Thank you, BISSELL for sponsoring today’s post on preparing for holiday entertaining! Now that Christmas is only about a week away, I am in full gear to get my preparations done for the big day!

Holiday Cleaning Tips & $50 Giveaway

written by Lauren

quick holiday cleaning tips

“This review was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Mr. Clean. I was provided the featured product and compensations to facilitate this post, but all opinions are 100% mine." I don't know about you, but I never seem to have enough time to get everything done during the holidays! For me, the worst part about getting ready for the holidays is getting the house clean for company! I'd love to have a clean house, but for some reason or other, I can't seem to keep my house in a constant state of clean! So that usually means that I wipe myself out cleaning right before a holiday event, only to Continue reading...

written by Lauren

free printable weekly cleaning schedule

Hi, everyone! Now that the new school year has started, I have been making a concentrated effort to keep my life and home more organized. Part of that effort includes making my own free printables for myself and to share -- I've been finding if I don't have my to-lists and chores on paper, I tend to forget them! LOL. I recently made a free printable colorful chore chart for my tweens. My kids just got their own rooms this summer, so they are really excited about keeping their rooms neat and organized so they can have friends over and be proud to show off their rooms! I most recently made Continue reading...

Editor's Note: I am working on some new projects for the blog today, so I thought I'd share this post from Mom Home Guide's archives.

written by Lauren

I have been hoping to switch to a more natural approach for cleaning my home, so I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to review The Organically Clean Home: 150 Everyday Organic Cleaning Products You Can Make Yourself--The Natural, Chemical-Free Way, the latest book by writer, blogger and cleaning expert, Becky Rapinhuck of Clean Mama. The book is filled with easy to make recipes for all-natural, organic, homemade and DIY cleaning products that are safer and cheaper than the pre-made cleaning products that you buy at the store. What I really like about Becky's book is that these Continue reading...

Easy and Quick Way to Clean Stove Grates

written by Lauren

clean, stove, grates, ammonia

One thing I hate to do the most in my kitchen is clean stove grates. I forget about cleaning the stove  grates for so long, so by the time I get around to cleaning them, I wind up with baked-on grease that's really tough to scrub off! Yuck! So instead of scrubbing all day long, I use my easy stove cleaning method that I found on -- where else -- Pinterest! Materials Needed 4 Ziploc Gallon Storage Bags A teaspoon or less of ammonia for each Ziploc bag (you only need a small amount per bag) Dish cleaning sponge (I like to use Continue reading...

Lemon, Orange and Vinegar Microwave Cleaner

written by Lauren

all natural, microwave, vinegar, lemon, orange cleaner

Over the past few months, I have been trying to make the switch from commercial cleaning and beauty products to more natural (and less expensive) homemade ones. That is why I am excited to join some of my blogging friends in sharing our own recipes for beauty and cleaning products! For my product I decided to make an all-natural microwave cleaner. Natural Microwave Cleaner When I clean the microwave, I usually fill a microwavable bowl halfway full with vinegar, microwave it for 1-2 minutes and immediately scrub down the microwave. It works like a charm! I have to tell you, though, that my Continue reading...

written by Lauren

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of BISSELL Homecare, Inc. for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. My home is filled with wall-to-wall carpeting, which means that I do a lot of vacuuming. I try to vacuum frequently to keep my house clean, but I have to admit there are a few spots that I overlook! BISSELL’S PowerGlide® with Lift-Off® Technology Vacuum The areas I forget to vacuum are those out-of-the-way or hard to reach spots, so I am very intrigued by BISSELL’S new PowerGlide® with Lift-Off® Technology vacuum. This powerful, yet light vacuum has a Continue reading...
