Keep your rugs from sliding

no slip rugs

Good old Martha Stewart taught us that rather than buying those ridiculously expensive anti-slip mats for a rug, just turn it over and run a few lines of acrylic-latex caulk every 6 inches or so. Let dry and flip over and your rug wont be going anywhere! If you don’t have a caulk gun, or don’t want to go that route, check out this Rug Gripper Non-Stick rug tape.

Don’t let the sunshine in

stop light from coming in the sides

I love sunshine. Don’t get me wrong. But when it is 6:30 am and you don’t have to get up until 9, the last thing I want is sunshine in my eyes! (or in the eyes of my kids!) This was a real issue when I moved into my apartment earlier this year. The side of the curtain kept pulling away and letting the light in WAY too early. I found a tip on Pinterest to fix this!

Take one of your ring clips and turn it around the corner so that it’s hanging on the bracket rather than [...]

What to clean if you only have 5 minutes

What can you clean in just 5 minutes

Our lives as moms can be SO busy. We don’t know whether we are coming or going a lot of the time. This can make it difficult to carve out time to truly clean our house. Eventually we will have to deep clean, but I wanted to share with you what you can accomplish even if you JUST have 5 minutes. While you are waiting on a kid to get ready, or the water to boil, try doing one of these below:

Five minutes isn’t a lot of time but if you’re efficient you can get a lot done. [...]

I was blown away when I actually tried today’s tip! I could’ve saved myself so much frustration if I’d known this when I moved into my first place (and 2nd and 3rd….)

Thank you, I Heart Nap Time!

Do the small things before they become big things

Tips to help take care of the little things from TheStressedMom.com

A stitch in time saves nine…

We’ve all heard that saying. And we may even nod our head at it. Makes sense, right?

It really is true, though. When you have a small hole in something, if you sew it up right away it will save you from having to make a major repair later. Have you ever thought about how this can apply to other areas of your life?

Many times, because we are in a hurry, we put off doing the one stitch when we first see the issue, only to be plagued by a much bigger problem [...]

Clear some clutter– 10 things you can throw away today

Clear some clutter -- 10 things you can get rid of right now -- from TheStressedMom.com

Wanna clear some clutter? Here are 10 things you have probably been hanging onto, or they are laying around your house by default.

1. Cans of old paint

We all have those cans of paint in the garage or basement. They’re great for touching up walls when they get chipped or scratched up. If you have repainted however, or you haven’t painted in several years, you could probably get rid of the old paint. Try patching a wall you painted years ago with the paint in the can, and you’ll see that it’s not a perfect match. The paint [...]
