Would it be silly to say that a set of plastic clips has changed my life? Well I’m going to say it anyway.
My name is Danielle and I am a laundry geek. My husband teases me that all I ever blog about is the laundry. Well, pardon me, but keeping up with the laundry happens to occupy about 75% of my average day. Or so it seems.
But the colossal task has just gotten a bit easier. Thanks to Sock Cops.... READ MORE

The other day, while I was putting away laundry, I opened 7-year-old Stephen’s dresser drawer and found a surprise.
All his underwear and t-shirts had been removed. In their place was what you see here: tape, scissors, glue, a batting glove, gum, a torn-off pants pocket, paper, string, precious boxes containing precious secret items, and the “number seven” candle from his recent birthday cake.

Laundry Quandary

A few months ago, I adjusted the settings on my washing machine. I believe I was on some kind of green kick and decided to switch from washing with warm water and start using cold. It seemed to me that using cold water would save on energy, which would help me reduce the size of my carbon footprint, and possibly save on our energy bill as well.
Of course, washing with cold water seems less effective... READ MORE
Laundry Year
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Homemaking on Monday, November 03, 2008
I have frustrated-perfectionist tendencies, and it’s only in the past couple years that I’ve figured out that setting long-term goals works way better for me than trying to reform myself all in one week.
