Dollar Tree JACKPOT! (huge shopping vlog!)

by Filed Under: DIY Projects, Dollar Tree, Money Saving, Organization

You asked, so here it is!  Come to Dollar Tree with me.  The BIGGEST Dollar Tree in my city shop with me vlog!  I have never been in a dollar store this huge, and this stuff was insane.  I don’t think I’ve ever scored as many “rare” organizing finds as I have in this video, and there were so many new products for Summer (May, June, and July) of 2017.  I also scored a ton of home decor items, wall decals, and party supplies for the boys’ first birthday (it’s a Dr. Seuss theme).  I had so much fun filming this!

#1 Slow Cooker Recipe according to Reddit! (Honey Garlic Chicken)

by Filed Under: Recipes

In this episode of #cookingwithcarson, we make delicious Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken!  My husband Charlie loves spending time on Reddit (something I will never understand lol), but when a thred popped up recently on the main page about slow cooker recipes, he immediately printed it and told me we HAD to try it!  So in this video, Carson and I give it a go.  What I really loved is how it uses bone-in chicken breasts– the flavor is so much richer and they are so CHEAPER for families than the boneless, skinless variety.  So, if you need a quick and easy Crock Pot recipe to impress, this is a great go-to.  You can’t go wrong.  Plus it doesn’t use a block of cream cheese, so you can feel good serving to your family.

Night Time Cleaning Routine (100% natural!) feat. E-Cloth

by Filed Under: Cleaning, Money Saving

In this clean with me video I share my (all natural) night-time cleaning routine!  Chemical free speed cleaning. ?  I love taking 30 minutes every night to make my house feel fresh and new again to start the morning off on the right foot.

?Get E-Cloths here
? Starter set I have (cleans your whole house)
?Ace Hardware

For the biggest bang for your buck, I recommend the starter pack of 8 cloths.  It cleans your entire house, and it works out to under $5 a cloth.  Most cloths last for 300 washes (I’ve been washing mine every 3-5 days), and you don’t need to buy any product or make any DIY solutions for them to work and clean 99% of bacteria.  Just use water!

*So thankful to Ace Hardware and E-Cloth® for sponsoring this video.  I genuinely love these cloths so much (especially the polishing cloth…it is straight LEGIT).  All opinions are my own.*
