Clean: Daily
The problem with dirty counters isn't as much about what you can see as what you can't. Wiping down and sanitizing kitchen surfaces after each time you use them ensures stray germs from last night's dinner don't end up in your next sandwich.

During a stroke, every minute counts. If you think someone may be having a stroke, B.E. F.A.S.T.

B—Balance Loss

Ask the person if they are feeling off-balance or dizzy.

E—Eye (Vision) Changes

Ask the person if they have trouble seeing normally.

F—Face

Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A—Arms

Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?

S—Speech

Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?

T—Time: If you see any of these signs, call 9-1-1 immediately.

Tuesdays are weird. Monday already stole your energy, the leftovers have mysteriously vanished, and your kids suddenly act like they’ve never eaten in their entire lives. Again. 😵‍💫

So before you end up serving cereal, string cheese, and “just vibes” for dinner, I rounded up some Tuesday Kids Eat Free (or super cheap) deals around the 417 to help rescue your evening and your bank account.

A few spots included:
Freddy’s
Fazoli’s
Jose Locos
Pizza Ranch
Panda Express
RibCrib
Village Inn
El Charro
Culver’s
Andy’s Frozen Custard (because bribery counts as parenting)

Honestly, there’s something magical about letting someone else bring the food while your kids spill crayons everywhere and ask for ketchup they won’t actually use.

And let’s be real… if nobody cries over dinner and you don’t have to wash a single pan, that’s basically a luxury vacation.

Bonus tip: definitely check with each location before heading out because some deals vary by location, age, time, dine-in rules, or whatever chaos the restaurant industry decided on this week.

Save this for your next “if I have to cook tonight I might actually lose it” Tuesday evening.

Clean: Daily
You touch your phone countless times a day, and the fingerprints you leave on the screen are a grease trap for gunk and germs. Get in the habit of wiping it clean at least once a day. Studies show alcohol is best for killing bacteria, but check with your device's manufacturer to see what is recommends to avoid damage.
Don't forget to clean the case too!!
