    Oh, Sarah, I so appreciate your love of home and homemaking. After being married for 53 Years, I can say I love caring for our home. Making it comfortable and welcoming for our children, grandchildren and friends. I don’t do as much cleaning before we leave home as you do, but I do make sure all is neat for when we return. We use mostly Tide, but I am looking to change, and will give Arm and Hammer a try based on your recommendation. I do not use fabric softener, but I use wool dryer balls in the dryer and I think they work very well, no static and you can put a drop or two of essential oils on them and gently scent the laundry. Hope you have a. Wonderful vacation. Safe travels.

    I love watching you clean ...it’s so relaxing. You have such a calm demeanor Sarah. I loved being a stay at home Mom and taking care of my home. My children are grown now and on their own, I miss the days of their childhood. Being a Mom and rearing your children is the most important job. Wishing you and your family a lovely, relaxing vacation.

I think it’s the best smelling and the best value. Your home always looks perfect and so beautiful. Enjoy your vacation. God bless.
