    Getting Kids Inspired to Help with Earth Friendly Cleaning Products

    June 3, 2021 / No Comments

    This Earth Friendly Cleaning products post has been sponsored by Earth Brand which means I have been compensated. My opinion is all my own and it is truthful. My kids are inspired to clean again. That’s a rare thing typically, but during the pandemic, cleaning has taken on even greater importance first of all because everyone has been trying to up their sanitation game. Second of all cleaning is actually fulfilling because we have found a fun and effective new lineup of earth friendly cleaning products. Cleaning with Good Conscience Obviously, during this past 15 months, and the many many lock downs here in Ontario, we’ve all had more time…

    Take the 30-day Decluttering Challenge Now + Free Printable

    January 1, 2021 / No Comments

    Never have I ever needed a decluttering challenge more than I do right now. After months and months of pandemic life, spending more time at home and less leaving the house for school, work and life in general, the piles of clutter have become overwhelming. Holiday Clutter At this time of year, at Christmas, I also find myself frequently overwhelmed but the extra decorations and details that make the home festive but also visually cluttered. I feel like it’s impossible to do a minimalist Christmas. That’s okay, I think, but at the same time I live and work in my home and cannot really handle much more stuff. Why I…

    Replace Your Vacuum – When to Upgrade

    June 3, 2020 /

    Replace your vacuum when it’s worn out. That seems simple, right? However, the big question is when is a vacuum worn out? Should even wait until it’s worn out or should you upgrade after a few years? How long do vacuum cleaners even last? A slew of questions surrounds the idea of replacing your vacuum. That’s why you’re here. You need to know when to replace your vacuum. So let’s talk about that. Post contains affiliate links as a service to my readers.

    Clean All Your Messes Up with Hoover ONEPWR Floormate Jet

    December 7, 2019 /

    My kids are pretty crafty and creative. I’m not complaining. I actually love that about them and always have. What I don’t love though are the messes they create when making things. That’s why I am now loving the Hoover ONEPWR Floormate Jet. Post sponsored by Hoover, which means I received compensation. Crafty Teens are No Match for the Floormate Jet In my house, we have a desk in each of the kid’s bedrooms and we also have one in the basement too. Occasionally I like the opportunity to move around the house and work where I want to. I don’t always want to be confined to my office. The…

    I am a 2019 Hoover Brand ambassador and, as such, I received compensation for this post. My opinion is my own and it is also truthful. Happy Cleaning! Are you a happy cleaner? We all have that one friend, you know the one I mean, the friend who loves cleaning and finds it therapeutic. For the most part, I always thought those people were kind of kooky. Until recently anyways, when I found the new Hoover OnePWR Range. Hoover OnePWR range is a system of home appliances that has your whole home covered.

    Vacuuming Stairs and Other Hard to Reach Places with Hoover Impulse

    November 14, 2018 /

    Vacuuming stairs is nothing if not a challenge. It’s the hardest spot in your home to vacuum. We have a couple of steep and lengthy staircases and they get a lot of traffic so they need a good cleaning at least weekly. It’s so hard to get stairs clean. Sure many vacuums have hose attachments, but they’re rarely long enough to get all the way up the stairs. Which means at some point, I often do my Amazing Stair Balance Act wherein I simultaneously hold the vacuum in place with my feet while using both hands to vacuum the stairs. Of course, all of this has to happen without me tumbling…

    Deep Cleaning Carpets Quickly and Easily

    September 19, 2018 /

    I am a TTi Floor Care ambassador and as such I receive compensation and various other perks. My opinion is truthful. Deep cleaning carpets is a must if you want to keep your family healthy. Pet owners have dander to think about. People with allergies have to be cognizant of pollen traveling into the house and then settling in the carpet. Carpets feel so cozy on our feet, but really, they harbor all kinds of dirt and other nasty stuff that is sometimes unhealthy and gross. Until now I was outsourcing deep cleaning carpets here. Some weeks I barely have time to vacuum, so I used to pay for a…

    Dirt Devil Reach Max Plus 3-in-1 Makes Vacuuming Easier

    August 14, 2017 /

    Dirt Devil Reach Max Plus 3-in-1 makes vacuuming easier and lighter too. I’m not in to vacuuming. Not even a little bit. Truthfully, I’m not into a lot of domestic chores. I’d rather dust than do the vacuuming, and we all know how much more difficult that is. I think it’s because of all the cord hassle and having to lug the thing around. It gets annoying. In fact the weight of some heavy vacuums is completely a hassle. These days, vacuuming is less horrible for me now that I’m using the Dirt Devil Reach Max Plus 3-in-1.
