Alright mamas, I mentioned two home hacks this week – Night Light Outlet Covers and Folex Spot Cleaner. You all know I love a good mom hack, so I had to bring you one more.

I have always used the sticky felt pads for furniture, but this was recommended to me so it will be my immediate purchase after we get new dining chairs.

How do you get felt pads to stick to chair legs?

Are sticky felt pads constantly falling off your chair leg? I swear my ideal Halloween haunted house would include a circular felt pad on the floor and me running around to search every chair leg in the room for the location of the missing felt pad. I likely wouldn’t even need to dress up as I would have last nights dinner on my sweat shirt and my hair frazzled like I put my finger in an electric outlet (this is not recommended, do not try.)

If loosing a felt bottom chair glide also sounds similar to your October nightmare, take a look at this life hack an solution to get felt pads to stick to chair legs.

What are the best chair glides for hardwood floors?

If you are putting any time of furniture on hardwood floors, felt chair glides are the best. The best solution for not loosing a felt chair glide is by using a felt furniture glide with a nail.

A friend loved it so much, I made my mother in law pick them up after he sticky pads kept coming off, destroying her newly resurfaced wood floors. I felt awful seeing a black mark on her floors after two weeks of being re-done.

Nail on Felt Furniture Glides

These felt furniture pads for chairs include a nail so you put the pad right in the leg of the chair. My friends chair came with a cheap pad on the bottom and she took the chair pad off and replaced it with this felt pad for easy gliding across the floor.

With over 4,000 reviews and almost five stars, other people feel pretty strongly about furniture felt pads with nails. See some of the reviews.

One comment suggested if you have a preexisting hole, use a toothpick in the whole then add the felt chair pad.

Another said they were easy to install and look good on her chairs.

A rare, negative review said “they were not heavy duty” and the description was misleading.

You all know I love a good mom hack. Mom, dad, grandmother, grandfather, or single lady with a lot of cats, this fits them all (I can add to the list.) Since this is a “mom blog” I address you all the most.

Moving along, one of my newest mom hacks and life hacks for the home I cannot live without are these Outlet Covers with a Night Light. I am not talking about the night lights you plug in, I am talking about a lighted outlet cover.

What is amazing about the LED Night Light Outlet Cover is they are really easy to install. Like your only talent needs to be the ability to screw and unscrew a screw (say that 5 times!)

I shared with you in the past, how we adore these Stick on Stairway Lights for illuminating a dark stairwell. Only, in our new home our stairs were pretty lit and our hallways were dark. Nothing is worse, in the night, then having to turn on a light switch – can I Get an Amen?

Night Light Outlet Cover Plates

Take a look at these Must Have Home Decor Night Light Outlet Cover Plates. They come in a few different styles so you can personalize to your outlet shape.

Many outlets have two separate circles within the rectangular plate. If you have this style, pick up the Duplex Outlets Electrical Outlet Wall Plate with LED Night Lights.

If you have newer outlets, look at these Decor Outlets – Electrical Outlet Wall Plate with LED Night Lights.

Finally, if you want to try this out with a light switch, they also have Light Switch Plates Night Lights.

Folex Carpet Spot Remover | Home Decor Hack

January 19, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Amazon, Hacks, Online Shopping Leave a Comment

Is anyone else waiting for the white trend to go? With three boys, five kids in all, white terrifies me. Don’t get me wrong, I love the trend. It’s beautiful, peaceful, airy. I love it too much, in fact. This mom hack has been a little helpful.

When we first moved into our new home, I joined too many home decor Facebook groups. As if I needed more time on Facebook or any other social media platform. All of these groups have the most beautiful white couches and dining chairs, and light colored rugs. All I could imagine when seeing these magazine staged photos, were my mud-covered kids running through the halls. I would show these Instagram worthy homes what it looks like to be a mom of a lot of kids.

When looking for new dining chairs, my husband and I compromised. Only a touch of fabric but I would bring home my magic ingredient that Facebook group moms sore by – introducing Folex Carpet Spot Remover.

Your home too can look like every other Facebook and Instagram influencer, I silently told myself looking in the mirror that night.

How hard is it to keep a white house clean…

Only once answer, you guys. Hard! For real…

If you have anything that is nice in your home, try Folex Spot Remover. If you have a fabric in the home that will show any sort of stain (even if it is your son’s soccer clothes) give this secret weapon a try.

