So happy to hear! Thank you for taking the time to let me know. :)

I wouldn’t put these in a dryer. They have a lot of plastic inside and the plastic could melt

I’ve used warm water more in the hot side.

This one lasted 5 years

Yes! I’ve used Sunlight laundry detergent liquid or powder form. I’ve used dish soap too but only to spot clean it if the bag wasn’t that dirty.

Let me know how it turns out. I use this method every year and I haven’t had to buy my kids a lunch bag for 4 years or more. I even use a similar method for our backpacks and running shoes/sneakers. I have videos for those too if you need it. I wish you a great school year!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you!

That’s fantastic! I’m so happy it helped you save your lunch bag. I don’t like throwing things away too if it’s still good and I love it but you can probably tell that already. 😃. Thank you for letting me know.

Your manufacturer would have instructions on how to wash possible on their website. If not. Then I would not use this method for a backpack with a charging port. I would not immerse it in water. I would just spot clean it. Like using a spot treatment and wiping it off. You can make a paste out of the oxiclean by add a touch of water or you can buy any spot treatment products like Zout. Whatever, you do, don’t let water or product touch the electronic components of the backpack. Hope this helps. 💕

Wow! I wish they grew here. We love them! We always wait for the time they go on sale and buy a lot of them. Thank you for watching and hope you’re having a great day! 😃

I’m so glad you liked this video! 🎉

Hey Michelle, Sitting this one out because of some technical issue.sorting that out. Definitely want to do the next one with you. 💕

Glad it was helpful!

It’s so good to hear from you too! I have been so busy with the kids for the summer. They will be going back to in-person school and I was trying to do things with them over the summer but it left me so tired at the end of the night. My computer has also been finicky. It’s old. Saving up for a new one. Ooooh! Earl Grey is also one of my favourites. I haven’t tried it with lemon though. Sound soothing! Have you tried lady grey? It’s good too! Thanks!

@@JourneytoHomeSweetHome No, I haven't tried lady grey...it's the first time I hear about it actually ! Is it good ? Oh, you have to try Earl grey with lemon...is a must ! Soooo good ! My computer and cell phone are oldies as well lol they are 5 years old each....I was thinking I should put some money aside for an upgrade too ! 😂💰

Lady grey is really good. Try it and let me know. I’ll have to try the earl grey with lemon now. My computer is 12 years old. Definitely time for an upgrade. 😮

@@JourneytoHomeSweetHome 12 years old....that's an oldy ! Mine is 5 years old, it's still going for the time being but eventually I will have to replace it...I work in IT, so I use my laptop a lot ! BTW -- autumn seems to have finally arrived to Toronto, and I couldn't be happier ! It's warm tea season 😊😉

Thank you Sweetie!!!

Those toys gave us so much joy didn’t it? Now it’s time to let another child experience the same joy and make room for new memories to be made. Hugs♥️

I used to do that too then I decided to try this method. Now, I only throw them away if they are ripped or the zipper broke. Let me know how it goes for you. Happy cleaning! Hugs💕

I have so much to declutter since my youngest is now 10 and is outgrowing the toy phase. Kinda sad but kinda happy to get rid of things that aren’t serving us anymore. I love Melissa and Doug too! They’re good quality toys. Never break. Thanks for inviting me. I’ll definitely be participating in your September challenge. Hugs💕

Thank you!! 😃 I appreciate that. I’m so happy that you liked it.

Hi Michelle! I’ve just added my video to the playlist. Thanks for letting me know.

Thank you!! Thank you for giving me feedback on the last haul. It really helped my perspective. I’m really happy you liked this one too! 😃

Thank you so much! Yes, I wanted this video to be calm and inspiring so Yay! The song is called Touching Moments I believe. It's available to KZbinrs.

Hi Jennifer! That is fantastic! I’m so excited that you tried these. It makes me happy to know that this video was helpful to you. You are very welcome and I hope your family loves them as much as mine does. Hope to see you in my next video. 😊

They were a hit! Thank you!! Still can't believe I made that lol! Looking forward to trying your other recipes. Thank you ♥️

Awesome! You’re so welcome! Let me know how they turn out too. I love hearing your feedback and I’m so happy this helped you. Looking forward to seeing on my other videos. 😃

Thank you Sonja! The scones don’t last around here. My family loves them. Thanks for hosting this!

Thank you Sharon! Have a fantastic rest of your day. Thank you for taking the time to watch. 💕

Yes! It is a lot. I don’t usually spend this much but we had to replenish those big items you saw at the end and get those garden items. Doesn’t seem like a lot when you’re picking up the individual items but it adds up so quickly. Those larger items will last for months though. I’m so happy you loved this video. Do you think it would be better if I put the prices on the screen for each item as well as the total as the end?

@@JourneytoHomeSweetHome Hi Pearl ! Yes, I think it wouldn't hurt if you did ! I know it will be more time consuming from an editing standpoint, but I keep on thinking "I wish I had found these videos before coming to Canada, I would have learnt so much about what is being sold in Canada and its prices...". Think about it that way, with a future newcomer's glasses, how useful it"ll be to know all the prices !

Thank you so much for letting me know this. I don’t mind the editing if it’ll be useful. Also, do you like when I give meal ideas with the items? I’m trying to make these grocery hauls useful.

Thank you Sharon! Do you like to garden?

Welcome to my channel! Costco fruit is also fresh; that's what I like about buying produce from Costco. Our family loves loves loves strawberries and blueberries (blackberries and raspberries too!). I hope to see you in my next video! Take care friend. :)

I'm very glad it was helpful! You're welcome! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. It really means a lot. Hope to see you in my next video! Take care Friend! :)

I was so happy to get rid of those things I wasn't using or loving and I still have more to go through. Thank you watching and I hope to see you in my next video. Take care Friend! :)

Thank you!!!! I was going to participate but couldn’t get my video ready in time thank you for giving another week.

@@JourneytoHomeSweetHome it’s best to deploy it the first day but anytime is good just glad to have you participate!

Thank you!! I’m so happy that you enjoyed to video. I’m good. How are you? How are you enjoying the slightly warmer weather?

Patio season seems to be starting again ! I cannot wait for warmer daya to come ! How about you ? Ready to turn the bbq on in your backyard ? ;)

@@aguantecanada definitely! We bbq’d last weekend. I think that is the earliest in the year we’ve ever bbq’d.

Thanks so much for your feedback.

Thank you so much! You are so kind! I appreciate you and value your feedback. I liked being directly in the video again. I want to do more of that in the future. I still may do some that are just my voice but I do feel more connected when I show myself in the video. Did you like the seeing the organizing items I shared? 💕😃

@@JourneytoHomeSweetHome I did like the items ! Big fan of Dollarama and Dollar tree in here as well 🙋🏻‍♀️

Fantastic! I’ll definitely be doing more of these. 👍🏼

I am so happy you tried this. Thank you for the feedback! This always works for me and I’m so glad it could help you. I also have a video on washing your backpack in a similar way on the channel if you haven’t seen it. 💕
