RIG - I
thought I h d every potentially
dangerous or poi nous ubstance
loc ed up in my house. But while
rai ing my five children, I h ve dis­
covered few "new" items th t I feel
every mother hould be warned
bout.
Fi t, s win machine oil: Imagine
my urpri h n my 2-year-old
tri d to drin clear oil out of m II,
mi-opaqu white plastic bottle that
rongly resembled a baby-doll bot­
tle.
Second, did you realize those new
f brie-softener containers strongly
resemble milk carton? My little 13-
m nth-old w s savvy nough to try
to drink out of on . Now I store it up
high, out of reach.
I hope this information h Ips other
mothers. Gerri K., Half Moon, Calif.
ROSE PETALS - I enjoy grow­
ing r but always hate to see the
beautiful blooms fade. This is the
idea I came up with.
I pull the petals off when they start
to fade and let them dry. When
they're dry, I simply pi ce them In a
ginger jar with a cinnamon stick or a
few clov . Any time I want to enjoy
the smell of roses, all I have to do is
remove the lid. Debbie R., Groton.

department head for a local major
grocery chain, so I never have to
worry about not getting the best

However, if you're not married to
a produce man, get to know the

ICE-CREAM CUPCAKE -
When having a child's birthd y
party, scooping out ice cream can be
made easy.
An hour or so before the party, take
a cupcake pan, put in some foil cup­
cake liners and put a scoop of ice
ream in each one. SprinkJe with
sprinkles, and after cutting the cake,
place the servings of ice cream on
party pi tes. It's y. Ginger V.,
