🎒 Tip of the Month: The Backpack & Shoe Station Reset
August brings a sudden influx of backpacks, sports gear, and shoes cluttering entryways and mudrooms. Before the morning school rush creates daily chaos, here is a quick, highly effective hack to keep fabric bags and entryway bins fresh and odor-free:
The Tea Bag & Rice Trick:
Fill a small, breathable sachet or cotton sock with dry white rice and a few drops of tea tree or lavender essential oil (or drop in two dry herbal tea bags). Toss one into the bottom of school backpacks, gym bags, or shoe cubbies overnight.
Why it works: Dry rice acts as a natural desiccant, pulling out trapped humidity and moisture from sweat or rainy days, while the essential oils neutralize bacteria and leave a subtle, fresh scent without harsh chemical sprays.

The Dog Days Of Summer
The phrase "Dog Days of Summer" refers to the hot, sultry days of August. It originates from ancient Greece and Rome, where people believed the alignment of Sirius (the Dog Star) with the sun added extra heat to the hot summer days!
