Budget Laundry Routine!

by Filed Under: Cleaning, Money Saving, Organization

In this video I share my budget and natural laundry routine with you!  Plus I show you how we organize our laundry room and make sure to get all the of the laundry done perfectly.  Or just done.  Or mostly done most of the time 😉  Ha!  Enjoy 🙂

PRODUCTS MENTIONED:

**Crystal Wash Detergent Free Laundry Balls (20% off)
I’ve been using these for 1.5 years.  Here’s tips to maximize their effectiveness that I have found when working with them (lots of you saw my old video and asked for an update!)
– Wash with hot water when possible
– Do not overfill load (this causes the balls not to have proper agitation of clothes)
– Just like any load, spot treat major stains first using a baking soda and hydrogen peroxide paste)
– Let dry in the sun for the day once every 30 days
– Great on musty towels!

Greenshield Organic Laundry Detergent
We use this on sheets and comforters.  The Costco bottle is the most economical and lasts a long time.

**Dryer Balls
We LOVE these.  You can also use tennis balls. We don’t because it is loud and the kids’ rooms are right next to the laundry room.

We bought a new house! (and sold our house fast)

by Filed Under: Money Saving, Organization

We bought a new house similar to these Okanagan Valley Homes! In my New House and Moving series I’ll be sharing how we sold our home quickly (in just three days), tips for moving on a budget, how to move into a new home, and how to get organized quickly using systems that work with your family’s needs.

It’s usually very tricky for people to buy and sell houses so I know that a lot of you will be able to get a lot of help from our experience so that’s why I wanted to share it with you. It was a pretty stressful process but I love our new house. I had been looking at some houses for sale columbia il but we needed to find a house in a different location for a few different reasons. I finally found the perfect house in the perfect location and we decided to put an offer in! Luckily it got accepted!!!

Surprisingly, one of the most difficult parts of the process is actually arranging for a moving company to move our stuff out! High-quality moving companies like Big T Moving & Delivery are booked for months in advance so it can be tricky getting someone who can work on such short notice if you don’t contact them quickly.

Another important thing to remember is that you need to budget for every little thing to avoid over spending. Remember to take into account things like the realtor’s fee or the moving company price in order to keep on budget, Anyway, I’m giving too much away!

I hope you enjoy this video and I can’t wait to share this next adventure with you!
