A Favorite Past-time

This post is sad and probably boring to anyone that is reading it, because it is about one of my favorite past-times…cleaning!!  I told you :)!!  I  have always loved to clean and especially to organize.  I love making something look so much better than it did before.  Growing up I actually wanted to be a maid.  I remember being at my aunts house and she would dress me up with an imitation white French maids hat and apron and I would clean away – I was in heaven!!  I would not mind if this was my grown-up job :).  When Abby and I shared a room when we were little I would split the room in half and clean my side until it was immaculate.  Then when my dad came home from work I would bring him into my room so that he could see how neat and tidy my side of the room was.  I could go on and on!  So of course I could not let spring roll by without a little spring cleaning!!!  And that is just what I have been doing this past week!

something I am wanting to add to my collection…

Maid Smart Labeled Sponges, how cute are these!!  There is a labeled sponge for the kitchen, floor, bathroom, and the wild card.  I found them on etsy @ nspjd

Oh my goodness...I need you to come help me out...I've always wanted to be tidy and neat, but I'm too right-brained or something-- no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to make it happen. I so admire people like you :)

I totally agree, I have always admired Ginni's immaculate house, but no matter how hard I try it never stays really clean and organized for long!

My FAVORITE cleaning product is SoftScrub with bleach!! It is the best stuff around! and it smells so clean!