Best Spot Remover

Don’t believe me or my Facebook expert friends, read through some of the reviews on Folex. There are over 22,000, so be ready to spend some time. Of that huge list of spot remover reviews, there are an average of 4.5 stars. That is pretty amazing for such a large list of opinions.

One person’s Folex review said “this blow Resolve away!”

A second review said, ” it is free of an odor”

Another suggested for walls and surfaces, to stick with Mr. Clean Magic eraser. (I second this mom hack. I just had to erase a priceless piece of art on our wall made from orange Crayon.)

Currently, on Amazon, I do not see Folex Subscribe & Save yet. But when that bottle comes, you can be it will be on my reoccurring shipment list. Please Amazon, give us that gift!

You can purchase Folex Carpet Spot Remover on Amazon with one bottle, two bottles or three bottles. The best currently is three bottles at under $10 each (time stamp 1/19/21 at 12:30 PM ET.)

When you first use the product on a new fabric, test a small area first.

Find an Instagram influencer white house account and ask them how they keep their home free of spots? See what is the best spot remover they recommend? Come back and share with us your best spot remover too.

Together we can find the best mom hacks for ~~spring~~ cleaning the home year around.

I just wanted to show you really quick how my keys never come out of my bag! My car and house keys are on a Retractable Key Chain attached to a carabiner.

This is one of the best ways I keep my hands free, especially unloading three kids from car seats and carrying all their stuff! It especially saves me from loosing my keys. I always know they are attached to my bag with a carbineer.

This and my Mommy Hook Carabiner are probably my biggest life savers for keeping things out of my hands. See more in our Life Hacks.

Sunday Habits for Busy Moms to Have a Productive Week

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

January 2, 2021 by Kecia Hambrick Filed Under: Facebook, Frugal Living, Hacks, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media Leave a Comment

These Sunday habits for busy moms will help you stay productive all week long!

It’s no secret that moms lead a busy life. Whether you have one child or four, stay at home or work outside of it, there is always a list of things you need to do. And those lists never seem to completely go away. You mark off four tasks, and suddenly two or three more come up.

In order to stay (somewhat) on top of your busy schedule, you need to stay productive. You can do this by establishing good habits on Sundays. A typical calendar may start a week on Sunday, but most feel that Monday is actually day 1 – Monday is the first day of a new work week and it’s when the kids go back to school after the weekend, etc.

Sunday Habits for Busy Moms to Have a Productive Week

There is a good bit of “planning” and “doing” that should happen on Sundays if you want your week to go well. Let’s look at what needs to be planned every Sunday.

Sunday Planning

Goals
To-do list
Meals for the week
Outfits
Family budget
Exercise

Where can you keep all these plans? In The Busy Mom Binder of course!

The goals can be for yourself and for your family. Do you want to declutter the attic this week? Make a plan! Maybe little Johnny needs to sell 25 more candy bars for a fundraiser. Make a plan on how he will do it! Use the goals to help make your to-do list for the week.

The rest of the planning is self-explanatory, but deciding on these things on Sunday makes the entire week run smoother. No more washing clothes the night before your child needs to wear something specific to school the next day. No more “what are we having for dinner??” every night either!

Sunday Doing

With your planning finished, it’s time to do some things to prepare for a productive week. Here are some things you can do to lessen your weekly load.

Grocery shopping and meal prep
Clean and organize home
Clear out your email inbox
Wash and put away laundry
Go for a walk
Practice self care
Go to bed early

Doing these tasks ahead of time removes a lot of the guesswork or late-minute busyness that may come during the week. Meal prep can save you 30 minutes or more of standing in the kitchen on a busy Tuesday night. Doing up the laundry ensures everyone has fresh clothing to wear and that the planned outfits are ready to go.

To help you remember the important Sunday habits for busy moms, I’m offering a free printable list for my readers. This printable makes it easy for you to get all the Sunday tasks done so your week can be super productive. Print the list and keep it in your Busy Mom Binder or on the fridge – somewhere you will reference it each weekend.

I’ve also included a printable motivational quote from Mark Twain that says, “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” These Sunday habits allow you to do just that. Not only are you getting started, but you are getting things done so that you can prepare for a smooth week!

