8 Amazon Mother's Day Gift Ideas Under $40

Friday, April 26, 2024

Mother's Day is two weeks away, if you're in the market to purchase a gift or two, here are eight Amazon Mother's Day gift ideas that are all under $50 that any mom would love.

Amazon Mother's Day Gift Ideas:

When it comes to Mother's Day, I hate the idea of giving a gift just to give one, and I hate the idea of being gifted a gift just because someone feels obligated to give me something. When anything comes into my home I like to ask, does it have intentionality? Will it actually be used? Does it serve a purpose that another item in my home does not? With that in mind, I think that these Mother's Day gifts check those boxes, aren't wildly expensive, and will be useful and appreciated by most moms.

Espresso Machine:

Okay so right off the bat this gift is actually from Walmart, but it also has two-day shipping, it's $40 which is a killer deal for an espresso machine, and it has over 3,000 killer reviews. If you know someone who is in the market for an Espresso maker, this would be a great one to get. It's actually at the top of my Mother's Day wish list to save money from over-consuming Starbucks iced lattes.

Springtime Puzzle:

I love having a puzzle to work on, but to be honest 1,000-piece puzzles are a little too overwhelming for me. This 500-piece one is a perfect one that can be done in a day and is the perfect springtime picture.

Ice Coffee Glasses:

I bought an iced coffee glass like this last summer and it's a go-to in my house when I make coffee at home. These are under $20 and come in a set of four. The floral printed one is just super cute in my opinion.

Floral Printed Journal:

I'm not a huge journal writer, but I do try to write at least a few times a month. This one is really cute and pretty, very affordable, and might just be the right motivation to get Mom to journal more.

Modern Printed Apron:

Know your audience with this gift. I would love an apron because I don't currently have one, but I know some over-emotional mothers might interpret this as "You got me an apron, are you telling me I belong in the kitchen..." you know your mom, so stride lightly, but this apron is super cute (can you tell I'm into florals?), and it's a great price!

Coffee Table Book:

I love decorating with books and Amazon has so many great coffee table books that would be super fun to have around the home to look through. I love this history book that recreated black and white photos from history so you can have an idea of what things looked like "back then". There is also this home organization book or this really neat travel book.

Aesthetic Cutting Board:

Who doesn't love a good charcuterie board? This round one is well-priced and would make an amazing kitchen decor item that also serves a purpose and function.

Simple Modern Tumbler:

I got a Simple Modern Tumbler back in August as a birthday gift and I have LOVED it. It's cheaper than a Stanley Cup, it keeps your ice cold and frozen for literal days, and it comes in so many cute colors and patterns.

Greeting Card Box Set:

This is an awesome gift idea for any mom. I feel like there are so many occasions throughout the year when it would be nice to send someone a card, and I never have one on hand. This is a 24-card box set that has cards for every occasion, and it comes with dividers so you can continue to add cards to your collection and house them in the storage box.

The BEST DIY Bath Bomb Recipe

This is the best DIY bath bomb recipe to make if you're a beginner looking to make bath bombs for the very first time, or if you've made them before but need an excellent user-friendly recipe to use!

Best DIY Bath Bomb Recipe:

When my kids were younger they were obsessed with bath bombs, and to be honest, I was too. They were our go-to for stocking stuffers, Easter baskets, Mother's Day... if there was a reason to give a gift, bath bombs were involved. We loved them so much that we started making them on our own, and this recipe was the one we always used.

The key to making this recipe work is not getting the mixture too wet, and keeping a wet sandy consistency, if you can nail that, the rest of this process is super simple.

Where to Purchase Bath Bomb Ingredients:

You can purchase most of these ingredients at your local grocery store, but it may be more cost-effective to purchase some of them on Amazon since you can get them in larger quantities and less money per ounce. I have linked you to Amazon options in the ingredient list below.

Best Essential Oils for Bath Bombs:

You can use any scent of essential oils that you like best. Some of my favorites are lavender, peppermint, and any of the citrus scents, but you can be as creative as you like. My only suggestion is to purchase an organic option since these will be touching your body. I've linked to some inexpensive organic ones below.

