"There's no place like home" these are the words of eager Dorothy to return home from her colorful dream. This phrase definitely is the truth for many of us no matter how big or how small the house may be, but the house isn't what makes the home, it's the family that dwells within it. With this gift there come household responsibilities and duties. How to balance these duties and keep the house from utter chaos will all determine who is willing to chip in and stick with their specifically assigned duties.

Much of our paper clutter comes in the mailbox. It's so easy to let
stacks and stacks of it accumulate around the house. All you have to do
is set it down, thinking "I'll take care of this later." Don't do it!
It will only take seconds to sort through it immediately (if you don't
get distracted by that note from Aunt Josie). If you aren't urgently
needed somewhere right away (I know, that's a big "if" for a mama) sort
the mail on the spot.

If you read directions on how to care for a hardwood floor, you might
start to think that hardwood is an extremely high maintenance, high
strung kinda flooring. These directions will caution you to use only
the special cleaner especially designed for hardwood floors with your
type of finish (mostly polyurethane, nowadays). They will warn you to
eschew water coming in contact with your floor, and claim that your
hardwood floors must be cleaned with a dry mop (though some concede
that getting the mop slightly moist might be alright). Don't believe
everything you read, friends! Hardwood floors are really a hardworking,
blue collar kind of flooring. In real life, they can meld well with an
active family life. Read on for a real life look at cleaning and
maintaining your hardwood floors. Tags: hardwood floors cleaning clean flooring wood recipe cleaner |

We all want our homes to be clean right? But how safe are the products we use? I want everyone today to go to their kitchen
and look under the sink. Once you’re
there pull out you most commonly used spray cleaner, you know the one that you
use for just about everything, now read the back. Feel free to skip over all the things you
can’t pronounce but make sure to read all the warnings. If you’re like I was you have several of
these bottles and some contain little or no ingredient information. So what’s
in them?

When my daughter took her allergen sensitivity test, it was pretty easy
to tell that she was sensitive to dust mites. A big red bump raised up
quickly where they had scratched her skin with the dust mite allergen,
and it didn't take special training for me to realize she was very
allergic! The first place to start with ridding a house of dust mite
allergens is the allergic person's bedroom. Usually at least 8 hours of
the day is spent there, often much more. If you can make the bedroom a
place of respite, then allergy symptoms should decrease. Tags: stuffed animals dust mites allergies cleaning cleaning for allergies rid stuffed toys dust mites |
