Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

Did You Know...


That refrigerator handles are a prime source of bacteria just lurking and waiting to cause a problem for you? While you would think of bathrooms as being the source of the most bacteria in your home, it's actually your kitchen! These germs are the same ones that cause the cold or flu to spread through your family.

Faucet handles and doorknobs are also on the list of kitchen culprits that aid and abet germs. Use a disinfectant spray or wipes on sink faucets, refrigerator handles, stove handles, cupboard handles, trashcans, doorknobs, and any other areas that you touch with your hands at least once a day. While you're at it, don't forget to wipe down your telephone!

Also, make sure to check the temperature in your refrigerator often (at least every other month) to be sure it's holding at least a 40 degree reading and your freezer is at 0. Keep that bacteria at bay!
