Today I visited with my mother for a while. Mom was messing with her IPAD , it was not working right. We finally figured out the problem then she was on the search for some recipes to show me. After that we viewed some cute animal videos on Facebook. Mom had made a big pot of bean soup and I got to bring some home. It was pretty good.

I  am on a kick to get my house clean. I was told about a site called "FLYLADY" It tells you how to clean your home and do it a little at a time. I guess so you WILL actually do it because it is not as time consuming. I got a little inspired by it. But I can not just do 15 minutes here and there yet. I want to get things done. But instead of wearing myself out, I did decide I'll do a room a day. And I mean deep clean. So today I did the dining room. It is not used often, except Ashley was doing homework at the table till she discovered it is better to lay on the living room couch. So I did all the windows, trim and baseboard first. Next I polished and wiped down all the chairs. The hardest part was cleaning the Plantation blinds.  I vacuumed the floors and got the corners. wiped down the picture frames. Last I steam cleaned. I do not steam clean the hardwood often, but I decided to do that today. The dining room is so clean! It was not obviously dirty at a glance but it did need this badly. I feel better for it :)

I also cleaned the chandelier!
