I decided to dedicate this entry to things that make my life easier. Sarah gave me this idea when I saw her post on Space Bags. Now everytime I go to Walmart, I’m looking for Space Bags! My linen closet is ridiculously tiny, and we have tons of comforters and towels from our wedding showers.
Recently my neighbor, April, ranted and raved about the 3-in-1 laundry sheets that will clean, soften, and anti-cling your clothes for you. I don’t really use fabric softener, and I seldom use my anti-cling things (because I never remember), but when I was looking for funny gifts for Peter for Christmas, this made the list. *I know that the previous sentence was a run-on sentence.* I am in love with how deliciously good-smelling my clothes are when I use these sheets! I could smell my clothes all day long. They even make the house smell wonderful when you take the clothes out of the dryer. And the nice part is, you don’t get any liquid detergent anywhere! I tend to make messes easily when pouring things, and I always end up with detergent on my hands. Ugh, I hate sticky detergent hands. So, thank you, Purex 3-in-1 laundry sheets!Another thing that is a must in this house is a tub of Lysol Cleaning Wipes. I have a tub of these in every bathroom and under the kitchen sink. They are awesome for quickly cleaning up areas before guests come over–what a quick way to clean your toilet seat, boys!
My other love has been my Spray N’ Wash. I know, I know. I’m like the last person on earth to figure this out, but this stuff is just genius. In addition to pouring things all over myself, I tend to get my sleeves dirty, especially near my wrists. I am always pulling my sleeves over my hands to keep the warm, which, in turn, makes my sleeves black with dirt. (If you’ve ever seen My So-Called Life, you’d know what I was talking about with the sleeve thing.)
These products, somehow, allow me to give others the illusion that I am a grown-up with un-spotted clothes and a nice clean bathroom. Thank you!
