The Benefits of Green Carpet Cleaning for Your Home and Family

Spring arrived late this year, so if you’re like me, you’re probably still very much in spring cleaning mode. Now is the perfect time to really scrub beneath the obvious surfaces of your home and clear out the dust, grime, and other remnants of the cold winter months we’re now finally free from. This of course also includes giving your carpets a proper deep cleaning.

Everyone in the family gets up close and personal with the carpets in your home, especially small children and family pets. We all want our carpets to be clean and look great, but most traditional carpet cleaners on the market today contain a laundry list of harsh chemicals. In fact, in the past decade alone, recalls have been issued by the EPA of well-known and widely-used carpet cleaning products, such …

The Top 3 Ways to Get Your Kids to Cook

As a parent, at times it can be nice to entertain the idea of the kids doing the cooking. Especially after having come home from a hard day at work it’s never very nice knowing that you have to cook a meal for your kids, especially if there’s a chance that they will be ungrateful for it.

Unfortunately, though, you can’t really leave the entire meal preparation to the children, at least not until they reach a certain age and are able to cook on their own. What you can do, however, is get your children involved in the process of meal preparation and teach them basic cooking skills.

New Glade® Expressions™ Fragrance Mist and Oil Diffusers Refresh Your Home and Look Good Doing It

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Triad Retail Media. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have always been a fan of Glade® candles. The commercials with the woman who lights a Glade® candle and easily fools her friends into thinking that she is baking aren’t that far-fetched, as the power of their scents are just that good; able to escort your mind into a whole other reality for a few, short moments as you take in the scent. Even just one of their small candles fills up a moderately large space with a delicious or just plain pleasant and great fragrance, which consistently surprises me, as if I had completely forgotten how effective they are since the last time I lit one of their candles.

In time for spring …

A Review of Kitchen Safety Tips

Everyone knows that the kitchen can be a dangerous place with hot stoves, electrical appliances, knives, and more.

Here are a few to keep in mind to avoid a less than satisfying kitchen experience:

Coming Together

It has been 12 days. 12 days since my partner and I met our realtor in the back yard of the house we had collectively been placing visions of our future-selves in while we waded through the process of making it ours.

We waited on the back porch as the realtor opened the door and we walked in, the first time seeing it completely clean of any other life that had existed within its walls before us. Empty and yet so full of plans and aspirations, as if we had boxed up every hope we had for what our lives could be like within this space, just as we had boxed up all of our possessions, and they were just waiting for us to get here and dive in. Even in its simplest form, a structure without the weight of personal belongings, furniture, or tokens …
