Today is Winnie the Pooh Day and a Great Day to Learn How to Clean Stuffed Animals
To honor Winnie the Pooh Day (which is author A.A. Milne’s birthday, too!), we’d like to walk you through the most successful method of cleaning the many stuffed animals, including Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, Piglet, and so many more.
After all, what is more endearing than watching our kids and grandkids, nieces and nephews, and even pets, curl up with their favorite stuffed animals? The pure love, affection, and comfort that on display make us want to ensure they have those toys for a very long time. Remember, it was Pooh who said:
“Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart,” so let’s learn how to keep those little stuffed animals clean and safe for years or decades to come. They bring so much joy and can often become treasures, so let’s learn how to care for them over a lifetime!
Ugh! Everyone is Sick…How to Keep Beds Sanitary and Cozy
Ugh! Everyone is Sick…How to Keep Beds Sanitary and Cozy
According to Keren Landman, MD, it seems like everyone is sick right now. At least, we all have a few people in our lives who are battling “mild colds to more serious bugs.” And she’s right, the CDC recently released figures demonstrating that we’ve been “above baseline” in terms of reported respiratory illness for more than eight weeks.
This year we have RSV, flu, Covid-19 and a host of other suspects to deal with. Apparently, all of them are increasing a bit ahead of schedule and “a broader age group is turning up very sick, too.”
This means you may find yourself looking after someone, or even a few someones, stuck at home and combatting a seasonal illness. But, when someone is stuck at home on bed rest, it means that bedding could easily become a hiding spot for germs.
It’s National Spaghetti Day
It’s National Spaghetti Day…Time to Learn How to Tackle Tomato Sauce Stains!
While I’m a huge fan of any sort of pasta, including classic spaghetti with tomato sauce, I’m not a lover of the stains this dish so often leaves behind. In our shop, we spend a lot of time trying to get tomato stains out of clothing, tablecloths, and napkins.
Because of this, and in honor of National Spaghetti Day, we’d love to share our most effective, at-home remedies for eliminating the inevitable spot or stain from a tomato-based pasta sauce.
Stop Letting Errands Run You – January is “Get a Balanced Life Month”
Work-life balance…how often do you hear people offering up that little nugget as a “simple” solution to all problems?
The thing is, balance is easier said than done…right?
Well, enter the New Year and its opportunities to start anew and get in balance. Yet, it is also the time for that inevitable call for Resolutions. You know, those promises (or threats) you make to yourself, spend energy planning, and then feel horrible about dropping, failing, or quitting within the first weeks or months of the year?
If you find yourself stuck in the perennial cycle of entering January as a clean slate for starting a diet and exercise plan, finally getting finances in order, organizing your home, and all the rest…Stop it.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Stop. It. NOW.
