Laundry Hacks
Let’s face it, laundry is exhausting, frustrating, and an endless cycle. It doesn’t have to be so overwhelming. Are you still sorting or dividing your laundry? Colors, whites, delicates, etc. Stop! Get a box of shout color catchers! Put one sheet in your washing machine and you never separate again! This a time saver and I promise it works! A load a day keeps the piles away!

Some of you can’t have wine, to that I can relate, so I’m also including a link to my favorite tea that is sweet and delicious without any sugar. Find an hour this…
