In this video I share tips for cleaning & organizing routine after the holidays to get the house back to refreshed and ready for the new year. I share how to organize and store ornaments, Christmas lights, how we keep our decor in check, and how I clean up (including all the GLITTER ha!) When you do put away your holiday decor? I’m all about getting it done before the new year. Have any tips to share? I would love to hear them!

With Christmas coming this week, I wanted to share my favorite tips for preparing a guest room on a budget. These are quick tips (all take minutes or seconds to prepare) with big impact. Enjoy time with your family!
PRODUCTS MENTIONED:
Mattress Topper (very good deal right now!)
Luggage rack
Our new headboard
RECIPE FOR MUSTY TOWELS:
Sprinkle 1/3 cup of baking soda into drum/on towels
Add 1/2 cup of distilled white vinegar to fabric softener well (or during the rinse cycle if an older machine)
Wash on hot
The vinegar acts as a softener and the baking soda neutralizes odors. It seems counterproductive, but many times towels smell because of soap build up in them. You will LOVE how neutral they smell after this treatment. Add essential oil to the load if you wish.

In this episode of #cookingwithcarson , he takes over the show for the first time (where are the tissues!?) and shows you the world’s BEST recipe for Peanut butter Cookies. These make great holiday gifts (for neighbors and friends) in Dollar Store boxes. Tag us if you give these a try (@doitonadime)
CARSON’S PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES:
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 egg
Mix all ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Form into small balls and put on an un-greased cookie tray. Bake at 350 F for 10-12 minutes. Check periodically. We like to bake them a little under done, take them out and let them finish cooling on the mat.