We Had a House Fire | My Busy Mom Solution

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

July 8, 2020 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Amazon, Hacks, Online Shopping Leave a Comment

I wanted to share with you my life lesson to hopefully become something that helps you and your family in the future – might even save someone’s life.

As some of you know, we moved in the middle of March. I quickly had an alarm system installed and decided not to go with the alarm systems smoke detectors. Instead I had an electrician come out for work and when he was out here, I had him look at our smoke detectors. I also replaced all of our smoke detectors batteries.

Smoke Detector Tip: Put 9-Volt Batteries on your Amazon Subscribe & Save every 6 months. That way you are reminded to change your smoke detectors twice a year!

We Had a Home Fire

Last week, I was home alone working. The kids were at the park, the cat and I were sitting in my office. All of a sudden the smoke detectors went off. Typically, my first instinct is to assume the battery. Only I smelt it. Something was burning. Immediately I called 911 and ran to a neighbors house to drop off our cat. The neighbor ran back with me and he shut down the electricity and HVAC circuit breakers while we tried to trace the source of the fire. We couldn’t find it and assumed the attic due to the top floor having the most odor.

After the fire department came out, we discovered our instincts were correct and the HVAC indoor unit had a small electrical fire in the attic. My neighbor shutting down electricity was the right thing and aided in changing our outcome.

Busy Mom Tips

The point of my email is to share lessons that I learned to help you too.

Lesson 1: Shutting Down the Electricity

First, if you are in a safe situation and you can access your home circuit breaker panel(s), flip the entire unit off. In our case, the breaker was the farthest thing form the electrical fire.

Lesson 2: Get Alerts When You Are Away

Second, I am not always home. I wanted a future solution in case I was out. I called my alarm company and they installed smoke systems that will alert my alarm company (the same detectors I declined before) and me if a fire occurs. Perhaps your alarm system has this type of smoke detector too.

Mobile Alert Smoke Detectors

Don’t have an alarm system. No worries. there are smoked detectors with mobile alerts. You could pick up this one I found on Amazon in my Home Store. This smoke detector sends text alerts to your phone if the smoke detector goes off.

A more expensive option is the Google Nest Protect smoke detector. It will also send an alert to your phone if the detector goes off.

If this fire happened while we were away, 911 would not have been called until it was visible to neighbors and at that point, maybe too late!

Lesson 3: Reminder – Smoke Rises

Lastly, I re-learned is that alarms are best at the highest point of the home (where ours went off) and at stairwells, as smoke rises.

All is okay. Shutting down the electricity prevented the electrical fire from continuing and spreading. The fire was contained in the unit. Our ceiling, roof and attic are otherwise okay. Want to know what I grabbed (other than the cat)? My computer. Only my computer from which I write you now.

Chances are if I was not home, our house would not be here today! Grateful to be able to write you all this email today. Quick thinking, Quick acting. My my lessons become future fire prevention for you!

Disclosure: I am not a fire expert, please contact your local fire department, your local electrician or the American Red Cross for fire safety tips.

Bake and Take Recipes | Meal Trains and Meal Exchanges

Tired of preparing dinner each night? Bake and take recipes might be your busy mom solution! Details on how to get a weeks worth of throw in the oven meals for your family. What is a meal train, dinner ideas for neighbors, and hosting a girls night out party with a meal exchange ideas.

Bake and Take Recipes

Bake and take can mean one of many things. It can be an opportunity where people get together for a meal exchange. A bake can take can be an easy recipe for a new baby meal train. It can be a meal recipe you for bringing dinner to neighbors who have medical issue or are experiencing tough times.

Whatever the reason, we have the best bake and take recipes for parties, meal trains, neighbors and friends.

Bake and Take Party

Fist let’s address a Bake and Take Party. This is most appropriate when you are not in quarantine. Similar to a cookie exchange, only a meal exchange. Invite 5 to 7 people (too many people can be quite challenging.)

For a meal exchange party, each person brings the same dish x number of times. For example, for five people, each person brings the same meal in five different disposable foil pans. Exchange meals among friends and at the end of the night, go home with five different dinners for your family. This meal exchange can be done by prepping or baking the dish ahead.

