It's Spring Cleaning Season so join Goodwill and "Donate Stuff. Create Jobs"

Spring cleaning is a great thought that I need to think more about. By Spring time I ready to get outside and not be inside cleaning, so I start my Spring Cleaning when it's cold and dreary outside. That doesn't necessarily mean I am done Spring Cleaning by the time the first day of Spring is here. I wish.

We take stuff to Goodwill regularly. Once a month we donate clothing, household goods like the overflow of casserole dishes or utensils that are crammed in the drawers. I don't know who brings all this stuff into our house, but I bet it's me. 


The last big haul I cleared out was a big garbage bag of sheets and pillow cases. Sheets from the kids college days that they changed their taste every year or just too many sets of sheets. Well, plus they were falling off the shelf onto the closet floor so instead of tyring to cram them back on the shelf, I donated several sets of bed sheets to Goodwill.

Giveaway of New Soft Scrub® 4-in-1 Toliet Cleaner to three lucky winners.

  Let's talk about cleaning toilets. Hmm, I'd rather not talk about that, or clean them. However, I don't want dirty toilets in our house, so I have to clean all three of them. I'd clean four or five because I really would like two downstairs bathrooms in my next house. We have one powder room on the first floor and two full baths upstairs.I'd like three full baths upstairs. Why in the world would I want to clean all that?
