Number 1: I am done with our Taxes!!! Woohoo! Since we own our own business, our taxes are not "easy-peasy", and I dread them because we usually have to pay in self-employment taxes for things like Medicare and all that down the road. Well, I should not have dreaded them that long. I forgot about something we had this past year. A little thing we nicknamed our sweet, little tax deduction! The Baby! This is the first year in a decade we've gotten anything back. We really shouldn't have waited this long to do them! Ha!
Number 2: Tonight is Date Night!
Number 3: The Baby is done teething. All week, he's been trying to break through his second tooth on the bottom. It has been incredibly
Number 4: This is the most important, and I need your help with this one. Yesterday, as I was taking laundry out of the dryer, I noticed a Bouty Paper Towel still intact, that looked almost brand new. Conversation that followed:
Me: Husband, I found a paper towel in the dryer that made it through the wash and dry cycle in one piece. It looks almost brand-new. Those things really do hold up!
Captain: Well, maybe we should start washing and reusing them.
Me: Hmm... good idea.
Captain: Why do we even USE paper towels? I mean, we use CLOTH diapers!!!
Me: Very true... I will look for a solution to that.
So, RT Blog Readers, I need some ideas. I love the easy usage of paper towels, how you can just rip one off and have it be fresh and clean. I hate having damp towels hanging around. I have NO storage and not much money. I thought of maybe a way to have fresh clean towels on a roll like the paper towels? Any ideas?
Don't worry.. we're not going to replace our toilet paper either (at least not yet muhahaha) with Family Cloth yet. :)
Thank you dear readers for your help in this! Your ideas for my hair were AWESOME! I hope to be back to posting more Random Thoughts this next week!
In a penny-pinching mood, we have given up paper towels for the last two weeks. With a stack of rags nearby (old socks and underwear can be recycled this way) and a couple extra dishtowels, we have done pretty well. I think I might bring them back into the house (we use the ones with recycled content) but I will reach for a towel first!
