Often older cloth furniture retains the smells from its prior life. Furniture with cloth components can also harbor things you don’t want to even think about. If you have ever hung your clothing on a line to dry, you know that sheets dried outside generally smell wonderful! Dealing with smaller cloth items.

Try replacing some paper products on your list with cloth and re-usable products that you probably have around the house and you will not only reduce your grocery spending, but you will also reduce your waste. Switch from paper tissues to flannel cloth hankies - Flannel is so much softer on my kids' little noses.

With so much turmoil and unease in the world today – political, social/economical, technological, environmental, etc. Recycling is a simple and obvious practice that children can easily understand. Teach them how to recycle household items like plastic bottles, aluminum cans, paper, etc. And vice versa!)

However, organized moms know that doing laundry weekly means there are a lot of clothes to wash during the weekend. You can also encourage your kids to organize their clothes before going to bed. Whenever possible, you can fold clothes while assisting with homework or watching TV. Avoid the urge to stuff it into a drawer.
