I have virtually no time for anything anymore. Now that Lizzie is in school all day and then has ballet directly afterward, my time is way more pinched. Can you relate? I know it will just get worse as my children get older and involved in more activities.
I am already a huge fan of Arm & Hammer baking soda. I found some beauty uses for baking soda. Well, now I am going to share the way it can save you time.

I will be sharing a few of her tips as well as some others my friends and family shared. Please share your ideas with me in the comments too! There is no such thing as too many time-saving tips!
