Blog: Take The Stress Out Of Housecleaning
 15 Minute Tidy for your Living Room
This is a great tip for when unexpected company is arriving, you have a busy schedule or the house needs to be refreshed and clear of clutter. Cleaning doesn't have to be stressful and take a lot of time, it may not be dirt that is affecting your life, maybe it is, clutter!
15 Minute Tidy
- Take a basket and walk around the room and put everything in here that doesn't belong in this room.
- Using a garbage bag, pick up all of the garbage, junk and newspapers and throw in the garbage.
- Pick up all of the dirty dishes and ashtrays and put them in the dishwasher or sink.
- Brush the crumbs off of the furniture
- Using a piece of pape toweling, wipe over all of the end tables and coffee table and arrange the contents on the top of the table.
- Neatly arrange the remote controls, magazines etc.
- Using a hand sweeper, sweep over the carpeting in all of the walkways.
- Spray air freshener, fabric freshener or odor out-for that fresh clean smell!
Now, that wasn't too bad, was it? It only took you 15 minutes to clean it up, make it shine and smell good too. We seem to forget, that our homes are lived in and that creates clutter and upset, it doesn't mean that our homes are what you would call 'dirty'.
Keep the major cleaning to once every two weeks or once a month, until then, a 15 minute tidy, once a day is all that you will need to keep your home looking good.

Fun Things To Do
- Fishing Lake Michigan
Whether it is by boat or off the pier, there is nothing like getting that first Coho or King.
- Grandchildren are fun
Making memories for your grandchildren of all of the fun times they had with grandma and grandpa is one of the best memories you will make for yourself too.
- Camping
A tent, a firepit and sitting in the woods is a campers dream. We spend a lot of time camping in Northern Wisconsin and I have tons of camping recipes to share.
TV Shows
- American Idol
I am hooked on this show, nothing interrupts me when this is on. By the time they get to Hollywood, I already have the top ten picked out.
- Last Comic Standing
I love to see how these people, take the judges advice and change their tactics to become great comics, instead of just a comic.
- House
Now really, isn't he the kind of doctor you want on your side? He always has a reason for his actions, he looks until he finds the cure and he has flaws just like the rest of us.
- Any home make over show
I get some of my best ideas off of these shows and I also find things that I wouldn't dream of doing to someone elses home. I will admit, there are times that I wish they would call me and ask for my help!
