Tuesday Tip: Two-fer Today

I forgot to post a tip last week so I'm doing a Two-fer today.

Tip #1: Snacking
Back when Nathan first started eating adult foods, I picked up a set of Gerber Bunch-a-Bowls. Since then, these bowls have been used non-stop! They seem to be just the perfect size for everything. I started using them for myself for when I grab some kind of "junk food" snack. Rather than eating out of a chip bag, I throw some in these bowls and I don't have to worry about eating way too much. What I like about these bowls is that they stack so nicely inside themselves and don't seem to take up a lot of room in the cabinet.

Tip #2: Laundry
I seem to have a hard time getting the kids laundry done during the day. Almost every outfit has to be spot-treated and it takes up so much time. Since our laundry room holds our stockpiling shelves too, Nathan takes great joy in coming in when I do laundry and wants to unload all the shelves, making extra work.

So lately, I've been spot-treating the clothes at night after they are in bed. Since I don't want the noise of the machines to wake everyone up, I just throw everything in the machine and add the detergent and get all the settings ready. Then in the morning, all I have to do is pull out the washer button and let it wash while we eat breakfast. By the time we are done eating, a load of laundry is ready to go into the dryer! It's a nice time-saver.
