My First Day-Who Am I And What am I Doing Here!!!

So here I am. My kids decided that I am interesting enough to have a blog. So I figured what the heck and thought I would give it a try. Either no one will read and I will prove my kids right or someone will read and they will be right. Either way it should be fun.

First of all who am I. I am a mom, wife, daughter, friend, etc. I fit into every category that most women fit into. Which is why entitled this real life. Some things can not be made up no matter how hard you try and my life s one of them as I believe we all have an interesting story to share sometimes its just getting some one to slow long enough to hear your story. I am a big talker so many people have heard many stories about me and then on the flip side many people have told many stories about me.

I dont know how personal I will get on here. But if you ask me a question I will answer it honestly. For now I will start by telling you about my findings. Do to having a family I am always trying to find an easier faster and cheaper way to do everything!!! I am not lazy but when you have a small army to care for being more efficient is my number one priority.

Cleaning is what I do the most of. I live in a small house and there are dirt fields all around me. So in turn I get a lot of dirt in my house. Not to mention we are restoring the family home which was built in the 50's. While I love my house it takes a lot of cleaning do to dogs kids dirt cats and tractors grading the farmlands around me. I found the best way to keep my house clean is to mop sweep etc al the time. I sweep every morning every night and in between.

Recently we re-did the floors in our bedroom in bamboo. While it is beautiful it is also a chore to keep clean, especially since thats where the dog door is. Can you say piles of dirt?? Since out room has been completed I have worked on it daily to maintain. Sweeping doesn't cut it. I was using microfiber cloth mops but laundry is not something I want to add too. I even used disposable cloths and furniture polish works great but I go through way too many cloths for this to be cost effective. So today I discovered baby wipes to clean my floor. They are truely good for everything. I throw one on the floor and swish it around with broom. When its dirty I grab another one and go. Its quick and easy and fairly inexpensive. I buy wipes in the largest quantity and for sensitive skin. If its good for my babys bottom it certainly isn't going to dry out my wood floors.

Until next time!!! For now I am going to get my kids help and set this all up. Happy spring!!
