Jeans will just slide around on a regular clothes hanger, bunch on the end and cause the hangers to tangle. That sure makes for a mess in the closet. But come see how I use a child-sized hanger to keep my closet nice & tidy!

Cleaning – we’ve all gotta do it #amiright??!! My favorite cleaner is much simplified from my younger days.
Back then I’d prance down the highly-scented cleaning aisle picking up whichever cleaner spray had the most eye-catching label.
But I recently wrote about how cleaning has become complicated. So my cleaner of choice these days is a repurposed spray bottle with soap & water.
But sometimes when I’m using that cleaning spray and I’m closer to the bottom of the mixture I have a hard time getting it to spray.
I mean, when you tilt that bottle and the spray nozzle attachment doesn’t reach all the way into the cleaner, whaddya do?
Oh I’m so glad you asked. Check out this homestead hack, y’all.

RancherMan & I like our morning coffee. A lot.
Each morning before we begin our outside homestead chores we complete our computer work inside while enjoying those hot steamin’ cups o joe.
When we’ve had our fill for the morning (Ok, after SEVERAL cups. OK TWO POTS – don’t judge me!) we rinse out our coffee mugs and place them on a shelf to await our morning coffee routine the following day.
But after a couple of days the coffee-bean oils begin to coat and stain the cup.
Never fear, there’s an easy and natural way to bring that coffee mug back to its previous sparkling perfection. And I use a natural ingredient that in all probability you have sitting in your kitchen right now! Check out today’s Homestead Hack demonstration…
