Cups, glasses, mugs, and bottles: I’m going to be blunt. You don’t need 17 plastic cups. Well, maybe if you have 15 kids. So get rid of some of them. The cups, not the kids. I mean, I’m not judging. Tough times. We’re all tightening our belts a little, and kids are expensive…. On second …
National Laundry Day coming up was all the motivation needed to finally get some laundry room organization done. To celebrate the day, sharing some of my best laundry room organization tips seemed fitting. Detergent: I normally buy powdered Gain in the larger size box, but have been known to make my own detergent. Opening (and …
This summer, when Hurricane Harvey hit Houston (say that five times fast) one of the issues that Texas faced was getting food supplies. Even for many of us that were safe, we either couldn’t get out of our houses for a few days, or the store shelves were getting pretty bare since the trucks delivering …
This week we are stocking up on medical supplies! Pain killers like aspirin, tylenol, ibuprofen, etc. Digestive medications, like pepto-bismol and tums, cold and flu medicine, allergy medications… basically whatever your family normally uses. One bottle or box goes a long way, so you may (like me) only need to grab a couple things. Maybe …
This week we will be stocking up on cleaners! Dish soap and detergent, laundry detergent, bleach, stain removers, counter spray, stainless steel spray, stove and oven cleaner, windex, toilet bowl cleaner, shower sink and tub cleaner, all purpose cleaners… whatever you use to clean, grab an extra or two! I’ve been making my own shower, …
Organizing the master bathroom has been on my “to do” list for a few months, so when At Home asked me to share an organizational project, I knew it was time to get on it! My daughter and I love to have “spa nights” from the comfort of home and I think this newly organized …
I love using a tray on my kitchen islands to corral things and create fun vignettes with. Using a tray to makes what would be a cluttered-looking counter seem much more neat and tidy. Trays also allow you group together an assortment of objects you might not normally consider clustering together. (Clothes pins, snow balls, …
A few months ago, I purged my makeup collection. Into the garbage went several old eyeshadows that I never really wore, old lipsticks I ended up hating the color of, and other various items that I never used, for one reason or another. After ditching the disorganized container I was keeping my makeup in, I …
Our rental has an ok sized laundry room. It even has a sink, which I didn’t have in our last house. And I love having it more than I thought I would. There isn’t a whole lot of storage, though. So I corralled my jars of detergents, oxyclean, and my piggy bank I use for …
Though I’ve made it a goal to fulfilling most of our nutritional needs via the food we eat, I feel better knowing that anything we are lacking in our diets can be supplemented by vitamins. But we just weren’t remembering to take our vitamins. Even when I bought all of us gummy vitamins, making taking …
Today is all about: 1.) The BEAUTIFUL weather that blew in! The sun is shining, the doors are open, and the house is getting much needed fresh air! Makes it hard for me to be grumpy- even on a Monday! I’m having a hard time being inside on a day like today, but it is: 2.) Laundry …
So many things I come across or even just thoughts I have during the week inspire me. But then I forget about them and continue on as I was before without incorporating them into my life or growing from them in any way. Sunday is a day of renewal and motivation for me. A day …
