One of the best qualities to instill in your children at a young age is responsibility. Assigning chores to your child is a great way you can begin to teach them this. The great part about these house chores is that, even at a young age, your child should have no problem with them.
I know the winter is still a ways away for many people, but autumn will be upon us before we realize it. Soon we’ll be trading afternoons romping around the park for quiet days inside. Before it gets cool, here are some cleaning tips you have to take advantage of.
The dishwasher is a wonderful invention. It makes cleanup a cinch, which means it’s an easy task to kick over to the kids’ chore list. Unfortunately, most people aren’t using their machines properly. Here are some tips to use your dishwasher correctly.
Most people pump their water out of the ground through a well. As the water travels through soil and rock, it picks up minerals (like calcium and magnesium). Even if you’re on city/town water, it still mixed with rock at one point. Water with lots of minerals is considered “hard water.”
If you have soft water, count yourself lucky. Soft water is water with a low concentration of calcium and magnesium, as well as other harsh elements. It feels slippery and lathers easily. You also won’t see mineral deposits on your pots and pans.
Sports should be an integral part of everyone’s life. They give you a chance to get some exercise without feeling like work. They also teach us valuable lessons about winning and losing to help keep us grounded. No matter who plays sports in your household, stains are usually common.

If you’re like most families, you have some stinky items. Have you ever run something through the laundry, but that funky smell just won’t go away? If you’re like me, you’ve probably considered throwing something out because of it. Fortunately, that isn’t necessary.
A far smarter person than me once said “I won’t put anything on my skin that I wouldn’t eat”. Do you know the exact ingredients in the products you’re using? If the answer is no then you may be putting loads of harmful chemicals into your body without knowing it.
It’s no secret a clean and organized environment is more aesthetically pleasing than a messy one, but few people are aware of how much a clean space affects our mind. When our space is bogged down by clutter, our minds can feel equally out of whack without us even knowing.
