Never Leave A Pillar Candle Unattended--And Other Helpful Household Hints
In just a few
days, the eldest daughter of a dear friend of mine will pledge her
troth. This young woman to precious to me and I know that she will be the most
wonderful of wives. She has received much advice and wisdom, some
solicited, and some--not so much. However, there are those things that
only experience can teach as you find yourself employed in the role of
domestic goddess. Bits of wisdom from those "a-ha" moments that should
and must be preserved for future generations.
I have started a
list--and would love for you to offer any insights, helpful hints, or wisdom that falls into the "if only someone had told me this" category. I fully intend to pass along the list--and if you are so inclined, stories
that support the advice given, are deeply appreciated!
1. Empty the bottom row of your dishwasher first; then, if any water has
accumulated on the dishes in the top row, it won't slosh off onto your
once-dry dishes.
2. Never leave a pillar candle unattended.
3. Know how to use your fire extinguisher before you actually need to use it.
(Yes, there is a story behind numbers 2 and 3. And, yes, our house is still standing.)
