Laundry!

-
 

I was thinking the other day that there are things around the house that need laundering, but exactly how often? Take for instance sheets. How often do you launder them? I try to get them weekly, which is the standard guideline. But, I've heard of people going longer than that. I decided to look up the guidelines for laundering schedules of different things around the house and here's what I found--

Aprons- After 2-3 wears 
Bath mats - Every two weeks (I actually wash this every week.)
Bath towels - After 3 uses, maximum, but many people say more frequently (I actually wash after one use. I can't let them just dry and re-use. Just a personal thing)
Bed sheets - Weekly 
Blankets - Every month 
Comforters and bedspreads - If used as a blanket for sleeping, monthly. If taken off the bed each evening before sleep than every 3 months. 
Crib bedding - 2 times a week, including the mattress pad. Bumper pads should be washed monthly. 
Curtains - Every six months (either wash, or dry clean)
Dust ruffles - Every three months 
Kitchen towels - After one day's use 
Mattress pad - Monthly 
Pillows - Every three months (Replace every 6 months-1 year)
Sleeping bag - After every outdoor use, when you come home 

Do you agree with these guidelines? What do you think?

DIY Body Wrap

OK, this started as another one of those "Pinterest Experiments" to see if it would really work, and it actually did! I had read on Pinterest that you can do a body wrap at home wayyyy cheaper than at spas. All you need is lotion, plastic wrap and whatever body part you want to lose about .5 in on. Seriously. I did it on my stomach, because after 3 children, I have the "pooch". I hate the "pooch". I figured that this wouldn't hurt, so while Hubby was in Washington, I tried it. All you do is put lotion on the body part you are working on. It's preferable to have a lotion with something from the sea in it, like seaweed, kelp, etc, but not absolutely necessary. Put A LOT on. I mean to where it's not soaking in anymore. Then you wrap the body part in plastic wrap. You can either secure it with an ace bandage or do what I did and just tape it. Since I did it around my belly, I just taped it to itself and it stayed in place. Then you go to bed. Whe

On My Journey: Cataracts

-

Along with my entire family, I wear glasses.  I have for about 3 years now.  I had noticed about two months ago that my left eye was really bad.  I couldn't see anything out of it, just blurry blobs.  So,  I carried myself to the eye doctors, expecting to get a new prescription.  He dilated my eyes because my left eye failed all the tests.  Imagine my surprise when he tells me that at the age of 42, I have cataracts.  I couldn't believe it! He said this is extremely rare, but does happen.  I ended up leaving there with a referral to an eye surgeon instead of a prescription.  Now I'm waiting to go see the eye surgeon.  I'm a little nervous even though I know it's an easy,  routine surgery.  I will keep all you wonderful readers updated as this progresses!
