10 alternative uses for baby powder

Posted on June 30, 2014 by Kristin Posted in General Announcement .

‘Tis the season for fun in the sun, beach vacations, and lots of sand! One essential beach item is baby powder. It is perfect for getting sand out of…hard to reach places. It is also great when you want to put on your flip flops but don’t want to get your feet wet.

You are one person. How are you supposed to keep up with your job, being a wife, being a mom, laundry, and housekeeping?!

 

The easiest way…put it on a schedule. Get it in your calendar and get it done.

 

I’ve got my house on a rotation schedule. Sundays are my cleaning day. One week I will wipe down countertops in the kitchen and bathroom, clean the toilet and dust the living room. The next week is for bathtubs, floors, and vacuuming.

 

While I’m cleaning, I’m also doing laundry. It’s easy to keep everything moving once you get started. Are your weekends busy? Break up the chores. Try loading the dishwasher at night and unloading it in the morning. Throw a load of laundry in the washer in the morning. When you come home from work or running errands, move it to the dryer.

 

Another idea when dealing with kids and laundry is to assign each child their own laundry basket and their own day to wash clothes. Once the clothes are finished in the dryer have them fold and put away their laundry.
