My New Favorites

There is nothing like the feeling of a freshly cleaned house.  Top to bottom.  Laundry done.  Dishes done.  Clean sheets. The whole sha-bang.

As my major cleaning day, Sundays are bitter sweet around here.  I wake up grumbling, but by the end of the day--I feel re-energized and ready to take on the week.

Sometimes I like trying out new products.  Because let's face it, we are all trying to get more done in less time with less effort.  And with cleaning, that can be all about using the right tools and supplies.

Let me introduce you to my new favorite cleaner:

Lysol Power and Free multi-purpose with Hydrogen Peroxide.  Basically, the bottle says you can use it on most surfaces (including painted walls) AND it kills germs.  Sometimes it is hard to find a multi-surface cleaner, without harsh chemicals, that ALSO kills germs.  AND that smells good.  Ya right. Forget about it. Well this my friends.  Smells good.  Works on many surfaces.  AND kills germs.  Boom.  

It is nice and bubbly --but not like Scrub N Bubbles which is my usual go to, but has harsh fums and works....okay on shower doors.  My biggest complaint being that you have to use the product right or it leaves a residue.  The Lysol Power and Free is super easy and leaves things sparkly with no left over junk.   

My biggest victory.  Shower doors.  This has been the best working product on my shower doors hands down.  Dare I say it.  It made cleaning them easy.  We have hard water, so I have to SCRUB the shower doors weekly and they still look like ass a day later.  But this stuff was boss.  It was like, hard water marks--get the heck out.  

I got brave.  And tried it on my walls.  And shut the front door, it worked.  I have the cutest little hand prints all over the place from the little person that lives around here calling me mom from time to time.  And it took the hand prints right off leaving the paint unharmed.  So I went nuts.  Cleaned my dinning room walls and kitchen walls and bathroom walls.  Because that little person really wrecks havoc around here.  

My next favorite product is Sprayaway Glass Cleaner.  Advertised as the World's Best Glass Cleaner.

I would have to agree.  

I like that is it ammonia free and it is super easy and ACTUALLY streakless.  Oh ya, and it smells FABULOUS.  I am all about the good smelling low in fumes these days.  I use cleaning products daily and I don't want to be sucking crap into my skin and lungs nor my family's because I am a bit of a clean freak.  I wan't sure how I would like an arousal glass cleaner, but let me tell you--I like it.  You spray, it sticks to where you sprayed it, without running down the glass or window.  You wipe it down, and bam....you've got clean.  Easy.  No film.  No elbow grease.  

Happy cleaning.  Try it out.  Let me know what you think.

Fruit & Root Connection: Tangled Up

Certainly, I've expressed my aversion to hyper-spiritualized language before. It often feels contrived, lacking authenticity—a facade of piety. Perhaps it's projection. Maybe jealousy. Or it could stem from a sense of disillusionment with the Christian community. But every so often, amidst the noise, a truth resonates deeply. "There is a root and fruit connection between heart and behavior. People and situations do not determine our behavior; these things provide an occasion where our behavior reveals our hearts." - Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands I've been navigating through my anger, confronting myself in the mirror. What does this anger unveil about my own heart? Surely, they aren't as enraged with me. In fact, they probably don't spare me a second thought. If anything, they—as sincerely as they can muster—bemoan my status as an apostate. So pitiful. My fruit is anger. And too often, I'm tempted to point fingers elsewhere as the source of my...

Should I Stay or Should I Go

At the time, deciding to leave felt like the most agonizing part of the whole ordeal. In hindsight, a few years of prayer journals were filled with distressing agony over desiring direction and reconciliation.  So much turmoil and emotional pain all the time. But we were constantly told that was to be expected. Hard was good. Hard truths. And iron sharpening iron. But in reality, We were all enduring death by a thousand paper-cuts. In reality, it was spiritual abuse.  In July of 2022, I sat in a lawn chair in California. It felt like a million miles from home.  We had been traveling the US, and hadn’t been home in weeks. I sat there, eating my bowl of chili.  As wonderful as the trip has been, I started to miss home. In my reflections. I counted my blessings. Home was good. Except one thing, I had a sense of dread when I thought about church. My chest would go tight. And my body felt shaky. I craved Jesus. I craved worship. I craved devotion. Being in God’s creation,...

If Your Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands....

Alright y'all, I need to post an actual blog post.  It's been awhile.I guess I have said " writers block".  Everytime I've sat down to blog, I've gotten this nasty attitude, like I just want to rant and complain.  I'm not a fan of giving a bad mood more than it deserves or letting people get on my nerves enough that it bleeds in my blog in the most passive-aggressive way possible.  So I won't go there this time.  Focusing on what I'm thankful for has been such a great practice, and has helped me avoid the above.  So here goes nothing.....I'll update a little bit on everthing I suppose.... Finally, life is beginning to slow down.I am so appreciative of the fact that the moving/settling in process is over ( only to do it all again in T minus 5 months....) In theory, there should be a big hole where our next house will be soon. For some reason I doubt that they will break ground this week, but I would be happy if they did...I'm stressed and ...
