We were running a tight schedule today, and needed to be out of the house for 4 hours while all the ants that have been torturing me died a slow and painful death with the bug bombs. Since I’m a morning runner, this meant a 6 am run - something I haven’t done in [...]

Back to the bathrooms….I hit the kids bathroom and our master bath today. Both are old and the enamel has worn some from the tubs - most noticeably in ours where it’s impossible to make that tub look clean. It is one of the reasons that I find myself “skipping the tub” in [...]

I am challenging myself to clean something for a minimum 30 minutes every day beyond my usual cleaning cycle. I will delve to every nook and cranny. I will scrub, dust and remove dirt. I will do this M-F for the next 4 weeks during Little E’s naptime.
Today, I cleaned the downstairs [...]

I always wanted to leave my hometown when I was growing up. My actual hometown was tucked in among a string of various sized small towns ranging in populations from 300 to 7,000. All of these towns popped up along the iron range - the length of the largest iron vein in the [...]
