When feeling sad, watch The Holiday. It is a fail-proof mood booster.

Do not keep your paper straws (or any paper products for that matter) in the cupboard directly above your gas stove. It can and will start a small fire (if you are a klutz like me).

If you can't figure out what to do with your hair and nothing is looking quite right, do your makeup first. It always makes a hairstyle look twice as good.

Get your pet's nails buffed, not clipped. Less scratchy and keeps the wicks short too.

Count your blessings. 

Do not underestimate your baby's ability to climb and reach things, especially when you think it's the last thing they are capable of. The more unlikely you think it is, the more likely it will happen.

Always place the toilet paper with the roll pulling from the top, not the bottom.

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...

Do fold your laundry just as you pull it out of the dryer. The more you put it off, the larger the heap will grow until it is threatening to eat you and everything in the room.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Never pay full price for anything at Michaels or Jo-ann's. They have a coupon for everything.

Your parents are usually right, even if you would describe them as senile. Just listen to them already, would ya? 

Animals make great head rests.

Trust your instincts. They are there for a reason.

If someone offers you a $100 to eat a wasabi ball the size of a ping pong ball, just do it. You can swallow it in its entirety without the faintest taste.
