Find refreshment for your heart, home and life
I’m half way through the day and I have done two loads of laundry, ironed linens and put them away, and also pressed our clothes for the weekend. Then I got brave and peeked into the clothes hampers in our closets. I saw more dirty clothes wadded and waiting for the the Laundry Lady (that’s me!) to rescue them from the basket and repeat the process of my earlier hours.
Today’s video is a compilation of some of my favorite things. They’re a bit random, but from laundry duties to kitchen needs, we all have our favorite tools. I’m also sharing a couple of favorite ideas to show care and love for others. Watch the video below or you can view it on my You Tube Channel...

Thanks for stopping to watch!
I’m not sure why I didn’t realize a long time ago that bed pillows can be machine washed and dried! They really come out of the dryer so soft and fluffy, clean and fresh smelling that I can’t believe I didn’t do this before. I used to just pitch the pillow and buy new ones! Now I try to make a regular habit of throwing them in a nice warm wash and getting them fresh once again.
In your spring cleaning, be sure to gather up all the pillows and wash them, a few at a time, then keep up the routine through the year. Your beds will be nice and fresh and you might even sleep better!
Am I the only one who didn’t learn this until later in life?!
Stay refreshed,
Happy Friday, friends! Maybe you love Friday, until you look in your laundry baskets and find them all overflowing with dirty clothes, towels and kitchen linens from the previous week. Now this weekend you’ll spend most of Saturday getting caught up, knowing that in three days, it’s going to be flowing out into the hallway again!
Please forgive me if I’ve shared this already (I searched my blog and couldn’t find it, so I feel safe! I’m losing it!). One little thing I’ve begun doing in the last six months EVEN WITH JUST THE TWO OF US IN OUR HOUSE is doing one load of laundry every day. I alternate between dark clothes and whites. It might not always even be a big load, but if there’s enough to do even a small load, it’s going to be washed. The blessings of doing one load every day are:
I might add that I don’t do laundry on Sunday, but doing it six days a week has been a real help and refreshment! I hope it will help you, too!
What will you do to refresh your heart this weekend? I trust you’ll go to a Bible preaching church!
Stay refreshed,
