Do It On A Dime

Five Organizing Secrets for Kids’ Toys (Playroom Tour!)

by Filed Under: Money Saving, Organization

I wish I could say that general awesomeness led to our playroom and toys being organized.  HA!  Nope, definitely not that!  The truth is, it’s because we have few toys to worry about, our systems are simple, but our kids rarely get bored.  Here’s the secret-sauce to how to organize a playroom or your kids’ toys… and do it all on a budget.  I hope you enjoy these five simple tips to managing your playroom clutter.  Check out Elle’s video (The Lindquists) here.

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.
