Official Clean MY House week

I can't get motivated. Well to spring clean anyway. Probably because I keep waking up to this in MAY!

So to get myself motivated I am going to post everyday this week about what I have cleaned or what I am going to clean. See what I am doing here? I am motivating myself, making myself accountable, and documenting that I actually want to get something done. And although this lovely vinyl sign is proudly displayed in my kitchen basking in my beautiful recessed lighting....

I am going to clean this week if it kills me! I need a cleaner space I need to show that I am getting things done and this is how I am going to do it.
Each day I will post a before and after picture of what I have done. On Friday I am going to post my final project and then a Linky so you can all link up if you want and show me what you have cleaned this week. Oh I am so excited!!
What are you going to clean this week? (I am starting with my kitchen!!)

How to get Urine/Sweat stains out of your Mattress

If you have kids you have pee stains I know it. If you don't lucky you or you are a liar and in denial. I have pee stains on more than one mattress. I also have sweat stains on pillows because well I sweat a.lot . It's a gift I know. I digress. Anyway I have tried many different ways to get urine/pee out of mattresses and I have been very unsuccessful so I did a google search and what do you know? Another mom had pee stains too. So I borrowed her recipe and it totally worked so I am sharing it with you. All you need are these few house-hold ingredients and a spray bottle. I bought a really expensive one (NOT) I used one I had for my kids hair. It worked great. You will need: 3 Tablespoons Baking Soda 8 ounces Hydrogen peroxide 1 drop dish soap Mix together well and use right away. My mom discovered that if it is not mixed well the baking soda will clog the sprayer. You also can't store this apparently it doesn't last in the bottle and it is no longe

Master Bedroom Makeover Board and Batten

I highly recommend a few items although you don't HAVE to have them it just makes this project go so much faster. I bought a pancake compressor with three nail guns included saved me on this project and a miter saw. I bought both from Home Depot and they didn't pay me to say that it is just where I happen to shop. I actually had this all measured out and went to Home Depot and they cut the mdf primed boards for me. However I later purchased the miter saw and was then able to cut things right here at my house. The nail gun I used is a 16 gauge gun that can shoot nails up to 3 inches. I used a 2.5 inch nail to cover the thickness of the board and wall. Ok so I recommend deciding how you want your boards spaced first and measure and mark on the wall where you want them. I tried to do every 16 inches because that is how far apart my studs were but then I realized my wall wasn't an even length and so I have some that look a little off on the ends. Lesson learned

Firmoo Glasses Review

When Firmoo contacted me about trying out a pair of their glasses I was thrilled. Although I don't wear glasses my husband does and he is always in need of a new pair. So we went to their site and picked out a great pair for him to try out. He has been wearing them for about 10 days and he LOVES them. They fit well, the prescription is correct, and they look great on him. Well see for yourself. The glasses shipped quickly and safely. They came with a hard and soft carrying case, a cleaning rag, and mini tools for fixing loose screws or parts. I loved that because I just thought the tools were really cute! My husband says the only thing he doesn't love is sometimes after wearing the glasses all day they are a little difficult to clean all the oils off. But with a little elbow grease they do come clean. I personally think they are very flattering and love how they look. Of course I am a little biased ;) Firmoo has a large variety of prescription, non-
