@materursa sweep often, mop as rarely as you can get away with. Water and wood aren't good playmates.

@rachelschultz07 I'm here to educate and hopefully, occasionally amuse. :) Teaching with examples is usually the best way.

@CMarie I'm sorry your kiddos are sick. I'm not nearly always this on the ball, like I said, I was happily avoiding something else. (The video I'm posting tomorrow)

@MelissaRecord I've heard of selective hearing, maybe he's got selective smell. . . sounds like a character from Alphas on the SyFy channel :P

@LauraandMikeCisco I haven't used liquid softener, pretty much ever. However a bottle of dryer spray should last 100 loads.

@cnelfox it's all about context. The only time I ever want to smell gardenias is when I am standing next to a gardenia shrub, otherwise? Cloying. :D

@KeterMagick like I told @momofbouys since I live in such a humid area, I can't give you a good review on its anti-static properties. We usually don't have any static until maybe, maybe January and at that point it's such a novelty I fold in the dark to watch the show. :P

@momofbouvs I live in a very humid area (the Lowcountry of SC) so I really can't give you much of a review on static. I did wash a few comforters yesterday and those will occasionally crackle and snap out of the dryer and I didn't observe any.

@ShanaDieli I've got pretty sensitive skin, too or I used to. I've used the free and clear and now Method products for so many years that I couldn't guarantee that I haven't grown out of it. :)

@KadeeHolman I do not believe so, the scent and softener respond to the heat of the dryer. You can compromise and do a 15 minute tumble which will soften your clothes and keep your electrical usage fairly low.

@MelissaTurnerJones yep we are ALL busy in our own way, it's part season of life, part our culture (and part our choices). My kids were 4, 2, and newborn that first year here, then came 3 years of homeschooling, and now we're just about to hit 9, 7, 5 with the last birthday next week and really, I can tell you, it gets better. You'll be busy, but it won't be the same focus on the input and output of each kid, which I find relieving.
