The Delights of Warm Weather


I was sitting down getting ready to write a post for you all about cleaning tips but the sun is beckoning and felt I had to say a little something about how the warm weather makes me feel.

It’s the end of April in my neck of the woods and we have been having some wonderfully warm sunny days. It won’t be the end of the rainy days but Oh! How we Are loving it!

Some of my flowers are blooming, leaves are green, the butterflies are out, windows are open; the fresh, warm air is like being wrapped in a blanket.

Isn’t it amazing how a beautiful day can do so much to lift your spirits and help you see things in a whole new light?

The sun feels so good; I’ve started wearing my shorts and tank tops, even if only for a short time I know summer will be here soon and it will be part of my daily attire.

I love the simplicity of summer, the slower pace in which my life moves and that I have the time to “stop and smell the roses”.

Being outdoors more often, tending my gardens, and walking with my camera around my neck snapping pictures are just some of the things I enjoy about warm weather.

No matter what kind of vacuum you use, I’m pretty sure it’s a veritable work horse with all the dirt, debris, hair and who knows what else we have it suck up.

So treating your vacuum and the accessories that came with it, to a good cleaning on a somewhat regular basis can’t hurt. It’s not a time consuming job and something that can be done when the weather’s keeping you indoors. Step 1: Be sure the vacuum is unplugged. I’m sure this bit of instruction isn’t necessary but you never know. Step 2: If parts need to be removed, make sure you know how to put it back together by taking pictures or labeling. Step 3: Use mild soap and water to clean the accessories and ...

Cleaning Around the House with White Vinegar

Image
I know you see posts all the time about the using white vinegar to clean around the house and I as well post about the many uses. These are some of the questions we get asked often by our clients. You may not realize it, but white vinegar is environmentally friendly, it’s a germ fighter and you probably have it on a kitchen shelf already as you may use it to cook with time and again for tenderizing meats, pickling your garden veggies and bringing out the flavor of some foods. I have to say, I think my bottle of white vinegar is used more for cleaning around the house than for using in my recipes. You can use it to sanitize the washing machine, make your own window cleaner and so much more. Vinegar can be used all around the house, from the kitchen to the bathrooms and even used to clean certain types of floors.  Vinegar is quite effective for killing household germs, bacteria, and killing most molds due to its acidic nature. However, because of its acidic nature it will damag...
