Doing laundry is required. Ironing is (usually) optional. I actually don't hate ironing as long as I have plenty of time available to do it properly. And as long as there's no clutter piled on the ironing board. Hahahahaha!!! As if! Plenty of time . . . do it properly . . . no clutter?!?! (Let me catch my breath!) Here are ways I've … [Read more...]
My Laundry Room Before and After and New Samsung Washer/Dryer Set from Nebraska Furniture Mart! (a sponsored post)
My Laundry Room could have been worse, y'all. But it was bad enough. Bad enough for its own regularly scheduled decluttering/rearranging/general-clean-up post. The need became urgent when I received an exceedingly lovely email from Nebraska Furniture Mart (a HUGEmongous furniture-and-more store here in the Dallas area and in other areas of … [Read more...]
Bleach Tablets by Clean Shot – How Do They Work?
This is a sponsored post, but the opinions and messes are all mine. It was Chicken Day and I needed to try out Clean Shot Bleach Tablets. Talk about two tasks that go together perfectly. I'm a big fan of buying chicken in bulk and then trimming it all, cooking a bunch, and bagging a bunch all in one day. It's so much work on the day when … [Read more...]
The Test: Swiffer Vs. Store Brands (a sponsored post that motivated me to clean my bathroom)
I'm a Swiffer Ambassador this year, and my latest assignment motivated me to tackle two spots I prefer to ignore. I'm calling that a win. 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...]
Crazy Mama to Sane Mama in Less than 24 Hours – Renting a Rug Doctor and Using the Rug Doctor Spot Cleaner (A Sponsored but Necessary Post)
It's a sponsored post, y'all. But unfortunately, the problem I solved was completely naturally occurring. Have you noticed the oh-my-word-can-things-please-stop-happening-I-need-to-write-a-BOOK theme around here lately? Don’t feel bad, my house hasn’t noticed either. I am overwhelmed with the normal aspects of finishing a 60,000 word … [Read more...]

Dealing with Mold in My Enclosed Porch (Ugh.) Concrobium Mold Control to the Rescue
I'd been pretending this didn't exist. Blergh. We had an intensely rainy May, and a leak in our enclosed porch meant this room was icky and damp for that entire month. The walls had mold on them. Blech. But then summer happened, and with the intense Texas heat no one spends any time in that room (it isn't air conditioned), so I … [Read more...]
Loving the Swiffer Effect
Last month, I traveled to Cinncinati, Ohio, to learn about all things Swiffer as a paid brand ambassador for Swiffer. They're calling us Swiffer Fanatics! While I’d normally not be able to travel in the summer, the timing worked out just right as my kids were already headed to Cousins’ Camp with my parents for the days I’d be gone! I had so much … [Read more...]

Father's Day was Sunday. This year, Hubby got a new mower! Toro happens to have a really cool one that takes up significantly less storage space AND we needed a new mower AND it just so happened to be Father's Day. Translation: This is a sponsored post for Toro that came at just the perfect time! This was the Lawn Equipment Storage (etc. … [Read more...]
