You're great :) Thanks for considering buying the washable liners - you can find them at Target :) And I just washed ours - in the washer - for the first time this past weekend (inspired by you and Shan to do some Spring cleaning) and it worked wonderfully! It looked brand new upon exiting the washer. YAY!! :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14768231810808088215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134284938028045226.post-26067351577272849582009-04-06T11:43:00.000-07:002009-04-06T11:43:00.000-07:00Nic- if you happen to be planning on donating your...Nic- if you happen to be planning on donating your bridesmaid dress from my wedding, could I have it instead? If that wasnt the dress you were talking about nevermind! But if it is, I'd love to have one of the bridesmaid dresses from our wedding, to put in Molly's "dress up" drawer one day!<BR/><BR/>PS.

I don't think we have alot of leftover food but I have to check...When I do winter clothes changeover to summer clothes I'm going to go through clothes and donate some...its ridiculous how many sweatshirts martin has! he has like 5 racks of clothes filled and overflowed and then a closet filled also.

Especially kids cuz they dont even get school lunches when they are home!:(<BR/><BR/>donate donate donate!!!<BR/>purge purge purge!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724525798896434318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3134284938028045226.post-63350910545358549612009-04-02T11:30:00.000-07:002009-04-02T11:30:00.000-07:00Hi Nik!

Dave and I recently switched to washable shower curtain liners. I read that the vinyl liners release more volatile organic compounds (VOCs - cause adverse health effects) into indoor air than recommended by the EPA, making the air inside not good for breathing.<BR/><BR/>http://www.epa.gov/iaq/voc.html<BR/><BR/>In addition to the washable liners being better for air quality, they also do not develop mildew anywhere near as fast as vinyl liners. So far, we are really pleased with the switch, and I imagine our lungs are, too :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting this!! I need to get cleaning and you and Shan are providing great motivation!
