Y’all should know by now that I’m good at keepin’ it real. I don’t portray some kind of fairy-tale life here. We live in a dusty house – I hate to dust…so therefore I am waiting until Annie is old enough to do it for us. 😉
I don’t Spring clean – I never have. And I imagine I’m not the only one out there. So, today I’m going to tell you how I keep our home clean without doing it. if you’re like me, you will benefit so much from Chloe’s Cleaning Company services. For junk removal service Roanoke and beyond, call Roanoke Junk Removal & Dumpster Rental.
Also realize that “clean” is a relative term. As I sit here, I can see dust, dust bunnies, and dust elephants…and grass because Barry mowed last night. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd, something over there in the corner that’s unrecognizable. But, my children are fed and happy – and I made a cake today – life is pretty much awesome. 🙂
Hop on over to Keeper of the Home to read about my cleaning methods. Here is just a little preview:
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…my goal in our home is to make sure we don’t live in a dump hole. At this stage of my life, with two little children and a messy dog, good enough has become good enough for me. When I’m 93, I won’t look back and say “Well honey, I sure do wish I had spring cleaned our house in 2013…I really missed out.” —> Read More
Healthy perspective. If you spend your childrens’ entire childhood with a duster and mop in hand, that’s how they’ll remember you. It sounds like your priorities are in order!
🙂 Thanks.
just wondering if you have a lot of vegie recipes in your crock pot cookbook. I have a budding vegetarian and since I am going back to school in Aug I’d really love to use my crock pot to have dinner ready without a lot of hands on time.
Here’s a full list of recipes in the book: http://www.stacymakescents.com/crockon/the-recipes
Just a thought – I know your daughter is still pretty young, but, if you put a pair of old socks on her arms, she becomes a dusting machine! 🙂 I did this with both of my sons when they wanted to “help out” (and man, do I miss those days!), and it turned dusting into a game. Who cares if everything gets completely cleaned off…like you said, at least the house isn’t a dump. It’s the effort that counts.
Bingo – I’m already head of you…been getting her to dust with me for months…because I plan on handing it off to her in a year or so. 🙂
Thank you for sharing that you’re not a clean-freak mom…it makes me feel less guilty about my far from clean home as well. =) No I didn’t get all the cleaning done over the weekend that I hoped to, but hey I finished 2 books, took my daughter to the park and roller skating, cleaned out my car, AND made a really good home-cooked meal (which usually happens on the weekend since I have a full-time job during the week) AND dessert (carmelitas – holy yum!). Yeah, my windows only get cleaned maybe once a year, and the place only dusted every couple of weeks, but I’m ok with that (taking a deep breath). *LOL*
Once a year? You’re totally beating me on that one.
