Dusting.
Once upon a time, when I had a 1 bedroom apartment and just me making it dirty, I dusted and cleaned every Saturday. It took me about 90 minutes.
Today I hit the living room for some cleaning - as well as trying to decorate the newly rearranged space. Dusting is not [...]

Things have been coming to a head here with me pushing a few things and feeling like I don’t have enough hours during the day to spend with the boys. Today we juggled a few things and it came down to exercise or cleaning….I chose exercise. Wouldn’t you?
I did sort through some more [...]

I spent some time going through my closet and weeding out clothes that I don’t wear, and won’t wear. Some sentimental favorites went into the donation pile. I also pulled some blankets out of our linen closet. You see, once you become a sewer, and one with children, blankets multiply in your [...]

Day 7 - Sunday
And then there was rest. But does a mother ever really rest? Not that I did anything specific that I can remember, but I’m sure there was laundry and dinner and dishes.
Day 8 - Monday
I really didn’t feel like doing anything today. Nothing. Nada. But I managed [...]

Well, today’s project really was more of a home improvement thing rather than cleaning. But since it’s part of getting my kitchen in ship shape, I thought I’d tackle it head on.
Painting…
There’s a spot on our kitchen wall where our cabinets were before we pulled out the bank over the top of [...]

The Fridge….
I’m actually pretty good about keeping the fridge clean. I have a tendency to wipe it out when it’s empty - like on the day before I go grocery shopping - or even the morning before I go. But I’m absolutely Type A about the organization of it. It helps me [...]

I’m hard pressed to believed that I’m still in it. Really, cleaning is the thing I hate most. My philosophy is, if it doesn’t have mold on it, it’s fine. Other than vacuuming, cooking, laundry and occasional bathroom wipe down, I’m totally not a cleaner. Too many better things to do.
So [...]

It’s been a month since we sang the song, since we paraded around the yard looking for the hidden treasure of his birthday gifts, since we wore silly hats and blew up balloons.
My little boy is four. Is he ever.
It seems like only yesterday that I was frantically trying to nurse him, staying up [...]

We were in the local Lowe’s store today. We needed a number of items to complete our bathroom project. But my job was appliance shopping. The items - dishwasher and stove.
Our home was built in 1985 and both of these items are original to the home. I’m certain they are far [...]

I did something resembling cleaning this morning. And you know how I hate cleaning. I had to do it. It wasn’t that long ago that I performed this cleaning chore, but with cold and flu season on its way, I knew that I needed to. I am so glad I did.
I [...]
