Spring Cleaning Challenge- Day 1 Window Washing!

I'm not ready! It can't be time yet!!I might have sounded brave two days ago when I gave you the final preliminaries for this Spring Cleaning Challenge, but let me tell you what I've quickly realized:

1. Missions Conference week (extra evenings at church)
2. Started a new eating plan (no it's not a diet, I hate diets)
3. Started a new exercise plan
4. Spring Cleaning Challenge!

I have no idea when I'm going to clean my windows tomorrow between cooking 6 meals, working 8 hours, exercising and going to Missions Conference at 7pm, but It's going to happen! I've managed to start way to many things all on April 1st and that's no Fooling!

I hope you are encouraged by my craziness in knowing that we are all busy and wondering how to accomplish it all. But don't worry, if you mess up with the cleaning schedule. (Even if it's the first day!) Just get back on track tomorrow, or maybe tonight. Success doesn't always start with success, sometimes it takes a few tries.

CHALLENGE!
1.Pull out those rags, and some window cleaner, whether it's my recipe (click here to link back to the recipe) or some good old blue Windex, and wipe down the inside and outside of every window and glass door you can get to. (I live on the second floor of an apartment building, I'm not sure if I can clean the outside of my windows or not!)
2. get some warm soapy water and a vacuum and clean out the window casing scrub down the trim and windowsill. Clean it all, let no dirt escape!


 Please add comments below of your progress, difficulties, and funny stories! We would love to be encouraged by them!

      That's nice! Maybe I should order some windows from Europe! I was finally able to clean mine and found out that there or 3 parts to the window, (which mean you have 4 sides of glass to look through) and I can only clean 1 side. They are very dirty!

42 Questions To Ask Your Spouse On Valentine's Day

If you and your spouse were on the Newlywed game show... would you win? My husband and I are going to a couple's retreat next month and decided to get a head start on it by brushing up on our newlywed gameshow questions. We actually did pretty well the first time through, but we keep giving each other pop quizzes to keep the answers fresh in our minds. 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&#

Spring Cleaning Challenge- Day 21, Shower

I hope you had a wonderful weekend, celebrating Easter with family and friends. This week we will be focusing on the bathrooms. (I hope you don't have very many) Because I'm not getting this post out till late morning you might consider swapping today's task and tomorrow's. If you get up early and have already taken a shower you might not want to clean the shower today. Instead you can jump ahead to tomorrow and clean the shower curtain and liner. Then tomorrow morning when you take a shower you can clean it. Do whatever works best with your schedule. CHALLENGE: Clean you shower(s) till it sparkles. Here is a link back to the post about shower cleaner. It really does work the best; It makes my shower tiles sparkle! I find that taking a shower while cleaning it is the easiest way. If you have multiple showers, you might consider not getting soaking wet every time, or asking a spouse or child to help you. Take a scrub brush to work on grout mold, and a sponge to wipe
