Have you ever noticed how EXPENSIVE laundry detergent is? I mean, really. It is. And it’s not like you can just decide to save money by not washing your clothes….I HATE being trapped like that. Besides the cost, laundry detergent has some toxic stuff in it. Four of the worst offenders are: Sodium lauryl sulfate …

Got To Pick A Pocket Or Two

I have a confession to make. I’m a pickpocket. But it’s all for a good cause, you see….the cause of my time. And my laundry.

You may have noticed a dramatic increase in my number of posts lately. If you haven’t, that’s okay. I know some people who have noticed, but not because they read this blog. I am, of course, referring to mi familia. And the way they have noticed is this: every evening when the kiddos are told …

When I was little, I’d see movies or commercials that showed little girls running through the sheets that were hanging out to dry. It looked like so much fun & I asked my mom why we didn’t do our drying like that. She basically said that only “poor” people dry their clothes that way and …
