Must Have Monday~ Cleaning Version

I am joining up with Julia from Work, Wife, Mom...Life and Beth from Me As A Mommy. I was feeling uninspired and tweeted about it and Julia said I should join up and I thought that was a fabulous idea because I have about 10,000 must have items! The problem is narrowing it down to just one.

So for today my must have item is Clorox Disinfecting Wipes.

Reasons I love these. They work great for wiping down my kitchen table, quickly cleaning up my 1/2 bathroom when I know company is coming and I don't have time for a deep cleaning, and my favorite use for them. Drumroll please...... I hand one to each of my kiddos and they run around the house cleaning doorknobs, light switches and getting those dirty hand prints off doors, walls, etc. My kids love using them and they love helping me. I set a timer and we all get busy. The house is cleaner, disinfected, and smells better in minutes.

If you have a must have item head on over and link up too.

I was not compensated in any way for this post. I love Clorox Wipes and just wanted to share why.

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
