Benefits of Homeownership

“Studies indicate that those that live in a family-

owned home are more likely to be psychologically

and emotionally well-adjusted than those that do

not. They are more successful in social interactions

and more likely to succeed academically and over-

all.”

Household Hint (thekitchn.com)

How to Clean Stainless Steel Pots and Pans

Materials You Need Bar Keepers Friend Scrubbing pad (a Dobie pad or non-abrasive sponge is ideal to minimize scratches) Rubber gloves (optional, but recommended) Water

Instructions

• Pour a very small amount of water into the pot, then add a few generous shakes of Bar Keepers Friend.

• Mix the water and powder together. (My mixture was more watery, but you can use less water for more of a paste texture, too.)

• Using a sponge, spread the mixture up the sides and all around the pot.

• Now apply some vigorous elbow grease and scrub away at the stains! This could take you anywhere from 5 - 10 minutes. Add more Bar Keepers Friend to your sponge for determined stains.

• Repeat for the outside of the pot.

• Rinse and dry!

Easy Home Makeover Ideas – Spring Edition

When the warm weather moves in, it’s a great time to spring forward with an easy home makeover.

Put away the heavy blankets and dark colors. Bring in breezy fabrics and lighten everything up. Go room to room and see where you can make small updates – or big ones – to welcome in the new season. Here are just a few of our favorite easy home makeover ideas:

Living Room

Begin where you and your family spend the most time: your living room. You’ll find a lot of small changes you can make here, and it will set the tone for the rest of your house.

For a simple project that has a lot of impact, add a new slipcover to your couch in a lightweight fabric like twill or linen. You can easily match your home’s overall style while choosing complementary colors that are sunnier and lighter than what you had out during the colder months.

In addition, you can quickly update the look and feel of the room with new accent pillows. Switch out heavy or dark pillows for a selection in varying sizes with vibrant colors and lighter fabrics. Another option is to replace just the covers of your pillows; if you’re the crafty type, you can make them yourself with minimal effort—many of these types of projects don’t even require sewing.

Kitchen

In the kitchen, get ready for spring by doing a thorough cleaning of all countertops and appliances. Next, go through your pantry, setting aside items that your family doesn’t need so that you can donate them while discarding any-thing that has expired. Then reorganize what’s left so that it’s more accessible and visible, and make a list of what needs to be replaced the next time you go grocery shopping.

Dining Room

In the dining room, change out a heavy draped tablecloth for one in a lighter weight and color. Sweep or vacuum the entire room and dust all knickknacks and windowsills. You may also want to swap out dark-toned dishware or placemats for a set in springtime shades.

Closets

The new season also provides a great opportunity to reevaluate your wardrobe. Pull out your heavy clothing and store it in decorative baskets or http://www.howtodecorate.com. Sort through and donate or discard anything you haven’t worn and don’t plan to wear again. And bring all of your spring and summer clothes – your linens and cot-tons, shorts and sundresses – to the front of your closet so that you have easy access to them every time you open the door.

The rest of the house

Changing out a rug or two can be a great seasonal update for any room of your house. Put any heavy, dark-colored wool rugs in storage. Choose a replacement rug that is the right size for the room , and consider one with a natural weave in a neutral shade or a geometric design. The color and texture of your new rug will brighten up the entire room – and will feel great on bare feet. Reversible rugs can give you even more versatility.

Because the days are longer, take down curtains that kept the heat and light in for the winter and replace them with free-flowing fabrics in pastels or neutral tones that let the air and light move. If you want to give the room an entirely fresh new look, change out the curtain rods as well, bringing in lighter colors and designs.

Bring a bit of nature indoors by introducing spring plants to your décor throughout the house. Group a few small plants together on a bookshelf or on top of a mantel—or choose one large plant as a centerpiece for your table. Pick flowerpots or planters that work well with the rest of your accessories, and place them where your plants can receive the right amount of light. If you’re already thinking ahead to the summertime and lazy days spent at the

beach, accent your displays with pieces of sea glass or large shells.

Finally, change out any framed photos or artwork that you have around the house. If you have children’s drawings hanging up, request new pieces from your budding artists. If you have pictures of friends and family, give them an update with more current snapshots. Mix in some spring and summertime scenes. For inspiration, clip ideas for your next springtime vacation – an itinerary, plane tickets, or just a picture of where you’d love to go. These new images will help you shake off the winter blues and get ready to enjoy some well-deserved sunshine.

