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?

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 ...
