MABEL’S WISDOM
Shiny Shoes Grandma's Way
When I was growing up, we didn't have fancy shoe polish from the store; we made do with what we had at home. To get your leather shoes looking spiffy, mix up a simple paste:
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Rub the mixture onto your shoes with a soft cloth, then buff them until they shine. This little trick has kept many a pair of shoes looking sharp through the years.
Remember, Granny Mabel knows best!
PLANTS & GARDEN
Indoor plants can transform any space into a serene oasis and are easier to care for than you might think. We once heard about a friend who swore her fern grew better with a bit of music, proving that even plants enjoy a good tune!
FOOD
We know the magic of cornstarch in our kitchens, but did you know potato starch can step in like a culinary understudy? Discover how this versatile ingredient can save the day!
FUN FACT
From Health Food to Household Hero
Peanut butter wasn't just a tasty treat—it was a health revolution! Dr. Kellogg's creation in 1895 was initially intended as a meat substitute for people who needed a protein boost. Fast-forward to today , and it's a beloved snack for kids and adults alike. It's incredible how a simple idea can become a household hero! |  |