DIY Bath Bomb Molds:

When I make bath bombs I use a 3-inch Christmas tree ornament (linked below), fill each half, and then mold them together. You can get creative though with a lot of different mold shapes, and Amazon has a ton of different options that you can purchase and try!

Ingredients for DIY Bath Bomb Recipe:

Yields about three bath bombs
1 c baking soda
1/2 c citric acid
1/2 c corn starch
1/2 c Epsom salt
3/4 tsp water
2 tsp essential oil (scent of choice)
1 tsp coconut oil
food coloring (optional)
circle mold (I got one at Michael's for $1)

How to Sew Baby Blanket with Minky Fabric

Thursday, April 25, 2024

If you're looking to learn how to sew a baby blanket with minky fabric, this tutorial will show you everything you need to know to make this process as easy as possible. Working with minky can be a little tricky but with the right tools it doesn't have to be overly complicated.

How to Sew Baby Blanket with Minky Fabric:

Something you might not know about me is that several years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter, I had an Etsy shop where I sold flannel and minky baby blankets. I think I only sold one blanket to someone in the UK and then closed my shop shortly after Kinsley was born, but I became pretty proficient in making these little blankets.

The key to sewing minky fabric is making sure you have a good footer on your sewing machine to hold the fabrics you're sewing together. Minky fabric can tend to slip a bit when you're sewing so you want to make sure you have enough pins, and a good footer to hold everything in place.

The Best Sewing Machine for Beginners:

If you're looking for a great sewing machine that is great and easy to use for beginners, I cannot say enough good things about this Brother sewing machine. It's the newer model of the one I purchased years ago and it is super easy to use. I love that it has many different stitch settings, can quilt, is super easy to thread, and is an all around delight to use. I've used a lot of terrible machines from other brands, but this is my go-to and my favorite.

Where to Purchase Minky Fabric:

You can get Minky fabric at most craft stores such as Hobby Lobby, Joann's and even Amazon. I've purchased fabric from a lot of online specialty retailers as well such as Spoonflower, and Harts Fabric, I don't think you can go wrong with whatever you choose, but I do love shopping in person and being able to see what I buy before I buy it.

Supplies for Baby Blanket with Minky:

Steps for Sewing Baby Blanket with Minky:

Start by placing fabric right sides together. Pin all the way around your fabric to hold it in place, and trim off any excess that you may have. My yard of minky fabric is typically always a lot longer than my flannel.

On one of the sides make sure to make a mark with your pins, and a gap about 6 inches wide. This is going to be where you will turn the blanket right side out when you're done stitching the inside.

Straight stitch a 1 inch seam allowance a long the entire blanket. Back stitching at the very beginning and end, and at both ends of the opening where you will turn it inside out. You can get a better view of this here.

Using an iron on the "cotton" setting, press the edges together so they are nice and neat.

Using a 5/8in seam allowance, choose a decorative stitch, and stitch your way all around the top of the blanket. Make sure that the hole from where you turned it inside out gets sealed.

At this point, you can iron again. Then you're all done! These blankets are super soft and cozy... I might have to make a massive sized one for myself!

The EASIEST Baby Blanket to Sew

Wednesday, April 24, 2024

If you're looking for the easiest baby blanket to sew, this flannel swaddle blanket was my favorite go-to blanket when my own kids were babies, and it's my favorite blanket to gift a friend when they're expecting too.

The Easiest Baby Blanket to Sew:

This blanket is super easy to put together because you basically just sew two yards of fabric together using straight lines. If you can sew a straight line, and follow the guides on your sewing machine well, that is basically all the skill you need to be able to make these blankets. This is a very beginner friendly tutorial, and one that I hope serves you well for all your baby blanket sewing needs.

What Makes this Baby Blanket Tutorial So Easy:

The best parts of this tutorial are that there is no cutting involved for the most part, except trimming edges if you wish once the blanket is pinned.

You don't need a rotary cutter.

You don't need a sewing mat.

There is no complicated finishing binding.

You don't need any fancy equipment for your sewing machine.

This is literally the first thing I learned how to sew and it is such an easy starter project. I really cannot stress this enough.

Beginner Friendly Sewing Machine:

I love Brother brand sewing machines and am very partial to them. I've tried a Singer, and a few other brands that all have failed me over the years. Once I finally purchased my Brother machine sewing was significantly easier and there was a lot less heartache.