Savings Tip

s (www.moneyallocator.com)

Memorial Day Savings Tip #1 Check the tire pressure in your car tires to make sure they are all equally inflated to the proper amount. Fill your tank pre-weekend before the gas prices make their way even higher, using your discount card when filing up (i.e. Costco, Sam’s Club, etc.) Turn on that cruise control, you will save yourself the possibility of a ticket, but the con-sistent speed decreases the quick acceleration thus saving you valuable gas dollars. Finally, turn off the air condi-tioner and enjoy the fresh air outside. Memorial Day Savings Tip #2 Pack picnic lunches and snacks for the family instead of running through the drive thorough windows. This not only will be easier on your pocket but everyone will feel more energized and refreshed after eating healthier on Memorial Day. Try packing sandwiches on wholegrain bread or muffins, fresh fruit, sliced veggies and dip. For dessert freeze individual yogurts and top them off with granola, fruit, or nuts. Stock up on a variety of beverages for the cooler. Memorial Day Savings Tip #3 In planning for your Memorial weekend either away or in your own back yard limit credit card purchases to only those companies who offer cash back incentives on your purchases.

(The Simple Dollar)

Use the Peak-End Rule

The “peak-end” rule is a tactic that can not only maximize the value you get out of your vacations, but it can maxi-mize what you get out of almost anything in life. It pops up again and again in everyday life, from the plotting of movies and television shows to how meals are served at restaurants.

The idea behind the “peak-end” rule is that when you think back to a past event, you generally have the strongest recollections and feelings about two elements of that event: the “peak” and the “end.”

The “peak” is usually the moment where you had the strongest response (either positive or negative) to whatever is happening. For example, you might remember a trip where the “peak” was visiting a national park you’d always dreamed about.

The “end” is how you felt about how the trip concluded. For example, you might remember dinner on the final night of the trip or something else that occurred on your vacation.

Here’s an example. For me, the “peak” of our honeymoon in the United Kingdom was the afternoon we spent visit-ing Parliament and Westminster Abbey on foot. The “end” of our honeymoon was the final night, where we stayed in what amounted to a bed and breakfast far away from the city center.

When I think of the trip, those are the first two things I think about, and they’re the strongest memories. They’re both happy memories, too, so they fill the trip with a very positive sentiment when I look back.

So, how can you apply this idea to frugal travel planning?

The first – and most obvious – part is to simply carefully manage the “peak” and the “end” of your trip. Have one day that’s a home run – full of the experiences you’re sure you’re going to love. Save one or two wonderful things for the very end of the trip – a meal at a great restaurant, perhaps, or a final sight to see on your way home.

As your memories fade, those two events will be the ones you recall the best.

Then, fill the rest of the trip with low-cost activities. Visit free things to fill other days. Go about them at a slow pace so serendipity will strike.

It might occur that one of those ordinary days ends up being the “peak” – but if that happens, that’s a good thing. It means your vacation must have been an incredible one.

In our recent travels, we’ve mostly avoided higher-priced areas except to fulfill the “peak-end” rule. On our Seattle trip just last summer, our “peak” was the day spent in the city center with our kids – they still speak of going up to the top of the Space Needle and the various other things we did that day. Our “end” was my sister-in-law’s wedding. Those are the two things we recall the most from that trip – and most of the rest of the vacation was spent very frugally.

Use this concept when planning your travel and you will save money.

5 Tips to Prevent Falls

At Home: Bring on the Light

• Make sure every room has a light you can turn on by using a wall switch as you enter.

• Install grab bars on bathroom walls besides tubs, showers, and toilets.

• Keep a flashlight with fresh batteries near your bed.

And Away: Watch Your Step

• Check curb heights before crossing streets. Even a cutaway curb could cause a stum-ble.

• In public buildings, walk slowly on slippery marble. Stay on plastic or carpet runners whenever possible – step carefully over the edges.

BE GOOD TO YOUR HEALTH (SelectHealth Total Fitness)

Get Fit Ten Minutes at a Time

Getting in shape doesn’t require a big investment in time – especially if you break activities into ten-minute blocks spread throughout your day. Before you know it, you’re on your way to feeling better, having more en-ergy, and maintaining your health.

About those ten minutes

To achieve and maintain all-around fitness, you will need to engage in four basic activity:

Aerobic or endurance – Brisk walking, cycling and swimming are good choices. You’ll need at least 150 minutes of moderately intense activities a week.

Strengthening – Lifting weights or stretching resis-tance bands are two options. Aim to do at least one set (8 to 12 repetitions) of strengthening exercises on two or more days a week. Work all major muscle groups.

Balance – Standing from a seated position and walking backwards are two examples to increase your balance. Try to do these activities at least three days per week.

Flexibility – Move through some stretches when your muscles are warmed up.

Doing more than the minimum amounts can bring even more health benefits. Start slowly and build gradually.

One final tip for staying on the path to a healthier life: Choose activities you enjoy. That way, you’ll be moti-vated to keep them up – you might even look forward to your exercise breaks.
