This post is sponsored by Scrubbing Bubbles®. Nothing gets my cleaning juices flowing like knowing my doorbell is about to ring. The doorbell that gets my attention the fastest is the one that signals guests have arrived for a holiday celebration. I've come a long way in my home. I'm willing to open my front door with minimal notice. …

Adding a Little (Swiffer) Green to My Decor
This post is sponsored by Swiffer and Febreze! Almost exactly one year ago, on Mother's Day, this super shedder (I almost wrote "shredder" which is also true), joined our family. My dog history is that I desperately wanted one as a child, but never got one. Tears were shed to no avail. I grew up dogless. I did have a pair of birds at …
Behind the Scenes of Fostering Dogs #dontsweatyourpet #swifferfanatic (Sponsored post)
This post is sponsored by Swiffer. There are some common threads among those who relate to what I share about cleaning and organizing.

Scared to take the Pet Plunge? Don’t be. #dontsweatyourpet
This post is sponsored by Swiffer and Febreze! If you want to be fascinating, get a dog. Cinder thinks I'm the most interesting person on the planet. This is what I found when I left the bathroom. (I won't share the photo I could have taken a few minutes before.) She couldn't wait to see me. I'm also fascinating when I …

This is especially awesome when you have a party scheduled for the weekend. Know what's not awesome? When it rains from Thursday evening until party time, and the family …
What I Learned at the Febreze Safety Immersion
Thanks to Febreze for sending me to this event and sponsoring this post. Y’all know my thoughts on smells/scents. I’m generally not a fan of breathing in anything other than air. But since being a member of the Cleaning Collective for P&G, which includes Febreze products, I’ve had a lot more scent in my home than I had before. This is …
Spring Cleaning/Decluttering – Dust Covered Clutter? Or Clutter Covered Dust?
I decided to use a recent burst of spring cleaning energy to tackle a problem area in my master bedroom. Sometimes “spring cleaning energy” is best used on a decluttering project I’ve been avoiding. I’d had the great (<-sarcasm) idea to put a table in the corner, next to my side of the bed. My super-logical reasoning was something about needing …
Spring Cleaning Tips Using Great Products from P&G and Walgreens!
Thanks to Proctor & Gamble and Walgreens for sponsoring this post! Spring weather (when it actually arrives) gives me the itch to clean things I’ve successfully ignored over the winter months. Suddenly, messes that were small annoyances become crazy obvious and scream out to be CLEANED! Walgreens and P&G are partnering to offer …
Facing Modern Laundry Challenges: Tide vs. Washing with Baking Soda and Vinegar
This blog post was created in partnership with Tide. Y’all know that cleaning doesn’t come naturally to me. I’m constantly searching for the very best way to clean everything, including clothes. When I heard that adding something I have in my pantry, like vinegar, to bargain detergent makes it clean clothes better, I was ready to try it. …