My exact machine isn't available for purchase anymore, but if I was buying a new machine I would hands down purchase this Brother sewing machine. It's well priced, does all the functions you need, and has great reviews on Amazon. It checks all the boxes a beginner would need from a trusted brand.

Baby Blanket Sewing Supplies:

Pins
Two different prints of flannel fabric, 1 yard each
Thread
Sewing Machine
Iron

Easiest Baby Blanket Sewing Instructions:

Line up fabrics, right sides together and trim off any excess fabric hanging off any of the sides and pin together.

Using a 2in seam allowance, straight stitch your way around the blanket.

Be sure to leave an opening about 6in wide, back stitching before and after the opening to prevent unraveling. You will use this hole to turn the blanket inside out, so the right sides are on the outside.

Turn the blanket inside out once you're done straight stitching around the inside. Make sure to pull your corners out all they way so they look nice and neat!

Using an iron on low heat, press the seams together.

Using a 5/8in seam allowance, choose a decorative stitch, and stitch your way all around the top of the blanket. Make sure that the hole from where you turned it inside out gets sealed.

And then you're done! Let me know if you have any questions!

The Best Chicken and Waffles Recipe for Kids

Thursday, March 14, 2024

This chicken and waffles recipe for kids is sure to become one of your family's favorite meals. We've been making this for our kids since they were toddlers and it's been a staple family recipe ever since. If you're looking for an easy and straightforward chicken and waffles recipe, this is the perfect one to start with.

Chicken and Waffles Recipe for Kids

The thing I love the most about this chicken and waffles recipe is that it is both flavorful enough where adults love it, but not too overwhelmingly spicy that kids resist eating it. It also comes together really quickly, and isn't very intimidating to make at all. Chicken and waffle is one of those things that sound complicated to make, but the reality is that it's really straightforward and simple.

Chicken and Waffles Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup Corn Starch
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup buttermilk
1lb thin sliced boneless skinless chicken breast
Store Bought or Homemade Waffles

Preparing the Chicken

Begin by marinating the mini chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes. This helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, garlic salt, paprika, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Optional: just the smallest amount of cayenne pepper makes a huge impact. This seasoned flour will give the chicken a deliciously crispy coating.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Dredge each marinated chicken breast in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165º.

Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Cooking the Waffles

While the chicken is frying, prepare the waffles according to your preferred method. You can use a waffle iron to make homemade waffles or toast store-bought ones until golden brown and crispy.

Once the waffles are cooked, place one on each plate in preparation for serving.

Assembling the Dish

To assemble the chicken and waffles, place a crispy fried chicken breast on top of each waffle.

Drizzle with maple syrup for a sweet and savory flavor combination that kids will love.

Serve immediately and enjoy the deliciousness!

Now that you have the basic recipe, let's explore some creative variations to make this dish even more exciting for your little ones.

Maple Syrup Magic

Maple syrup is the perfect accompaniment to chicken and waffles, adding a touch of sweetness that enhances the flavors of the dish. For an extra special treat, consider infusing your maple syrup with flavors like cinnamon, vanilla, or even a hint of citrus zest.

Spicy Sriracha Mayo:

While our kids love this meal with maple syrup, my husband and I love to eat this with a spicy sriracha mayo drizzle. We simply mix together some mayo and sriracha until we get a consistency we like, and then drizzle that over our fried chicken. You can also mix in a little maple syrup into this mixture to give it another sweet depth of flavor.

Use Fun Mini Waffles

Mini waffles are not only adorable, but they're also perfectly sized for little hands. Experiment with different shapes and designs to make mealtime more fun for your kids. You can even let them help out by using cookie cutters to create waffle shapes like hearts, stars, or animals.

Waffle Slider Sensation

Turn chicken and waffles into bite-sized delights by making waffle sliders. Simply cut the mini waffles into smaller pieces, add a slice of fried chicken, and secure with a toothpick. These bite-sized treats are perfect for parties, picnics, or any time your kids need a quick and delicious snack.

Kid-Friendly Chicken

To make this recipe even more kid-friendly, consider using mini chicken tenders instead of breasts. These smaller pieces of chicken are easier for little ones to eat and can be dipped into their favorite sauces for added fun.

