"Your body is the first thing any child of man ever wanted. Therefore dispose yourself to be loved, to be wanted, to be available. Be there for them with a vengeance. Be a gracious, bending woman. Incline your ear, your heart, your hands to them.... To be a Mother is to be the sacrament - the effective symbol - of place. Mothers do not make homes, they are our home." from Bed and Board, Robert Farrar Capon

Spring Cleaning Tips

1. CLOGGED OR SLOW DRAINING SINKS
To fix a slow draining sink, take out the drain stopper or plug and remove any large debris.  Then generously  pour baking soda into the drain pipe.  Next pour vinegar into the drain.  Let the chemicals work until you can't hear any fizzing.  Then put the stopper back in, fill the sink and watch it drain quickly.


2. BATH TUBS (The ones that refuse to get clean.)
That's right, spray this wonderful oven cleaner on the tub or shower and let it sit for 10 minutes (USE BLUE CAN).  Then wipe away years of soap scum build up. 


3. DULL APPLIANCES
Use  spray foam glass cleaner to shine up your kitchen and laundry room appliances and give them that sparkling new feel.

  1. I like to run my microwave for a few minutes with a glass bowl with water and dish soap. That makes it much easier to wipe out.
