TGIF

I was fortunate enough to receive an email the other day from my mother-in-law that contained very useful information-the many uses for WD-40. I always thought this product was a "man potion" only to be used for automobile projects and fixing rusty lawnmowers, but I read the list of uses that WD-40 can serve around the house and was blown away by the practical 40+ purposes this amazing "man potion" has to offer. I am no longer a skeptic about forwarded emails from my MIL and I have a newfound respect for some of the items my husband hides in his tool shed.

For this Friday's TGIF I am going to share the list of WD-40's many uses with you in the hopes that you too will find a place for this fish oil based product in your house-well, okay, maybe the garage at least. You will not be disappointed with these tips.

Stay tuned for Recommendations Wednesdays and TGIF's every week. As my list of useful tips, tricks, recommendations and hints grows I hope that your motivation, education and preparation for parenthood continues to expand and flourish.
