I was compensated for this post as a Filtrete Healthy Home Ambassador, all thoughts and opinions are my own. Are you in full spring cleaning mode yet? I sure am. I just spent the past weekend decluttering and donating stuff to Goodwill. I have been collecting stuff from around the house to sell on Craigslist or take to consignment shops but they sat around for about a month so that was my clue to just donate them and be done with it. What a relief! Now I can get down to the nitty gritty and … [Read more...]

The results were quite delicious and the addition of sweet potato … [Read more...]
How to Clean Stinky Towels – Without Harsh Chemicals
One of the things I miss about living in the Southwest is the fact that we never, ever had to deal with things like mildew and stinky towels. As a child, bathing suits and towels could be tossed on the carpet all willy nilly and only an hour or two later they would be crunchy and bone dry. Mildew didn't stand a chance.
