Laundry is always on my mind. It’s always there, even the days when I think I’m caught up the “laundry makers” leave presents for me and I find I have more laundry that night. It’s the never ending job and if your in charge of the laundry at your house I’m sure you feel my pain.
My dryer is older and is on it’s way out. I’m just waiting for it to die off so I have an excuse to buy a new set of front loaders. But until then I’m trying to make the most of the ones I’ve got. We’ve taken it apart several times in the last year trying to extend the life of it and lucky for us it is hanging in there.
Every dryer has a lint filter. This is the metal mesh like net that catches all the lint and fluff that comes out of your clothing when it is in the dryer. With each load of laundry the filter collects lint and fluff. I change the filter every time I do a load of laundry. As lint builds up in the filter it prevents the air from circulating out of the dryer.
As the filter builds up with lint the dryer has to work harder to dry the clothes. This can result in turning the dryer on multiple times to dry a load of laundry and will cause the dryer to use more electricity and work less efficiently. Each time that happens its costing you more money. So in order to save some money make sure to clean the lint filter each time you change a load of laundry. I’m sure many of you do this but did you know in order to help extend the life of your dryer you can scrub your lint filter? To help make sure your filter is clean take the time to scrub it with hot soapy water occasionally. This will help to remove residue left from fabric dryer sheets and help it work even more efficiently. Who knew a little elbow grease and hot soapy water could be a money saver?

Life seems to just keep getting busier and busier. It never really feels like we have time to slow down and enjoy the time we have. I know most of this is probably my own fault. I could choose to have the kids involved in less activities and make time to enjoy life’s simple pleasures but the truth is it just isn’t going to happen this week.
So instead of hurrying dinner along handing out a quick PB & J or grabbing take out on the way home, I’ve been looking for ways to have dinner ready to go when we walk in the door. Dinner time is about the only time we are all together and I love every minute of it. I’ve found the use of the crock pot to slow cook dinner is a great option for having dinner ready on the nights I know are going to be busy.
The crock pot is a great tool to have in the kitchen because it helps you make the most of the time you have. It makes me feel like I’m saving time because I am able to prepare a meal when I’m not in a crunch for time. Using a crock pot you can easily prep dinner ahead of time. In my free time the night before or in the morning I’ll prepare dinner, this will ensure that one can come home to a homemade healthy dinner ready to go. I love that it takes the stress out of the question, “What are we having for dinner?”, which I am sure to hear as soon as we get home. This is a welcomed thought on busy nights when we are running from tennis to scouts, basketball, swimming etc.
With careful planning the use of the crock pot can be a great money saving tool as well. On a busy week night the use of the crock pot keeps us on schedule. The small amount of preparation keeps me from having to make a stop for fast food and there by keeps money in my bank account. I can easily make dinner for much less than I would spend in the drive through and still have leftovers for tomorrow’s lunches.
Recipe for the Crock pot:
BBQ Pork for Sandwiches
Ingredients:
1 (14oz) can beef broth
3 pounds boneless pork ribs
1 bottle BBQ sauce
Directions:
Pour beef broth into the slow cooker and add the boneless pork ribs. Cook on high for 4 hours, or until the meat shreds easily.
Place meat in a skillet and add BBQ sauce.
Bake in a preheated oven for 30 mins or until it is heated through.