Healthy Twist

For a healthier version of chicken and waffles, try baking the chicken instead of frying it. Simply place the breaded chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown. This reduces the saturated fat content while still delivering the crispy texture kids love.

This is especially great if you're trying to be conscious of our cholesterol. Overall preparing the meal this way will give you a great balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fat, and it makes for a pretty well balanced meal.

Serving Suggestions

Pair your chicken and waffles with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad for a well-rounded meal. You can also serve them with a side of honey mustard sauce or barbecue sauce for dipping.

Make-Ahead Tips

If you're short on time, you can prepare the chicken and waffles ahead of time and simply reheat them when ready to serve. Just be sure to store the components separately to maintain their crispiness.

Final Thoughts

Chicken and waffles may be a classic southern dish, but with this kid-friendly recipe, you can bring the deliciousness of this comfort food favorite to your own kitchen. Whether you're serving it up for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this irresistible combination is sure to put a smile on your kids' faces. So gather your ingredients, fire up the stove, and get ready to create memories around the dinner table with this delightful chicken and waffles recipe for kids.

10 EXCELLENT Tween Easter Basket Ideas 2024

Thursday, March 7, 2024

These tween Easter basket ideas are perfect for kids ages 9 to 12-years-old that aren't necessarily mature enough for teenage items, but have long outgrown the little kid items that they used to find in their Easter baskets each year.

Tween Easter Basket Ideas:

When looking for tween Easter basket ideas, I tried to think of things that my kids actually use and enjoy, that are age appropriate for them, and aren't just dollar store basket fillers that are going to end up in the trash in a week or two.

I would rather purchase my kids one item that cost $10 and a put some candy in their basket then spend $15 on junk that truly isn't going to serve a purpose in our life once the holiday is over. We try to be very minimal with our Easter baskets for many reasons, but reducing waste is at the forefront.

Managing Easter with Older Kids and Tweens:

As I mentioned previously, gifting and baskets are not a major focus of our personal family celebrations. I grew up in a home where Easter baskets were a big deal, but even then they were filled with a ton of candy and not necessarily gifts.

My husband grew up in a family that never did Easter baskets and bringing that tradition into our own family was hard for him. We've found the balance of keeping them small, not the center of the holiday, and I've definitely had to learn that dollar store thrills while fun in the moment don't last long and end up being a waste of money.

For our family we typically will put about 10 plastic eggs filled with candy in each of the kids baskets, and then they will each get 1-2 items, often things that are on this gift guide. Last year each kid got a small spot it game in their basket with their candy.

This year we haven't made any decisions yet, but I'll likely get a game or two for Kyle, and then Kinlsey has been asking for a small hedgehog stuff animal, so I'll likely get her that and possibly that egg toss game shown above because it's something we can do as a family in her skill level.

10 Tween Easter Basket Ideas:

Hedgehog Stuffed Animal:

Kinsley has been obsessed with hedgehogs for the last couple weeks and has been asking me nonstop to purchase her a hedgehog stuffed animal. I told her that I was not going to buy her one on a random day of the week, but I will for sure put one in her Easter basket for her.

Small Easter Lego Set:

Legos are always a good small gift idea to throw into an Easter basket. There is this bunny and carrot set that is shown to the left here, but there is also this yellow bunny and egg one that is also really cute.

Monogrammed Fanny Pack:

I cannot be certain, but I think every girl on earth is in her fanny pack era, correct? This monogrammed one comes in every letter of the alphabet and is under $10.

Tween Girl Face Masks:

I don't know if my daughter is at the age where she would think this is fun, but I have to imagine there are tween girls out there that would think getting a face mask in their Easter basket would be so fun. I love that each one of these are a different cute animal theme.

Slime Easter Eggs:

I don't particularly love gimmicky holiday specific items that will end up in the trash... but these are cute and I'm considering pulling the plug on them for just $6.

Kandoodle:

This game has been really popular among the youth group that I volunteer with on Sundays and Wednesdays. There are different puzzles in the instructions that you have to basically mimic with the given pieces. They stack into 3D pyramids which can be fun and challenging at the same time.

