Helpful Homemaking Tip of the Day

My helpful homemaking tip of the day is....drumroll...How to make your home smell of Holiday Goodness while vacuuming.

Step one: As a result of your children's insatiable taste for cinnamon toast you mix approximately 1 quart of cinnamon sugar and store it in a Tupperware container (on the highest shelf of the pantry).

Step two: While reaching for a bag of pretzels knock the completely full quart sized container of sugar out of the pantry and onto the kitchen floor

Step three: Curse uncontrollably as you watch the sugar cover every square inch of the floor and ooze under the refrigerator.

Step four: Apologize to your now-crying child.

Step five: Haul the vacuum upstairs and vacuum up the sugar (while cursing under your breath-this time).

Step six: Vacuum the house and enjoy the smell of burning cinnamon throughout the home.

Happy holidays from the anti-Martha.
