I'm on a roll. At least I think I am.
I have discovered 'clumping' cat litter! My shrink is actually the one who clued me in to this. I have been struggling to lift the cat box and empty the old litter then dumping in a heavy bag of the fresh stuff.
This clumping litter is amazing! I switched yesterday and scooped out the neatest little clumps of unrecognizable waste this morning. All that's required is adding a little more of the litter when it gets low! I can do that without wrecking myself.
Strolling down the aisles at Dollar General, I noticed a small bottle of the kind of inexpensive laundry detergent I use. 21 loads for a buck. Being the economical shopper that I am, I always buy the biggest, heaviest bottle for the savings. Then...I hurt myself lifting it, of course.
I plan to use only this little, light weight bottle and have my boys refill it from the giant jug I bought last week! This is going to be so much easier!
I am so pleased with myself.....

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
good idea about refilling bottles of detergent - i was still buying a small bottle then transferring to an old water bottle which was 2 loads worth which is my limit. i have to carry mine down (by elevator) so i have to find a better way to get it downstairs if anyone has an idea.
already on the cooking thread i mentioned that i try to prep as much as i can on a good day and use a lot of storage bags.
my immersion blender has a little attachment like a small food processor, so i can use that to chop onions, garlic and veggies - well worth it b/c it's so multi-purpose and i have so little space.
everyone, please share more movement and energy saving tips here. you never know what wisdom we all have here to share!
