Organizing the Month with a Frugal Command Center

There was a time when I felt like all of my days were spent running around like a chicken with my head cut off.  I would forget appointments. Sticky notes were all over my fridge, and my husband and I were not on the same page with our schedules. I could never remember when his…

How to Refresh Stinky Laundry

5 Tips to Simplify the Laundry

Taming the laundry beast can be quite a feat! I used to absolutely loathe laundry.  I had a mountain staring at me every single day and a huge pile of stained clothing that needed tending to, but I just kept avoiding them.  It just seemed like I could never get caught up and it was…

Cleaning with Essential Oils:  7 DIY Cleaning Recipes

It’s no secret that cleaning is not my favorite thing in the world, but just like many adult household responsibilities, it has to be done.  When I first got married, I used blue toilet bowl cleaners, bleach, blue glass cleaner, and chemical all purpose sprays.  When I became pregnant with our first child, I changed…

Controlling the Toy Clutter

A few weeks ago I found myself in the middle of a toy problem. Not just any toy problem.  I’m talking a BIG FAT HAIRY toy problem.  A problem big enough to send me over the edge. Don’t believe me?  Look at this tornado! The funny thing is I have no idea how we found…

How to Make a Stainless Steel Pan Non-Stick

I know non-stick pans can be so convenient, but I’m here to give you that gentle reminder that those non-stick and Teflon coated pans are not great for your body.  I haven’t used a non-stick pan in nine years.  I now use an old cast iron electric griddle, a large cast iron skillet, one enameled…

Candy Cane Bath Salts

If you could see me right now, you would find a momma with no makeup and un-brushed hair.  My “work” uniform of choice is a t-shirt with sweatpants.  Let’s just say I’m not one of those moms who looks put together every single day, especially if I’m not going anywhere.  It’s not that I put…

Host a Low Stress Holiday

I know it can be stressful to host Thanksgiving or Christmas day or really hosting anything in your house.  Planning the menu, cleaning the house, preparing the feast, decorating, blah blah blah.  It can be overwhelming, and frankly half of the stress is unnecessary if you ask me.
