Welcome to this week’s edition of Works-For-Me-Wednesday. Swing by Shannon’s blog for more lovely ideas for you & your family! It is something that I know I look forward to every week because I get so many great ideas!
This week my husband is on vacation so we have been enjoying a few day trips to the beach & such. Now if there is one thing that I hate about the beach, it is all of that sand- in the car, in our toes, on our backs, in our hair. Usually there is sand everywhere and it can make for a very uncomfortable ride home.
This time I packed the miracle cure for sanditis- a container of baby powder. Just sprinkle it wherever you have sand and it will instantly just disappear off of you. Not only does it remove the sand, but it also leaves everyone smelling as sweet as a baby!
Keep some in your car or by the door and give your kids a sprinkle after they are done playing in the sand box. No more sand trailed through the house- that definitely Works For Me!
Here are a few other links to some of my past ideas-Giving the Gift of Magazines (Frugally) Solution for Cheap Trash Bags Programming Your Cell Phone Free Up Pantry Space: Make a Snack Weeding Through Your Child’s Art Work Creatively Using the Coffee Maker With Ease Making Your Spice Rack Usable Maximizing Space

I had no idea! I wish we had beaches here in NM…maybe if we ever get out to California to visit Mickey.

I’m thinking this might also work for desert sand and sandbox sand, too?
Helpful tip!

Hé Cool Dudette!
Thanks for visiting over at mine!
That is a brilliant tip! We live near the beach and go for a walk there on a very regular basis.
I think Mr. Johnson will have to come along next time.

What a great idea!
I was just playing in the sandbox with my 18 month old son yesterday and frantically trying to brush the sand off of his feet before re-entering the house. I’ll have to try your idea!

Nope, I can’t claim the picture. If you click on the picture, it will take you to that person’s photos. I just loved the sweet little feet in the sand. It is a great photo, isn’t it?

Blessings!!
