How to Remove Mildew From Clothes or Baby Blankets (without ruining them!)
I never had mildew before I had baby
But then again, there are lots of things I never had before I had a baby (uneven boobs, for example) and I guess new things come with the territory.
It’s been about 1072 degrees here this month, and I am trying REALLY hard to stay on top of the laundry… but failing apparently. 1072 degrees + an abundance of wet spit-up baby things = mildew.

There’s good reasons why the decluttering movement is such a BIG one.
In our current consumer driven age, it’s not hard to find yourself buried in piles of stuff – without even realizing it’s happening!

I am a thrift store shopper. I love that I can have LOTS of NICE clothes for a fraction of what they would have cost new. I love that I don’t have to be limited to the 2 pairs of jeans per year I would probably buy if I couldn’t get them from thrift shops.
