Spring Cleaning Challenge- Day 24, Toilets

O the porcelain throne! You knew it would come around eventually! You've probably heard it said that your toilet is cleaner then the human mouth...so how bad could it be, right?
Spring cleaning was dragging a lot the first week, I was so busy trying to keep up with everything, then something happened and everything fell into place and stuff just happened, the cleaning was getting done. But now I'm hitting that "I just wish I was done" stage. And guess what?! We are almost done! 5 more cleaning days and your house will be sparkling clean and you will have some extra time in your day once again! Keep up the good work!

CHALLENGE:
Clean the toilet, inside and out. Use whatever cleaning supplies you feel comfortable with. Clean everything you can get to on the toilet, this includes the outside of the bowl, the flat spaces where the toilet bolts into the floor, and of course everything that hinges. There are some really amazing blog posts out there about how to clean your toilet step by step. My favorite ones tell you how to drip dry the toilet brush. (toilet brushes are definitely NOT cleaner than my mouth!) Look up a step by step process and see how quickly you can finish multiple bathrooms!

Is it warm and springy where you live? Have you gone to the park yet? What are some of your favorite outdoor activities for Spring and Summer?

How to Make Your Apartment More Homey - Part 5

Welcome to part 5 of my mini series "How to Make Your Apartment More Homey". Once you get a grasp on the first four topics you've really got something going for you. These last two steps are definitely not the meat of the problem. Today we will focus on - The Color Palette. A little bit of color theory wouldn't hurt anyone. I realize that we are alway feeling the need to try something new and be a little different. It's called fashion, and that's okay. Be different! Make a statement! It's good to try something new. But if it's ugly just say so, don't lie to save your pride. Your pride has already been painted all over that new yellow couch! You can google a basic color wheel and the different ways to pair the colors or most people have an eye for what looks good together. It's usually a good thing to stick with the same hue (bold with bold, or pastels with pastels, and burnt colors with burnt colors) but even that isn't alwa...

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 6 Psalm 51:10

Welcome to your first day of rest. Tomorrow is Sunday, a day that should be put aside to worship the Lord and to rest your body from physical activity. Each Sunday we will meditate on a verse that reflects having a clean heart. Because we all know that a spotless house doesn't make us truly happy. Only a clean heart can keep a smile on our faces. Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. What does a clean heart look like? Who judges wether the heart is clean or not? Who cares about your heart more than anyone else? Just like we have been pulling out our furniture this week looking for dust bunnies, take a moment to pull out the furniture in your life and look for "Me" bunnies. Search out your heart for selfish things you've tucked away, whether it be a secret, a personal pleasure, a blatant sin, or an old heartache. When you've found them, take them all one by one and lay them out in a straight row in front of...
