Hint 1: Did you know balloons make great ice packs for small injuries?

Fill a balloon or two to make a quick ice pack. Fill a balloon halfway with water - make sure you leave enough room for it to expand - and tie a knot. Place it in the freezer to have ready whenever you need an ice pack!




Hint 2: I never thought of this before, but what a great idea. I'm trying this...

Balloons are great to have handy while doing laundry because they keep the shape of some of your clothing that need to be air-dried such as bras and baseball caps. Simply blow up a balloon and slip the item over it and let it dry!
