Don’t you just love a good urban legend? A few days ago I had a great conversation with my beloved Grandma Betty. During our conversation, I flashbacked to the days I lived with her and recalled her rules and myths she had about housekeeping—and everything else in life. Today’s blog is an ode to Grandma Betty. Hi Grandma Betty!
The Top 7 Things You Can Do To Bring Good Fortune To Your House And Life, according to Grandma Betty… Remember, it’s the little things that make a house a home, so:
- For all you ladies who carry pocketbooks or bags, never put them on the floor. It’s known to bring bad fortune in the areas of money and finance.
- Never use the same knife in the peanut butter as you do in the jelly and vice versa. This is not so much a myth, but Betty hates seeing little pieces of jelly in her peanut butter!
- As soon as you get up in the morning make up your bed, or the rest of your day will a messy experience.
- When making a sandwich always align the crusts on your bread. Why? It’s good luck of course and looks so pretty.
- Black eyed peas should always be on the menu for New Year’s Day. Yeah, that’s good luck too.
- Always wash out any jars you plan to recycle or even trash. It allows the jar to start its next life journey nice and clean. It’s like you’re giving a little gift to the earth.
- If you are driving and an animal crosses your path, use your fingers to make an “X” in order to “erase” the moment. (But, I suggest you don’t start this because once you do, you will never stop!)
Now remember these are just urban myths. I’m not saying they are not true, but I’m also not saying I’m gonna be leaving my bed unmade in the morning. LOL! I’m sure there are other urban myths about homeLife – if you have one please let us all know.
I LOVE this idea! Made similar with my stuff and ...
