***If you are a parent interested in hot deals and saving money, join my Facebook group Hot Deals For Parents! Like most Asians, I did not grow up using the dishwasher. But I’ve been slowly using it more and more ever since I graduated college and now I LOVE my dishwasher. Not only does it […]

I’ve seen most of these hacks but there were a few new ones that I liked like the chip bag and the water bottle!

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!
