    Check out these A B C Cleaning Tips I found on the Robbie&#039;s Recipe web site.  Tips like these are reallly time savers to use when cleaning up for you next get together. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ant Repellant: To keep ants out of the house, find where the ants are entering the house and sprinkle a &quot;barrier&quot; of cinnamon or any type of ground pepper to block their way. The spices are too hot for the ants to cross. (Submitted By: Tony &amp;amp; Sherry Lorsung) Cucumber peels have the same effect. (Submitted by NIKEITA)&lt;br /&gt;

Bathroom Odors: Place an opened box of baking soda behind the toilet to absorb bathroom odors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Carpet Stains: Baby wipes are miracle-workers on carpet stains, from motor oil to blood, they remove almost anything!&lt;br /&gt;

    I’m a new mom and have decided to stay at home with my baby for the first few years.  As a 1st time mom, I’ve found it a little more difficult than I would like to admit and I went online looking for some good advise.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Check out this website for some great links.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.partyplansearch.com/family_friendly_resources&quot; &gt;Resources for the Stay at Home Mom&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I found a site with Colic relief products and a site on potty training techniques.  I joined a mom support group and was paired up with a mom who is going through the same things.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img width=&#039;110&#039; height=&#039;73&#039; style=&quot;float: right; border: 0px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.midwesternwoman.com/serendipity/uploads/newmom.serendipityThumb.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;My first tip that I would like to share with every new mom is that you’re not alone.  When friends and family offer to help, take it you’re not expected to be a superhero.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My second tip is to take your baby and get out of the house every once in a while.  Stay at home mom does not mean you have to be cooped up in the house 24/7.  Go to the park, shop at the mall or join a mommy and me group.  I joined a Gymboree class offered at the local YMCA.  We formed a play group and I’ve been able to make some great friends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Being a new mom is not easy, but when I look into my little boys eyes I know that it so worth it.  &lt;br /&gt;
