It was about time, don’t you think? Anyway, HGTV has become a part of my daily routine because I’ve been entering daily to win their <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/dream-home/index.html">2012 Dream Home</a>.  Who wouldn’t love to have multiple homes plus I would be the envy of all my friends if I won. You could all come and visit<img alt="Smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-dApALTttC0E/TxWZ-a7l87I/AAAAAAAACbs/DjJnWW3lKVk/wlEmoticon-smile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;" />.  Ok, I know i’m getting ahead of myself here, but you know the power of positive thinking…<br />So, today’s post is really about the magazine issue that is available on news stands today. It’s filled with lots of invaluable tips that could make housekeeping a bit less hectic. I know I can use all the help I can get (especially with a baby on board too)Here’s a snippet of what you’ll find…<br /><br /><b><u><span style="background-color: #4bacc6; font-size: large;">Dirty Little Laundry Secrets from the Pros:</span></u></b><br /><b><u><span style="background-color: #4bacc6; font-size: large;"><br /></span></u></b><br /><strong><u><span style="background-color: #4bacc6; font-size: x-large;"></span></u></strong><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBS4huuzNFrArua6_VMHze-dhwTnY_dSVYDvBCyoil89_PvdCFusZFzp1gjNfLCziGjHYeaKiYbLfMPtiw9UmrZTlEdyXcvsHeEbH1BvSJS04UhRNo8FIawH91XYT2eM_UDbJxCCKcu7I6/s1600-h/LR%25255B7%25255D.png"><img alt="LR" border="0" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmIV5lInkBmvmYhhY7nJvqUduLdbjuIb8OUx4pVQkq30k8OmaCnsloHOQqFFYz2O9dvMWWojzn3V0SwLIahN_rNpiXfScT2XSMHaCoiywXGYHhIhxUfwH6vYyly1BT1_dIwFJRwBVqisjB/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="LR" width="698" /></a><br /><div align="center"><u></u><span style="font-size: xx-small;">meet my dream laundry room (via houzz)</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><b>-A sink for hand-washing</b>: A two minute soak in the sink isn’t enough. You need to soak stains for at least 10-30 minutes to really make a difference. <u></u><u></u></span><br /><u></u><span style="font-size: small;">- <u></u><b>Bins for sorting</b>: Don’t just separate by color but also by material.

Using too much detergent can actually make your clothes dirtier.<u></u><u></u></span><br /><u></u><span style="font-size: small;">- <u></u><b>3 stain busters to have on hand</b>: Rubbing alcohol for ink.

First pull out all stray hairs with a comb. Fill a sink with warm water and a squirt of soap or mild shampoo, and soak your brush for 15 minutes.
