While you can try to save money by washing your clothes, towels, and bedding less often, that usually isn’t possible. Instead, you can try making your own laundry soaps, fabric softeners, and stain removers. I ran across these great recipes and solutions and thought I would share them with you.

I was inspired to create this kitchen organizing ideas round-up because soon I am going to be moving into an apartment with a kitchen that is half the size of my current kitchen — there are half as many cupboards and even fewer drawers! Yikes!

Awhile back, I posted a collection of 15 ways to clean around your house using baking soda. Now that the weather here is getting nice and I am itching to get out in my garden, I thought I would do a little research about different uses for baking soda in the garden.

Disney World tours are a great way to get to see your favorite park in a new way, with many of them offering the chance to go behind the scenes, meet cast and characters and learn about parts of Disney World that you might not have noticed before. The best part is that the tours are full of perks and special moments that you won’t get just visiting any of the parks on your own. Whatever your interests are, there is a tour just for you.

My first thought about trying to come up with paleo dinner ideas was there wouldn’t be much variety… What I learned once I started searching around was that I couldn’t be more wrong about that. Not only did I find a nice variety of paleo dinner ideas, I found several that I am sure my family will love.

For some reason, it seems like I rarely make hard boiled eggs. Other than boiling eggs to color for Easter, I make them maybe 2 or 3 times a year to make potato salad and deviled eggs. Although I love egg salad sandwiches and hard boiled eggs on my salads, I never make them for those purposes. I don’t know why this is the case since it is so easy to hard boil eggs.

It doesn’t seem to matter how hard we try to keep the microwave splatter free, it never seems to work. I can’t even just blame others because sometime I am in a rush and put things in there only to hear them POP after several seconds…
