Countdowns

In one day, MAM will be done at the daycare where she’s been for two years.

In two days, we’re packing up and heading to Orlando.

In seven days, BgK and I are going to Manhattan for the dance contest. Turns out, he’s going to be on Regis and Kelly on Friday, and the CBS morning news on Saturday morning. Big fun!

In twenty days, McBaby will arrive.

And that’s just the first month of summer.

Multi-Tasking


I’m not big on house cleaning. Not that we live in filth, but, well, let’s just say there’s room for improvement. Something does motivate me though, is reading about germs–the billion germs in your kitchen sink and sponges, the fecal matter on the bottom of my purse, you know those kinds of reports. Reports like this one.

Sunday I shared that I had actually cleaned my microwave. Not only did I clean my microwave, I disinfected my kitchen sponge at the same time. Talk about multi-tasking.

I simply soaked my kitchen sponge with water and microwaved it for about 45 seconds. This disinfects the sponge, and loosens all the baked on nastiness in the microwave, making it much easier to clean.

Theoretically, I could do this every evening after dinner, or at least once a week….
