The Best Way to Fold Reusable Bags to Save Space (VIDEO)

May 20 by Annie

The best way to fold and store re-usable bags - this one tip has made a huge difference in my cupboards!

I've been meaning to post this video for quite a while (we're talking months) but - you know - life.  Now, however, the warm weather is coming and I'm not putting it off anymore. A neatly stored disposable bag or two in the car is a must have during summer - perfect for harnessing wet clothes and suits, sand toys, impromptu picnics, etc. And this method is pretty great just for keeping your cupboards from constantly overflowing too.

Eco-friendly Re-usable Cleaning Cloths

March 5 by Kaley

We used to go through so many paper towels at our house. We feel much better about using these reusable kits and the kiddos had a great time making them with me - super simple.

I love the convenience of the disinfecting wipes that come in the nice little packages. But I don't like the chemicals that come in them, the waste that they produce, or the cost. Especially when my little ones are using them. Thankfully, the DIY versions are super easy to make and may even encourage the kids to help with the clean up. … [Read more...]

And, once again, this one comes with a free printable to help you do it! Here's MJ with the details...
