No more funky washer!

Affresh Product

Last month I told you all about my funky washer issues and how we were combatting that with Affresh. It had never occurred to me in the past to wash our washer. We've had months of build up and ick that was causes funky odors, it just wasn't pretty. You are supposed to wash your washer with an Affresh tablet once monthly. I gave the tablets a whole month to "do their job" and I am pleasantly … [Read more...]

I researched how to wash diapers in a top loader, I ordered some samples of RnG to take with us, and I was very picky about what diapers I would bring with us.But I was also nervous. I was nervous how my family in Michigan would react to the cloth diapers. They already think I'm crazy for not … [Read more...]

And since we have a HE front loader, I had to get used to a washing routine. (We are … [Read more...]
