At our house, one of the big secrets to a clean kitchen is making sure the kitchen is clean right after dinner. Makes sense, right? It also makes sense that I’m not the only one cleaning. Typically on week nights, I’m the one cooking, so I don’t like to be the only one cleaning! It […]
Wood Floors: Care & Cleaning
I love the look of wood floors, but you do have to be a little picky with how you take care of them. Most wood floors don’t allow you to take a wet mop to them, but they still get dirty … and scratched. Years ago, in our first home with wood floors, I was […]
Patch and Paint Nail Holes
So, I put up a collage wall, and then hated where it was, so I moved it to a different wall. Also, we replaced the old curtain rods and moved the brackets. All of that meant a lot of nail holes to patch up on the walls of the living room. This was actually a […]

All About Dusting …
Growing up, when I’d offer to help clean the house, the chore my mom gave me was dusting. It was the chore she hated and so I learned to love it. I have things that I kind of hate and tend to delegate, like sweeping and taking out the trash, and so certain kids of […]
Clean Makeup Brushes with Stuff in Your Kitchen
When my foundation brushes are so packed with makeup that I start using my fingers instead, it’s a good indication I need to wash my brushes. I’ve tried a million expensive brush cleaners, but none work as well as stuff already in my kitchen: dish soap. And then when I add a kitchen strainer to […]
