For once in my life, I knew what I wanted to wear last Friday, but it was wrinkly. With my morning routine, I had about 30 seconds to do something about the wrinkles, or choose something else to wear as I don’t leave enough time for myself for another one of my no ironing hacks. … Continue reading

How to Remove the Ring Around the Collar
I thought it might be about time for another laundry post and today’s tip is inspired by this pin and also by the fact that it seems like laundry always creeps up on me. Laundry should realize that if there is still a load sitting in the dryer, the dirty laundry baskets cannot fill up because … Continue reading
How to Save a White Shirt from Color Transfer {Fail}
I bought a new red shirt from Old Navy and really loved it, until I took it off to see that it had turned my white undershirt pink. Pink like you accidentally threw a red item in with your whites in the wash (which I’ve done on more than one occasion) pink. Boo. After I … Continue reading
28 Chores That Take 30 Seconds or Less
Clearly I live in a constantly messy house because I write about how I clean it every week; well parts of it. That’s only partially true.

7 Tips to Avoid Ironing
It seems like I should be promoting ironing and how to iron a dress shirt properly, but I’m not. Don’t get me wrong, I like ironing, but I don’t always have the time and find it quite unnecessary if the proper steps are taken. When I’m washing the Husband’s work clothes, I always take them … Continue reading
5 Things to Clean Before a Vacation
I am so excited to go on vacation next week, like really, really excited. I love traveling, seeing sights and escaping from the real world just for a little bit. But before I go on vacation, I clean the house to near perfection. Why? Because afterwards I don’t want to do anything except relax and … Continue reading
How to Tell if You’re Using Too Much Detergent
Yes, it’s possible to use too much soap in your front loader. I found this fantastic series of videos on front loaders, which explain why the washer is stinky, won’t drain, or leaves residue. My favorite part of the video is when the washer is full of suds, because it’s a moment of “look how … Continue reading
