Life Lately – December ’21

Where am I?? What day is it?! Are we still in 2021?! My goodness friends, what a crazy week it has been! I’ll share an update on that in a minute, but an overview – we left for a little getaway last week, missed our flight, finally made it home after a major delay and are now sick! I have so many things to share, but in the meantime, I’ll share a little life lately. Check back here tomorrow for my final gift guides tomorrow! Hopefully you are done Christmas shopping, but last minute ideas can always be helpful!

What I Do Wednesday – Laundry Essentials

It’s What I’m doing Wednesday and today I’m sharing my laundry essentials. I feel very passionate about certain laundry items and figured I would share these things with you!

First off, let’s talk laundry routine. There is literally ALWAYS at least one load running through the washer everyday. I throw all the kids clothing together and use the same detergent (will share it below!) and then separate undies, socks and towels and throw those together in a load. Obviously adult clothes separate from that.
