I am feeling the need to go into.... 

"fly lady on speed" mode. 

  

{fyi}

I have actually been trying coupongal.net and been very happy with things I've

ordered.  Well, all except for that crazy joy dishwashing detergent fiasco.  Otherwise,

it has been without any problem.

Recently, I've ordered a CASE of the snack packs of Animal Crackers, they

averaged I think 17 cents a piece.  I've ordered my microdermabrasion kit for a significant

savings in comparison to Walmart {I researched that one out on my own and did the subscribe

& save plan}.  I've ordered cereal, mac and cheese, detergent, and today, several a packs of 20 AA batteries {I go through a ton with my flash} for $8.60 I  believe.  Scott paid $4+ for 4 when we were out on the road the other day for one of Noah's games.   I think it's hit or miss.  And, some of the things I've missed, I've kicked myself over - but, overall you can have huge savings if it's something you use anyway.  Nothing like the doorbell ringing and you have a big box of a stockpile with free shipping and not to mention what I save by NOT going into the store.

Also, a spring cleaning tip from 88.1 I heard yesterday that I am using as I type this and the house smells soooooo good......put a package of plain Koolaide Lemonade into an empty dishwasher and run it - it cleans the dishwasher and makes the house smell.........yummy. ;)

 Very inexpensive too!   

Not sure why this is posting with such big gaps and spacing......
does not look like that when I hit publish??

Just in case you ever have a carpet mishap as  I do on a near-daily basis here; 

skip all of the above and go straight for the  window cleaner.

Yep, good old Windex.  I was on my way to get some Borax for a recipe

I had received, but a friend of mine who cleans homes told me to grab my

window cleaner. She promised it would work and would not bleach

the carpet.  It worked amazingly well!! 

{I actually used the blue type and a little of that below.} 

Unbelievable!  

And, I will admit I really don't understand it.  I had already used a combo of water

and vinegar with little to no results.  But, by wicking the areas with a towel and window

cleaner..........it worked!!!   



{throwing in the towel}

or actually, that would be the mop.

My floors!

Cannot keep them clean.

Mud, mud, and more mud.

I think I will keep sweeping up what I can,

but, go on mop strike until Sunday night.

However, in saying all of that,

I would take tracked-in, muddy floors

ANY DAY

over spotless ones that had no little feet to muddy up.