Kendama:

Again this is very popular among the ids I work with and Kyle has been in awe by some of the tricks that some of the other students can do. I think he would love the challenge of getting this in his basket to figure out.

Foldology Origami Set:

With Kyle being homeschooled this year I love the idea of getting this for him to have something to do during the school day, especially on Fridays when he doesn't have as much work to do, I think it would be fun and stimulating for him.

Egg Toss Game:

I saw this and it looked like a fun game that I could see our entire family playing together. It has a little voice speaker inside of it that makes different noises depending on how hard or soft you throw it, or if it hits on the floor. It's supposed to be like an egg toss without the mess and I could totally see our family loving playing this together.

How do you handle Easter baskets in your family? I'd love to know in the comments below!

Killer Deal on Geometry Kitchen Towels:

If you've been on the geometry website, chances are that you have completely scoffed when you've noticed that their kitchen towels are $18 per piece. It can leave you wondering, what the___ (insert superlative of choice here), and whether they are worth the money.

If you're into having seasonal towels and want to shop the latest prints all the time, then sure, spending that money on towels could be worth it for you. BUT there is a way to get these towels for just $7 each, and I'm going to share that with you here.

The Best Geometry Items:

The best items of Geometry's in my opinion are their dish towels. I love the tea towels and their bar towels the best and are what I currently have in my home. I find that they are super absorbent, high quality, and just last so much longer when compared to other brands.

Purchasing with Geometry Offers and Discounts:

Geometry offers lots of different ways to pay and checkout online.

Simple Easter Pudding Cup

Saturday, March 2, 2024

If you're looking for a simple easter pudding cup to make with kids leading up to Easter the next few weeks, these cups come together with easy pantry ingredients and are very easy to put together.

Simple Easter Pudding Cup:

When my kids were younger I loved celebrating all the holidays and doing all the things with them each season. It's something that we've lost as the kids have gotten older, but these pudding cups are still a fun after school activity that they enjoy making each year.

These can easily be adapted to whatever cookies, crackers, etc... that you would like to make them with, and while we made a bunny with ours, there are plenty of great ideas on pinterest for you to get inspiration from and make them your own as well.

Easter Pudding Cup Ingredients:

These easter pudding cups come together with just a few simple ingredients, many of which you likely already have on hand. To make these cups you will need:

Chocolate pudding cups (or vanilla or whatever flavor you like)
Graham crackers
Vanilla wafers
Frosting
Sprinkles

How to Make Easter Pudding Cups:

To make these Easter pudding cups you will first open the pudding cup.

Then you will take a 1/4 section of a graham cracker and cut it in half to make two bunny ears.

Take a little bit of frosting and attach the ears to the backside of a Nilla Wafer to make the bunny head.

Then you can use some frosting to make eyes and a mouth, and then attach some sprinkles to the frosting lines to make it more festive.

Lastly, you can shake some sprinkles into the pudding cup, and place the bunny head into the cup to finish off your Easter pudding cup.

When to Make Easter Pudding Cups:

You can make these anytime throughout the Easter season, but they are a great activity to do the week before Easter as a preschool activity, a class party, at church, home, or anywhere in the community if you're going to be gathering with a lot of small children. They're an easy treat that many kids will love to eat, and likely have even more fun making.

Boys Capsule Wardrobe Spring 2024

Tuesday, February 27, 2024

This boys capsule wardrobe for spring 2024 is the perfect size wardrobe to get your child through these last few months of school without breaking the bank.

Brown Shirt // Stripe Shirt // Charcoal Shirt // Striped Quarter Zip // Brown Sweatshirt // White Dress Shirt // Socks // Charcoal Joggers // Dress Pants // Cuffed Jeans // Sneakers // Dress Shoes // Ties

Boy Capsule Wardrobe Spring 2024:

Over the last few weeks both of my kids have gotten to the point where the clothes we bought at the beginning of the school year just aren't really working for them anymore. Things are short, faded, torn, stained, all the things that come with being 9 and 11 in elementary school.

My son is also getting to the point where dressing in sweatpants, basketball shorts, and athletic shirts every single day are no longer the vibe that he is going for. The man child needed a style upgrade, and after years of buying everything with a Nike or Adidas logo on it, I was happy to provide some new life to his closet.

