Just in case you're giving yourself a headache trying to read the tiny print on the bottom of this picture, here's what it says:
"Because everything in her home is waterproof, the housewife of 2000 can do her daily cleaning with a hose"
Really? I think I'll have to try that...
Just the other day I was thinking (in my usual procrastinating fashion) that it's about time to start spring cleaning. I know, never mind that it is now June. Never mind. Momstheword is just the person I need in my life right now, because she is hosting a Summer Cleaning Frenzy Challenge and she's been kind enough to twist my arm inspire me to jump in! LoL! The rules are to choose one room at a time to target. Okay. I think I can do that.
My focus room: The Master Bedroom
Here's what I'll be doing:
Fold all the clothes and put them away(who knows? maybe I'll find my missing pair of shoes??)- Vacuum under the bed (yes, I'll be going where no man has gone before!)
- Dust
- Organize my dresser
- Organize my desk (if I can find it)
- Organize my sewing area
- Finish painting my wall (I started a year and a half ago...)
- Make it pretty (just because)
I'm excited folks! I can't wait to see my floor again!
And just in case your home isn't waterproof either, you can join us!
Ooooh, hope I didn't twist it to hard, lol! I am excited to begin too!!!!
ReplyDeleteI got your link and it will be up with the other's tomorrow. So excited you're joining us!
I can't wait to begin!
Oh, sounds like my sewing room. I so desperately need to clean it.
ReplyDeleteWill tomorrow be the day? Who knows, depends how much energy I have after we clean the downstairs and do all our grocery shopping.
GOod luck.
Best wishes.
Oh- what a good idea. I tried spring cleaning (because for the first time in 4 years I'm not moving) and I'm still working on it. I'm going to hold myself accountable to our spare bedroom! Good luck. I'm sure it will look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI just finished a cleaning frenzy over here since Kaylee's having a bday party tomorrow. LOL! I can finally see my living room floor again without all the toys everywhere!
ReplyDeleteSo that's the secret?! Water-proofing your home, must've missed that memo. :)
ReplyDeleteI also chose my master bedroom, it was my dumping ground, but now it's clean- yeahhhhh!
Hopefully I can keep it that way for more than a day!

Oh well I can't participate. My house gets its deep cleaning every week. Last week, I did paint our bonus room and steam clean carpets. The only thing left is the garage and I need to have a garage sale before I can move anything out. Good luck to you. I think you should post before and after pictures.
ReplyDeleteOh, our bedroom is icky! We have a floor somewhere, too! LOL! Our bedroom somehow also belongs to the kids, too! They won't be little forever, though...someday I won't be stepping over their slippers, toys and knocking cups of water off the nightstand {sigh} Sounds like a great list! I need to put clothes away, too...I'm missing lots of things! ha ha!
ReplyDeleteWas that a comic, or did someone really think that, way into the future...year 2000, we would be so technologically advanced that we could just hose down our home? Ha! Ha! I love it!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how all those clothes find a home in our bedrooms...my dresser tops are always covered with things I am GOING to take care of someday. I am so bad.
Have fun cleaning your room...that is the room I am starting with also...I neglect it the most.

I was just telling my husband yesterday that I needed to CLEAN our bedroom! The reason it's such a mess is because of all those clothes!! I can't keep up with the laundry, I'm sure you can relate with a bunch of little ones!
ReplyDeleteI just got done doing this before our inlaws came. I am resting today. ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you can get it done. I think I will do it one room at a time and one a week next time. Doing it all at once was so hard on me.
I do the same thing- close my bedroom door so nobody can see the mess! Ahhhhh, but now my room is clean- what a nice feeling! I might just keep my door open today. :)

Good luck cleaning! I picked all of the toys up for the millionth time today, and that was good enough for this house!
ReplyDeleteOh my! That's funny! I really need some motivation - my house is a total wreck lately! My husband is a lazy packrat and I'm working 10 hour days - ugh! I think I'll just go get my hose and see how it does, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI wish a hose would take care of it all at my house. That would be great! LOL
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to be doing this... especially since we're moving in about 6 weeks! I think I'll tackle one room at a time and clean as I pack! That way we won't have to do a mad rush of cleaning after we're all moved out...thanks for the inspiration! (oh - and I can't wait to see your "kissing tree") !! :)

good luck my friend. I can't wait to hear how it goes.
ReplyDeleteHope this week in the bedroom goes well! Love the cute comic! IF only it was that easy!! :D
ReplyDeleteLOL!! I may be using that shovel to get my laundry taken care of...then I'll take it to the storage room. Good luck cleaning!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great list...I'm sure you feel so refreshed when you're through!!
ReplyDeleteI love the image you used...sometimes, I think a home full of toddlers NEEDS to be cleaned that way! LOL!!!!
