With a month left until moving day, I have been thinking a lot about packing up and cleaning up. Yesterday after some yard work I sat down to relax and with just the basic channels there really wasn't much on to keep me entertained and awake. Just as I was about to doze off this show on KBYU called Hayley's hints came on. It was great! Hayley, who is a man, showed viewers how to remove horrible burn stains from oven burner rings, casserole dishes and oven windows, just make a thin paste out of white vinegar and cream of tartar. It was amazing, I thought about the hours I have spent scrubbing those burnt on marks that are so impossible I have accepted them as part of the pan or oven. He then showed a storage trick as he used his own vacuum and garbage bags to vacuum pack pillows, I got so excited to try it out. This afternoon I pulled out our huge giant quilt to vacuum pack it. It didn't work because the quilt wouldn't fit in the bag enough for me to hold the bag closed around the vacuum. However I did use some of my recently put on pounds to lay on the bag, roll on the bag and wrestle the bag to get all of the air out! It was amazing! The quilt is so small now! I am going to vacuum pack or make shift vacuum pack everything! (almost)! It is very fun! I was very grateful for some of Hayley's Hints, but sad that I can't afford to make the $120 donation to KBYU to get the books. But then I looked on Amazon and you can get the books for way cheap! I am going to have all the hints to do EVERYTHING! Watch out world!

LINDSEY!! You are moving to San Antonio?? I really wish this was a joke and am totally bummed we didn't get the girls all together before it happened. Well promise you'll come back and we'll do it...until then, let's keep in touch via blogs!
All right! You can be, like, Hayley Jr. Or something. Thanks for the tip on the stove burners, I'm always struggling to get those clean. Can't wait to try Hayley's magic trick!
Lindsey, I did the same thing! I watched it the same day for the first time. I vacuum packed all of our kids clothes and learned how to remove permanent marker off our counter with baking soda. I'm totally buying the books. Your post made me smile. Good luck with moving.
