The results are in! Tide with Febreeze took on the stinkiest item in my laundry and it passed with flying colors! The blanket now smells wonderful and I’m hoping that some of that wonderfulness might even rub off on my dogs. 😉 I’ve tried several different types of detergent on my dog’s blankets in the […]

It’s time for my first “laundry week” update! Do you remember these dirty white snow pants that I showed you earlier this week? Well they took on Tide Ultra in my washing machine yesterday. Which do you think won the battle? There is nothing worse than having to wash something twice in order for it […]

Laundry. It’s not one of my most favorite chores but of course has to be done. It just isn’t all that fun, is it…but then again chores in general are not all that fun, are they? 😉 This week is laundry week for me. Yes…week. I have a bit of a bad habit of letting […]

St. Patrick’s Day is often synonymous with leprechauns and Irish foods such as corned beef and hash. It’s thought of as the holiday when Irish people are kissed and those not sporting green are pinched, and that’s honestly about it.

With so much hustle and bustle surrounding the holiday season, settling back into routine at the start of the year is a great time to do some quick yet worthwhile organization projects. These projects are meant to be done in a short period of time (30 minutes or less). The goal of these mini-projects is […]

I needed a place to put event tickets without carrying them with me in my daily planner and needed a way to organize birthday and anniversary […]

During a holiday traditionally set aside for “lovers”, it is important to keep in mind that Valentine’s Day can be a great intentional opportunity to remind your kiddos how much you love them, too. While kids often celebrate at school with cards and parties, Valentine’s Day does not have to be limited to just that. […]

If your household is anything like mine, you are probably the one in your family that everyone expects to be a walking calendar– able to recall what is going on in anyone’s schedule at a moment’s notice!
