Do you ever struggle to find the end of tape on a roll? I often run my finger over the surface several times hoping to feel the edge. Here’s a helpful tip to put an end to the problem.
Place a button at the end each time you use the tape. It will separate the end from the roll, making the edge immediately visible. Simple and 100% effective.

Since most American homes have some degree of hard water, mineral deposits build up in coffee makers over time. Here is a safe and effective way to remove deposits. Fill your coffee maker with equal parts white vinegar and water. Run this solution through one brew cycle and then run plain water through one cycle.
Do this every few months to keep your coffee maker working efficiently.

Spices should be stored away from light and heat. An easy and space saving method for spice storage is to purchase a hanging shoe organizer (a child’s size works well) and place your spices in the individual compartments. You can hang the organizer from the door or anywhere within your pantry.
As an added benefit, the clear plastic will make each spice easily identifiable, which will also save you time in the kitchen.
