Fall Cleaning Hacks with a Lint Roller
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #StickItToLint #CollectiveBias I always have a few Scotch-Brite™ Lint Rollers in my house. I need the rollers to get hair off clothing -- and I don't mean pet hair. It's my hair that's everywhere! I shed a lot. Lint rollers are also great for removing that pesky fuzz that accumulates on clothing in the dryer. I've discovered that lint rollers are handy home cleaning tools -- especially for folks like me who don't like digging out a heavy vacuum cleaner to rid the house of Continue reading...
Creating More Closet Space
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #FreeToBe #CollectiveBias My husband, kids and I all have allergies. We also have a clothing storage problem. When left out in laundry baskets and not properly folded and put away, clothing can collect dust, resulting in extra sneezes and sniffles!

Yet, in my home’s upstairs hallway, my family has a wall of Continue reading...

Now that the weather is getting cooler and we can put away our shorts and swim suits, the question is, how to store all our off-season summer clothing?
