Spring Cleaning Challenge - Day 12, Kitchen Floors

Wow! Tomorrow your kitchen will be clean! No more grease! No more dried food particles! What a fantastic feeling! My oven is cranked up to 500 degrees as we speak, and It does not smell pretty! I am catching up on yesterday's task and wow, did it ever need it. The oven has been smoking all week, because of something that got spilled in the bottom. I am excited to finish up in the kitchen and move on to more cozy rooms. Tomorrow's challenge (or if you're like me, and your are catching up and getting ahead...today's challenge!) we will be scrubbing our floors. Now, your age, ability, floor size, and determination will be the deciding factor on how you clean your floor.

CHALLENGE:
Scrub every nook and cranny of your kitchen floor. If you are feeling strong and amazing today- pull out the refrigerator and clean under it too! I have a very, very small amount of kitchen floor space and my preferred method will be to get on my hands and knees with a scrub brush and rag and scrub my heart out! A good sweep and mop job will be fine as well, just make sure you move any moveable items and get ALL of the dirt!

Do you prefer to clean the kitchen or the bathroom? Do you clean several items a day? Or do you stick with one task a day?

Below I've made a list of common couples questions that you and your spouse might find fun to ask each other. 1) What is your spouse's all time favorite movie? 2) What would your spouse request as their "last meal"? 3) What is your spouse's favorite pastime? 4) What percentage of housework would your husband say he does? 5) What flavor of cake did you have at your wedding? 6) What is your spouse's ideal date night? 7) Excluding people, what would your spouse say is their most prized possession? 8) At what specific sport or game will you wife say she is better than you? 9) What is your spouse&#

Mom Rules

Being a mom has a whole lot more to do with life than changing poopy diapers, nursing, schooling, dressing, and disciplining. It's when you change that diaper or where you nurse your baby, how you go about schooling and why and how you discipline. I've made a short 3 point list of rules every mom (or parent) should have. It's short and easy to remember so you can quickly think through the questions when parenting. Rule 1 - The Golden Rule Matthew 7:12 "So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the law and prophets." Treat your children as if they are a person, a real person who understand, cares, feels, and dreams. They are not your minions, your slaves, or even yours at all for that matter. They belong to the Lord and they are yours to nurture, love, and teach. They have a soul, and feelings.
