So fresh and so clean....clean

Posted by Christina // 4 Replies

Our house is so super clean now.
I know my mom doesn’t believe me right now because of how often I got grounded long ago for having a messy room.

We did not host Thanksgiving, and we did not have company.

I just felt like cleaning.

I am talking Magic-Erase-every-baseboard-in-the-house-type cleaning here folks, not my usual routine of Febreze and fluff.

I realized I have a few go-to tools that I absolutely adore.
I wanted to share them because I love them but I also want your advice.

You will see that none of these are “green” cleaners.  Bummer.

1–2–3–4–5–6

My super secret-weapon is number three.  Those wallflower plug-in scent thingys make your house smell amazing without having to light a bunch of candles.

So since you all are the smartest people I know…I want your tips.

Your favorite cleaning products, and if you have found anything like my favorites that happen to be good for the planet.  You know, because I am all for saving our homeland.  What’s up with it…tell me all your secrets.

How do you keep your home so fresh & so clean?

ps….no one paid us to say nice things, it is just what we use and love.

Remember book reports....

Reading Hunger Games ruined all other books for me. If you haven’t read the trilogy, just do it.
I avoided it for a long time because it was what I deemed “the cool thing to do” and I like to go against the grain.

I caved when The Petersiks said they not only read it, but loved it.

Peer pressure will get you every time.

Those books blew my mind. Nothing compared…I’ve read five books since then and none of them captivated me like Katniss battling roses and junk.

Until now.
I found one. This book made me want to read it, all of it…in one day.

It is basically a Dateline special told from the crazy person’s point of view.  A girl goes missing, bet you would have never guessed.

I love how it is written.  It’s quirky, like they are talking to you with no big words that came out of a thesaurus to confuse you.  Be prepared for shocking dirty laundry to be thrown at you which leads to moments of oh-no-they-didn’t insanity.

If you aren’t hooked right off the bat…just keep reading. If you have ever felt crazy….read this book and you will feel much better about your life.  If you are in a rocky relationship, do not…I repeat do not read this book for ideas because you will end up with a terrible mug shot all over tv, and your mom will be so disappointed.

Has anyone else read this book?  What did you think?
What’s the best book you have read lately?
I need my next good read.
