Preheat

-Don't waste energy preheating the oven like recipes call for unless you are baking. Casseroles can go straight in the oven just fine.

Post cards

Kids can start their own scrapbook of places they have been to with these. It can even curb the "I have to have that souvineer" syndrome.

My kids have a little $1 album with the 4x6 slots in it and all of their postcards in it from all of the places we have visited. They love to show it to their friends.