Another option for a take and bake party is you bring your ingredients. Together, friends can sip wine and prep five dishes. Each person goes home with a meal prepared that they can make later that week for their family.

Bonus if your final bake and take meals can be frozen for easy prep on a busy night. For for a take and bake recipe exchange party, you will need Freezer Bags and/or Aluminum Disposable Pans.

What is a Meal Train

I meal train is an effective way to organize meal giving to a person or family for births, surgeries, illnesses and during tough times. A friend group or family community comes together to coordinating dropping off a home-made meal for a family who could use help.

If cooking is not an option, alternatively, you could coordinating restaurant delivery (like pizza or a local restaurant) or send a restaurant gift card for the person/family to use at their own time and need.

Mealtrain.com is a great resource for creating a group meal sign up, organizing meal giving, and scheduling meals to a calendar.

Bringing Dinner to Neighbors

If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s the importance of those in close proximity like immediate family and neighbors. Bake and take recipes are great for neighbors. You can rotate the responsibility of meals, each person assigned a different night of the week. You can also, bless an elderly, sickly or a neighbor in trouble with the gift of a home cooked meal.

Consider hosting a bake and take party for the neighborhood or create a meal train for a neighbor who could a little extra help.

Social Distance Meals

Let’s take bake and take a step further. During quarantine and times of distancing, social distance meals are an option. Again, choose 5 to 7 people and each person is assigned a day.

The social distancing parties can work one of two ways. Let’s use our party of five people again.

Option 1

Each person is assigned a day. On your assigned day, that person prepares (and bakes) five of the same dinners. They drive to five separate houses leaving the dinner on the step or front porch. This gives each party goer five nights of meals, only preparing dinner one night.

Option 2

Similar to a meal train, each person signs up for one day to bless a friend/neighbor in need with a meal. That person is assigned the job of putting a meal on the porch for the calendar date they have scheduled.

Bake and Take Recipe Ideas

For bake and take recipes, it is very important to know allergy and diet restrictions. We looked for easy recipes, casserole dishes, or throw in the oven meals that were free from many common allergies. Before hosting a bake and take party or meal train, get each persons dietary restrictions and any foods for which they may have an allergy.

Things To Do While Camping at Night

Get creative with these fun nighttime camping activities that go beyond the standard board game and ghost story.

Paint glow in the dark walking sticks. By day you see nothing, by night a fun glow! You can use a glow in the dark paint, glow in the dark spray or even glow in the dark tape. | Creek Line House

During the day, talk about constellations. What is a constellation? a group of stars forming a recognizable pattern that is traditionally named after its apparent form or identified with a mythological figure.

While it is light outside, make this camp craft, a Stellar Constellation Viewer for Kids. At night, stargaze around the campfire and talk about the constellations on your viewer that you also see in the night sky.

Make dessert! Everyone loves a classic s’more recipe. Once the sun goes down, twist up your camping dessert recipe with our Campfire Cones! Less messy (maybe) and fun!

Want to try something different? Make colored fire. Packages of colored fire crystals or pine cones are sold at most camping supply stores or online on amazon. If you want to make your own, you can visit these DIY colored fire ingredients.

When thinking about things to do while camping at night, don’t forget story time. Use a flashlight and your tent to make a shadow puppets show. This How to Make a Shadow Puppet tutorial is very helpful. | Fine Art America

Outdoor Games at Night

Get ready for a strike with this glow in the dark bowling game using glow sticks and 2-liter water bottles. (As seen in our Summer Bucket List.) | Growing a Jeweled Rose

Have wondered how to play Flashlight Tag outdoors? We have the answers, great for camping it is similar to Flashlight hide-and-seek.

Flashlight Tag Directions: Similar to hide and seek. Everyone carries their own flashlight but only the person who is IT has their’s on. Instead of tagging with hands, you tag with light. Once you’ve been tagged, you turn on your flashlight, point it toward the sky and stand still. Another player can free you by crawling in between your legs (or tagging you). Once everyone is frozen IT wins and the game starts.

Before everyone hides, establish a perimeter (area you cannot go past.) This is especially important for campsites or unfamiliar areas.

We have plenty of other games you can play! Print our night games for youth. This includes Glow Sardines, Flashlight Tag, Gloweyball, Ghost in the Graveyard, Firefly, Kick the Can in the Dark, and Night Statues.
