How do floors get so yucky with just the two of us walking on them?!?!


So this has been my chosen cleaning weapon on my kitchen, entry, office, and three bathroom floors.

WHY WHY OH WHY??!

I can't believe I have not used this dandy little cleaning tool more.

I'm pretty confidentI have not used it due to my need for perfection in house cleaning. Right or wrong I feel like getting down and scrubbing my floor gets more germs off. My mom used to do it like that when she really did deep cleaning and I guess that always stuck with me. i love the feeling of a deep-cleaned house.

BUT I choose NOT to consider the fact that this pain-stakingly long and thorough cleaning process then only takes place -tops- of twice a month. Hummmm...

So pondering this, I ran to Target and decided to get a mop. I aim to used it at least once a week, to wipe away our summer, bare-footedness off the floors.

I was thrilled, because it actually did a fine cleaning job, and was quite speedy, easy on my back, and did I mention how FAST?!

What do you do "the old fashioned way" because of habit or way of thinking- but have discovered along the way, it isn't always neccessary or the best?

Captured Moments

This is the lazy way to update. Hopefully I'll be able to do a little better here soon.
These are family pictures from Easter weekend. Then Anna-Banana and I went to Washington DC for a long weekend.
It's been an amazing spring so far. And if you notice the ticker on the very far right column, that's what's been taking my posting gumption. :-) We think it's a good reason.

Always Twirl

This is exactly why  you should always, ALWAYS... twirl once in front of the mirror before  leaving the  house.   But just think how many people she  made smile throughout the day.    

Thanks Ang, for passing along this laugh. ;-)
