Trashy

Before we begin I will confess yes I did take a photo of a trash can! Now that we are passed that I love to have things organized and clean especially my car therefore I was on the hunt for a trash can that would fit into my car that was big enough for a long trip. I used a cereal container I found at target for $2.99! It is going to be super handy all year especially during family vacations!!!

Cleaning Tip of the day

Since I became a Mother I do try to clean safe plus quickly. My cleaning tip of today is how to clean your microwave!

What you need:
Paper Towels or a small clean towel
Microwave safe measuring cup
Approximately 4 oz of water

Directions:
-Put the water in the measuring cup
-Put the cup into the microwave
-Boil the water (time depends but it 2 or 3 mins max!)
-DO NOT open the door immediately let the steam get the microwave wet for about a minute
-Take out the cup and wipe out the microwave with the towel and even use the hot water to wipe off any extra stuck on stuff by dipping the towel in the water
-Finally let the microwave stay open for a few hours to let it dry out then you are DONE

It is super simple and so easy! Also makes the microwave sparkle again with minimal time!

How to fold a fitted sheet - DON'T

Don't fold fitted sheets just stuff the sheets in a pillowcase! They tuck nicely into our closet plus as much as I change the sheets due to all of us having allergies it also saves a lot of time when folding laundry!! BTW please do not tell my Grandmother or yours you do this because you might get a frown :)! Happy folding day though!!!

Cleaning Tip of the day - Microwave

Tip: To clean your microwave put a cup of water into a microwave safe glass bowl and heat it till it boils. Do not open the door till you see the steam has made the door a little wet looking. Finally open it and wipe out the microwave with a towel! It really gets anything in there to come off easy! You might then want to take out the glass dish and hand wash it but if you just wanted to quick clean this is the trick! Also as a side note you can use that hot water to clean something else like I do when I clean off my cook top with it!

Happy cleaning!!!

Spring It...

Excited about Spring because I LOVE this season! I just started my Spring cleaning list with cleaning out all my makeup products.  It is so important to clean out your makeup stash because you wouldn't want to get an infection in your eye or get bacteria anywhere on your face for that matter.  I clean out my stash about every month because I use a lot of cream and/or liquid makeup therefore they go bad more often especially your mascara I replace that every month because I have seen someone that received more that awesome lashes from old mascara!

 

I also love love Spring because it is a great time to hit the open road running! I just bought some new running gear and I am excited to plan out my goals for this year. Last year I did my first 5k, 8k, and I was running 6-7 miles by the end of summer each time I ran .

My sweet child and I enjoy Spring by planting plants, playing ball outside, grilling some pineapple with coconut milk, bubbling our neighborhood, and MANY other outdoor activities. Plus, I do not know about you but, I love dressing him in cute little Spring clothes!!

My Husband also loves Spring because he can put us to work on making our yard look better plus he gets us into at least one major outside project. This year we have selected to get our front porch redone and take out our deck putting in a bigger wooden deck or replacing it with a concrete patio! Excited to post photos after everything is done!!!

Last but not least on our list for Spring is cleaning, which oddly enough I love, AND traveling some!!!

Hope you are having an awesome sunny first day of wonderful Spring!!!!!
