8 Uses For A Tennis Ball
1. Light bulb remover. Cut in half
and use one half to touch warm bulb.
2. Toss tennis balls in the dryer andhelp bulky bedding items dry faster.
3. Cut small slits in the balls and fill them with pennies. Seal them with glue and
use them as weights when you power walk!
4. Roll sore feet over tennis balls.
5. Conquer lids by using the rubber lining of a cut ball to aid in your grip.
6. Cut a slit in a tennis ball and place valuables inside. Keep it hidden in your house.
7. Cut an X into four balls and slip the feet of an ironing board inside.
8. Lie down. Place a tied sock containing two balls under the spot where
your head and neck meet. Tuck your chin and gently nod your head up and down.

Photography Tips For Moms!
Every
so often we will add a new photography tip for the every day mom taking
pictures. Tips are from photographer Laura Eisenberg Helping Hand
Photography in Chicago.
Setting Pixel Resolution for the Best Quality Prints
Most point and shoot cameras have a choice of resolution settings.
Most casual camera users often forget to adjust this setting for their
pictures. You should always shoot at the highest resolution in case
you want to enlarge your photo. The downside to setting the highest
resolution is that you can't take as many photos on your memory card.
I use a Sandisk card which is a very reliable brand that works with any
camera and usually comes with software to recover images on a corrupt
card which sometimes happens.
Most printers do not require a minimum resolution for the images you upload for printing. When they indicate the largest size you can print, it is usually at a minimum quality resolution. The higher the resolution of your images the better the print quality. Many printers use 250ppi-300ppi (pixels per inch) Below is a list of maximum and minimum pixels at 250ppi for popular print sizes.
