We moved recently. I'll be sharing more about that process soon, but here's the short story: We found our dream home and we jumped on it. But the reality of a dream home we could afford was that it's older than the one we had before. It's also a little bigger. As we set up this house, I'm trying to apply the things I learned about myself … [Read more...]
Using Hoover ONEPWR for Spring/Anytime Cleaning! (and a giveaway!)
Hoover sent me three products to try out and is sponsoring this post. The opinions and the messes are mine, though. All mine. Sometimes timing just works out so well. It's spring, which means cleaning just feels "right" even though cleaning doesn't technically have a season. I recently received three cleaning tools from Hoover to test … [Read more...]
Thanks, But I’d Rather Clean the Bathroom
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. … [Read more...]
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 … [Read more...]
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. They are lovely people with great intentions about lots of things in life, not just cleaning and organizing. Really. One of the most exciting things about sharing my deep dark secret on the world wide web … [Read more...]
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 … [Read more...]
That Nervewracking Time Between a Clean House and a Party (especially with pets!)
This post is sponsored by Swiffer. The dogs and their messy paws are all mine. Know what's awesome? When your house is at the cleanest it can be on Thursday evening. 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 … [Read more...]
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 … [Read more...]
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 … [Read more...]