How Many Pieces for a Boy Capsule Wardrobe?

In general I like to have around 12 pieces for a capsule wardrobe. This capsule wardrobe for my son is a little smaller, you might even call it a micro wardrobe if that's a thing? The reason behind this is because he's homeschooled and doesn't get out of the house at the same frequency as my daughter, and two, because he does hang out in his pajamas a lot as a result of point number one.

If he were in school full time, I would likely have added 1-2 more pairs of pants and probably two more shirts, but in general this smaller amount of clothing is more than enough to get him through what he does in a week, and he still has sweats, shorts, old t-shirts to get him through lounging at home as well.

The Best Dress Shirts for Boys:

I always include church clothes in my kid's capsule wardrobes because even if your family doesn't attend church weekly, it is nice to have some dress clothes on hands for your kids. My favorite dress shirts for my son are these new kid's shirts from And Collar.

They're stain resistant, waterproof, moisture wicking, and just an all around amazing shirt. It's easily Kyle's favorite, and they're the only shirts that Derek wears on a regular basis now as well. You can get 15% off with code Flamm15 at checkout.

How Many Pairs of Shoes for a Boy?

The answer for this is going to be different for every family and their needs, but we typically like to do three pairs of shoes. A pair for church, a pair for exercise, and a more casual shoe. You can see here we recently purchased these new casual shoes from Zara, but we've had these church shoes, and these Nikes for a while now and they've all held up well.

Old Navy Spring Girls Capsule Wardrobe (2024!)

Saturday, February 17, 2024

If you're looking to put together an Old Navy Spring Girls Capsule Wardrobe for the 2024 season, these 12 pieces are super affordable, on-trend, and can mix and match tons of different ways to get your child through these last few months of the school year.

Flower Sweater // White Blue Layered Tee // Cream Button Hoodie // Sun Shirt // Green Pants // Blue Leggings // Flare Jeans // Flare Flower Leggings // Light Blue Long Sleeve // Butterfly Tee // Slip-on Shoes // Sandals // Red Floral Dress

Old Navy Spring Girls Capsule Wardrobe (2024!):

I feel like every single school year around this time I'm scrambling to grab new clothes for the kids, especially my daughter who is particularly hard on her clothes, grows super fast, and needs a few pieces to tie her over until the end of the school year. If you're in the same boat, I just did some shopping and found some great and affordable pieces from Old Navy that will make the perfect spring capsule for my daughter.

How Many Pieces in a Capsule Wardrobe?

When making a capsule wardrobe for one of my kids, I try to have around 12 pieces. I look for pieces that are all within a similar color palette, that have long and short sleeve options for the spring, and where pieces can mix and match easily without me stressing about them getting themselves dressed each morning.

When putting together a capsule wardrobe for kids, I like to work with 4-5 pairs of pants, about 6 shirts, and 2 pairs of shoes, one everyday shoe, and another dressier pair for church.

For this capsule wardrobe for my daughter, I did 4 pants, 5 shirts, 1 sweater, 1 dress, and 2 shoes.

Girls Spring 2024 Capsule Wardrobe:

I found all of these pieces for my daughter at Old Navy. This post is definitely not sponsored, but I do love Old Navy's clothes for my kids and have been shopping there for years. All of these pieces were part of their spring new arrivals, so hopefully you can find them in your sizes still. I worked really hard to show you that you can wear all of these pieces in many different ways and that they really do all work well together for a spring capsule.

How to Keep Capsule Wardrobe Pieces Looking New for Kids?

It can feel hard to pare down to such a small amount of clothing for kids when they can be so rough on clothing, prone to spills, etc...

One of the things I like to do is stay on top of the laundry regularly and make sure things are getting washed as soon as possible. I also recently purchased this stain remover that is a total miracle worker on clothes. The stains are gone right before my eyes which makes working with a smaller amount of clothing much less stressful.

We also wash all our clothes in cold water only. I separate my laundry into four loads: darks, lights, whites, and towels. I don't use fabric softener, and we use a clear, chemical-free laundry detergent that is very gentle on our clothes.

We also use the normal heat setting on the dryer and make sure that the clothes aren't getting overdried. I've never bought a dryer sheet in my life. We try to be as gentle and chill with our laundry habits as possible.
