[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 375662, member: 1233"] I haven't read the other responses, so forgive me if I repeat something someone has said. She needs to check into flylady.com . It is an amazing site to help you with housework in an effective, efficient way. For other cleaning tips have her get almost any book by Don Aslet (last name may be spelled wrong but is pronounced the way I wrote it). He has written a LOT of books about cleaning houses and runs a cleaning service that is incredibly successful. He recommends using professional tools to get the job done well and fast. She should also check out recipezaar.com - esp searching for OAMC recipes. OAMC stands for once a month cooking and are recipes that are easy to do, and make enough that she can freeze at least one meal worth and serve one meal worth. I have found recipezaar.com to be a very comprehensive recipe site with about any recipe I ever have looked for. If she only has the freezer that is on her refrigerator she needs to find a way to have another freezer. It will allow her to buy meat in bulk on sale, as well as cheese and frozen veggies. She will also be able to freeze entire meals, making it much easier to plan her menus and time. Craigslist, freecycle and garage sales are great ways to find cheap freezers. If it doesn't have a lock it needs to be in a room she can lock so the baby cannot get into when he is older. husband bought a freezer for me for the first Christmas after we got married. I insisted on an upright instead of a chest freezer. I could just see me trying to get something from the bottom of the freezer and falling in and getting stuck in there with my legs sticking out!!! Talk about trying to avoid something strange - we actually got it in October before Wiz was born. The salesman had the oddest look when I said that until he finally had to bust out laughing!
