1. Paper towels: "A great way to organize your home for less is to use paper towels to hold your bangles and bracelets. It's a great way to keep your accessories uncluttered."
2. Colander: "As a mom, an easy way to scoop all the bath toys during bath time is to use a colander."

I use small jar of Peter Pan peanut butter jars for my pencil holders, I love art so when I start painting I will also use them for paint brushes, can use them to wash out your paint brush. Also, been thinking of saving yogart cups for planting plants in next year. I use them to drink lemonae out of. We recycle everything possible, use those Maxwell House Coffee containers for putting Majick the Lab's dog food into to keep it fresh. I recycle kroger bags, for the line in trash bags, some of them I even recycle because after we burn cardboard and paper towels and articles such as that, I recycle them again. Sometimes I use them to shop at Aldi's kroger bags that have not had meat or eggs in it. Just some helpful tips, I hope helps others :) !!!! Kimberly

I was so disappointed to find that you had the RHONJ Teresa back so you could apologize for being rude. What I have respected about you is your willingness to take a side - the behavior of the people on all those RH shows is indeed childish, but somehow people will not say it, but I thought you would. And so you did, but then you apologise for being "rude" - a standard that you appear to hold dear, as do I, but I expect you to call a spade a spade - why not ask questions about what appears to be almost a requirement that reality stars behave in ways that are immature and unacceptable in the "real" world. How refreshing if someone with your stature would refuse to watch shows that promote uncivil behavior, but you let a few comments about rudeness drive your behavior forgetting all about those in the audience who approved your comment regarding TG - what are you 8.-and all of those at home that initially applauded your forthright comment - Anderson Live is not a news show and I am not seeking objectivity there, but I was hoping for some insight from you, but on the one hand you worry about being rude while on the other hand you appear to promote these shows that are all about rude behavior. Why not have a psychologist on with Teresa who can talk about family relations and confront some of these hurtful and ridiculous comments thse people make to each other, but no, you just joined right in. So disappointing.
