Thrifty Tips (May 02, 2019)
Here's another article by me, this one about the robins who have built a nest right by my backyard. Hopefully, I can sneak up and get a picture of the fluffy baby birds soon.

If you have any garden or nature photos or any garden tips, please share them with us. We are looking for anything to do with your yard this spring.

Thanks for reading,
Jess

Robin's Nest

By Jess (TF Editor)

Robin's NestOur spring cleaning and repairs were temporarily interrupted when we discovered two robins making a nest outside our back door. They found our light fixture to be the perfect place. They got all sorts of material to make the base of the nest, including some shredded pieces of tarp that my son missed when cleaning up.

Cleaning Badly Burnt Pots and Pans

By attosa

Cleaning Badly Burnt Pots and PansDon't waste your time scrubbing a badly burned pot. All you need to do is put it outside in direct sunlight for a few days. The burnt food will crust up together, and when you turn it upside down, it will all fall out.

Today's Questions
12th Birthday Party Ideas
I am planning my daughter's 12th birthday party and don't know what to do. There will be about 20 people attending so we can't travel somewhere. She does not like the cinema or shopping. And a bouncy castle would be too hard to find as we are in the communion season. I was thinking maybe a sports day. Has anyone ever tried that or camping with a BBQ?
Finding a Lost Relative
I am trying to get a hold of my ex-stepfather's son in Florida. Last I heard, he lived in the Tampa area. I have been trying for over a year to find him on social media and all of the numbers I have looked up for him didn't pan out (either disconnected or no longer in service). I have bad news about his father that I felt he should know. Any ideas how I can find him?
Cleaning Company Name Ideas
What is a good name for a cleaning company with the word emerald in it?

Daughter Has Too Much Homework
I have a daughter who is in the 5th grade and is practically failing all her classes. This week was testing and so when she got home I asked "How was testing?" She said everything was going "fab" and she understood everything. Then I asked "Then can you get your grades up?". She sighed and said "No, my grades are low because I can't turn in my homework on time. She has 6 hours of homework.
