Cleaning your appliances

Over labor day weekend we finished the deep cleaning!

Deep cleaning is a horrible process of systematically going through every room, closet, and space in my house, taking everything out, organizing, and cleaning floor to ceiling. 

This year I worked on it from May - September and it seemed to never end.

But, on the flip side the results of deep cleaning are amazing! Living in an orgainzed space, getting rid of clutter, knowing that my walls are free of scum, etc. is a great feeling that is the main motivator to keep going.

One of my favorite things to clean is our appliances. 



Who would have thought that cleaning your appliances- the major things that do the cleaning for you- could be so fun! I love the result of having a clean fridge, dishwasher, oven, washer, and dryer. It feels like I got all new appliances after the scum, smears, and messes are washed away.



So here's to an enjoyable fall with no more deep cleaning checklist looming over my shoulder.

What project to tackle next.....

Dear Mom, 

My thoughts and prayers are with you today. You can do this! I love you and

A great day

Our friends the Gardiners rolled into town with their 4 beauties the night before school started.



The girls started playing like they'd been together all year.

 

We stayed up late talking.



Ate delicious Trader J*oe's carne asada.



Went swimming, ate yogurt, played in the splash pad, and felt like they'd moved back up the road.



It was the highlight of August. 



We can't wait until next year G's!

Laboring on labor day

  

Hope you had a good one too!
