Blog Hop and a Giveaway

How do you keep your home clean during the chaotic holiday season?

"Pick up your stuff" comes the voice the boys call mom...or me as it is.

Right after Labor Day we do a large cleaning - everything gets dusted, mopped, lemon-oiled and spruced up before the Fall decorations get put out - including Halloween.  The bribery of putting out Halloween usually garners me a little help, but three full days of cleaning will be needed to go from top to bottom.

After the decorations are up, we relax and enjoy until that first Monday rolls around and it is cleaning and laundry all over again!  With over 1300 square feet of hardwood and tile I often put that off until last.  I NEED A MINT CLEANER to help with all that hard surface!! 

Now, throw in the snow, mud, salt, icemelt and I REALLY NEED A MINT CLEANER!!  Two boys under 13 and one over (that would be my DH), floors are endless.

Ahhh, to own one of these!!

A Time to Remember

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations, to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection, and favors...Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the Beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble things for his kind care and protection of the People of this country...and for all the great and various favors which he has been pleased to confer upon us.   George Washington
