I genuinely love this time of year from November through the end of December. It’s always a busy time with cleaning, cooking, baking and shopping but I try to make it more simple each and every year.
I confess: it has been a problem most of my married life. I’ve tried several ways of dealing with this ‘problem’ and I could never find the right combination of events.
I’ve talked before about bleach and how it definitely has its place in washing and whitening laundry. But what if you have an item that won’t tolerate bleach? Such as lace or a delicate linen or an old handkerchief… There are a few options that you have as an alternative to bleach.
Are you a family that uses tablecloths and cloth napkins often? We mainly use them around the holiday season here at the Hill House. I think people (meaning me) often don’t use nicer cloths and napkins because we perceive it as work to get them ready for an event and then to get them clean after said event.
