I’ve seriously been debating making my own laundry detergent. I keep seeing recipes everywhere and how much cheaper it is! Ever since Emma was born I’ve been very careful with what kind of laundry detergent I buy. Those eco/natural detergents get to be very expensive! The hardest part about making your own laundry detergent is [...]

I thought I would have time to update this blog more while on maternity leave but nope…I don’t know how stay at home mothers do it…! If I’m not playing with Emma, I’m changing her diaper. Or nursing her. Or trying to get her to sleep (which can sometimes take awhile!) And then I’m lucky [...]

Just discovered this cool website called ifttt. It uses different internet feeds to automate useful tasks for you. For example, you can have any facebook photos that you are tagged in automatically downloaded, get an email or text message if it’s going to rain that day, or even send a text message that will call [...]

In this latest Consumer Reports article I recently read, they tested dishwasher detergents. Since moving into my house, I’ve started using the dishwasher.

Since owning a house, I’m kind of obsessed with how I fold things. (I know. Weird, right?) I think I blogged about how to fold a fitted sheet before which I have been using up til now but to be honest, it still came out to be somewhat of a folded blob. Well recently I [...]

You’ll never guess what studies have shown to be the best drink after exercising…it’s low-fat chocolate milk! You know what make the best ice packs? DIAPERS! Yeah, the most annoying part about homemade ice packs is when the ice melts…and this takes care of that. Pretty genius! Did you know you can use duct tape [...]

One of the things I was supposed to do this month was to clean my sink. Did you know the sink is one of the dirtiest places in your entire house? It is filled with bacteria and other gross stuff that could make you sick. I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve never actually cleaned my [...]
