Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of The Fashionable Housewife looks like? Have you thought about what I’m doing when I’m not putting out exceptional and highly detailed blog posts for your daily entertainment?! It might surprise you, but I’m not one of those fancy blogging moms living a lavish life of luxury. I don’t have a maid cleaning my kitchen for me while I’m blogging or a professional photographer following me around while I don the latest fashion duds.
When I’m not blogging, I can usually be found doing laundry, dishes, or cleaning my house up after my 3 little dragons. Did I mention that I also homeschool my kids? Needless to say, I don’t have any free time at all.
Some days, it all seems so overwhelming and I feel like I can’t do it all. I have to take a step back and remind myself that it’s the little things that matter most, like the small details that we can overlook if we are too busy. Things like the look of joy on my two-year-old’s face when he discovers something new or the sense of pride and accomplishment my five-year-old son experiences when he reads a book by himself. Those are the little things I don’t want to miss just because I’m too busy.
One of the things I make sure of is that when I do have to do things like laundry, dishes or housecleaning, is that I am using products that make my job go easier and more quickly so I can get back to doing what I love most – spending time with my kids.
You probably don’t think about it, but little details like softer, wider, more absorbent toilet paper will save you time AND money. How, you might ask? Well, if it’s nice and soft, the kids are more likely to do a better job wiping themselves, which helps avoid twice daily baths. If it’s wider and more absorbent than the leading bargain brand, you can use less toilet paper each time, which saves you money.
Charmin® Ultra Soft® saves us time and money which is why it’s the only toilet paper we use in our house.
We get the large pack of 30 rolls at our local Costco and it lasts us 4-5 months! Our home has 2 bathrooms and generally between 5-8 people using our bathrooms daily. The one time I ran out of Charmin and picked up some bargain toilet paper at my local grocery store, everyone in the house complained endlessly! Their butts have all been spoiled by Charmin® Ultra Soft® now. There is no going back! With how affordable and high quality it is though, why would you want to?!
One of the other products that makes my job as a mom and housewife a lot easier is Bounty Advanced™ Paper Towels. With 3 kids under 8, 20+ chickens, a dog and frequent guests, you might imagine that I have quite a few messes to clean up everyday. Accidents happen all the time, whether it’s a spilled drink at the table or a muddy foot print on my freshly washed floors.
We are no stranger to having things like a cracked egg on the counter from the children delivering their chicken coop acquisitions.
Notice how our egg collection is cleverly situated right near the roll of Bounty Advanced™ Paper Towels. This is no accident, dear friends. You’d think by now we would have come up with a better plan to avoid broken eggs, but alas, I do not have control over everything in life. So for those messes, there is Bounty Advanced.
This is another one of those necessary household items, that when I ran out of them and needed more paper towels, I saved and bought a roll of bargain brand paper towels in a pinch. We went through the entire roll of bargain paper towels in less than 24 hours. Compare that to one roll of Bounty Advanced that normally lasts about a week in our house. I learned not to cut corners when it comes to paper towels. I know Bounty Advanced™ Paper Towels has got my back!
You know what other kitchen necessity always has my back? Cascade Complete® ActionPacs®.
Who hates washing dishes? You probably raised your hand, am I right?! I mean, c’mon. Even if you’ve got a dishwasher, you still end up pre-rinsing dishes, right? Ain’t nobody got time for that!
I just load those dirty dishes right in there, pop in one of these bad boys and fire it up.
I’ve tried all the bargain brands and I’ve tried all the competitor brands. They have always left me disappointed. All I will use now is Cascade Complete® ActionPacs® because it’s the only one that blasts away stuck on food, cuts grease, and leaves ALL the dishes sparkling clean. I do at least one load of dishes in my dishwasher every day, so I save a lot of time and money by using Cascade Complete® because I don’t have to pre-wash and I don’t have to run dishes through twice.
The last thing on my to-do list is laundry. Why is it the last thing on my to-do list? Because I HATE LAUNDRY! It’s so time consuming to sort it, find all the stained items, pre-treat all the stains, load the washing machine, unload the washing machine, put it in the dryer, unload the dryer and then after all that, I have to fold it too?! At least I can skip two of those steps now with Tide® Advanced Power® liquid laundry detergent.
Gone are the days when I had to sit down and locate all the severely stained items one at a time and then pre-treat all the stains before throwing them in the washing machine. Tide® Advanced Power® laundry detergent has advanced stain fighting power along with the technology to make your whites whiter while protecting your colored clothes. It does all the work for you with no need for the time consuming project of pre-treating stains. Best of all, it leaves your clothes cleaner and brighter than ever before. It’s Tide’s Best Clean yet.
So, will you excuse me while I go tackle all this laundry? I’ve got Tide® Advanced Power® laundry detergent in my court, so at least I won’t have to pre-treat these loads!
