in mesh bag from Gettinby – I am SO excited about this! I hate washing legos, but they get totally yucky dirty! This will make cleaning them super easy! Goes right along with my OCD!!
Cut ice cream with a knife when serving to a crowd from Real Simple – I HATE scooping ice cream at my kids birthday party! I started using ice cream cups, but my kids don’t really like them… they like the “fun” ice cream! This is a great way to get your cake and eat it too (ha, ha, ha!!)

Are you are home organizing freak like me? If yes, check out some of my other home organizing tips!
When I unpack my groceries, I always leave the celery, radishes and carrots out in the counter. I cut the celery bottom and top off and then cut it in half. Wash under cold water and store in a large plastic container.
I do the same procedure for the radishes.
I peel and cut the carrots and place them a container of water.
All of the vegetables are placed in the refrigerator.
So easy for kids to get a snack and this really does save time when I make salad for lunch or dinner.
The veggies are always crispy and have lots of crunch.
Change the water every other day.
