My task: compare the Swiffer Sweeper dry cloth refills and Swiffer WetJet pads with their store brand versions. I was excited to do this, because one of the Cleaning Nerdery facts that stood out to me most … [Read more...]

The Medicine Cabinet Cleanout (It was about time!)
I had been meaning to do this for a very long time. Like, a ridiculously long time. Every time I emptied the dishwasher and had to squeeze and push and finagle to get all my cups and glasses into the small amount of space available, I'd shoot a dirty look at the mess of meds and bandaids and vitamins stealing their rightful … [Read more...]
Reality Check 2/29
Happy Leap Day!!! I have three pic-heavy posts almost ready to go, but today is turning out to be wacko so they're not going to happen until later. And wacko = time for a reality-check post.

Replacing My Laundry Basket
I got a new laundry basket for my master bedroom. The one I'd been using had cracked, the handle was gone and clothes were getting snagged. So I replaced it. Replaced. Because I didn't need another laundry basket in there, just a different one. Actually, at the time, it was the only laundry basket in the entire house. The others had … [Read more...]
