It is plant based and toxin free! If your kiddos are helping you clean, it's totally safe for their little bodies! We use it to clean our wood floors, granite counter tops, stainless steel, toilets, tubs/showers, windows, and pretty much every single surface in our house!

I have had many cleaning plans and as my kids got older and more involved in activities, the "plan" became accepting a dirty house. Do what works for you, but remember, your time with your kids is SHORT. I love the Roomba idea, sneaking in cleaning while GG is in the bath, etc. You are also teaching MANY life lessons having your kids help out, and clearly providing support and inspiration to other young mamas. Love your blog!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00935520161538503425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4903719345263002741.post-16457311398741182962017-04-06T10:06:16.434-05:002017-04-06T10:06:16.434-05:00Thanks for being so honest here. :) I wanted to g...Thanks for being so honest here. :) I wanted to get a housekeeper when we moved, and it's just hard for me to justify the money. So we've been cleaning a bit as we go, and I totally "get" your comment about a house being clean, but not sparkling. We are totally there. And you also make me REALLY want a Roomba. :) :)Darcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842009936269879117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4903719345263002741.post-55888918029776358002017-04-06T09:26:44.494-05:002017-04-06T09:26:44.494-05:00I've been toying with the idea of getting a Ro...I've been toying with the idea of getting a Roomba for months now..

When I'm waiting for dinner to cook or waiting for water to boil, I quickly clean out cabinets, and the fridge. When I'm waiting for my shower to heat up, I clean my bathroom quickly (run a lyson rag around the toilet floor and clean the toilet) things like that. Every day I do one big thing, like clean the windows, pull the fridge out and clean behind it, clean ceiling fans, whatever...then little by little, in little chunks, things get cleaned. It really works, and doesn't feel like a big project.Sitesx6https://www.blogger.com/profile/14030560891890881522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4903719345263002741.post-55901750843928680992017-04-06T07:50:11.016-05:002017-04-06T07:50:11.016-05:00I have a Dyson stick and LOVE it!

I appreciate your honesty about cleaning. We have a cleaning lady every other week but we still do quite a bit of pick-up and self-cleaning in between her visits. How do things get so messy when we're not there all day?!! It's so important to teach kids to clean/pick-up, even when mine gripe up and down about it.

Some weeks I delegate lots of cleaning jobs to the kids (i.e. dusting, baseboards, vacuuming). Other weeks if we are super busy they get a pass and are only in charge of straightening their rooms and putting away the shoes from our shoe bucket by the door. How do we wear so many shoes during a week???<br /><br />http://www.lettinginthelightblog.comMegan @ Letting In The Light Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10192860638487979610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4903719345263002741.post-4111006353940668362017-04-06T06:51:00.663-05:002017-04-06T06:51:00.663-05:00I'm dying for a roomba!
