What to do with extra school supplies?
The stores are still practically giving away school supplies this week. Here are 3 things you can do with the extra school supplies you bought.
- Donate them to a food pantry. Food pantries often give out school supplies this time of year.
- Donate them to a local school. Each year teachers spend hundreds of dollars of their own money to buy school supplies for their classrooms.
- Save them to put in a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child- coming in November.

Make your own daily shower cleaner
Homemade shower spray cleaner- I've made this before- it's pretty easy and it works ok (not spectacular but ok). Save an old spray bottle- rinse it out well.
1 c rubbing alcohol
1 c hydrogen peroxide
6 drops Dawn dish detergent
1 tsp Jet Dry
fill rest of bottle with water
you can also add a few drops of a scented oil- I like Tea Tree Oil
spray daily after each shower
