Spring Cleaning Challenge - Day 17, LVRM/DNRM Furniture

I've decided the difficulty of the task isn't what drives me away from doing it, it's taking the time to actually start the task. Procrastination...it gets the best of us all at one point or another!
Today's task could be very short or extremely time consuming depending on your house size and decoration style.  We will be wiping down all of the furniture in the Living Room and Dinning Room (of course excluding the couch, easy chairs, and dinning room table). There are a few items, like mirrors, and lamps, etc, that could also be categorized as an accessory. We will be cleaning all of the accessories in a few days. It doesn't matter which day you do those middle-of-the-roaders, just so long as you remember to do them.

CHALLENGE:
Wipe down all remaining furniture in the living room and dinning room. End tables, coffee tables, buffets, pianos, etc.... It's just like dusting, only on overload. I would recommend a rag dipped in warm slightly soapy water; or furniture polish for the wood items. Don't just do the tops: clean legs, drawers, shelves, etc...and don't forget to move items. If you need to empty a certain item entirely, clean it, and then replace everything, to make sure you don't get lazy and not move an item, than do it! It will only take a moment longer.

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&#

Day two of our prep work for the Spring Cleaning Challenge! Today I'm going to give you a recipe for window cleaner.  I've also been told that using warm water and a little bit of cornstarch is a great way to clean your windows as well. I don't have a recipe or a ratio for you though. I hope you are gearing up for the Challenge, it's only 7 days away!

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
