____ 1. Have a back yard campout. With summer coming to an end, now is a good time for a camping trip, with a twist. Instead of going somewhere, pitch your tent in your back yard, but make sure to turn off the sprinklers. You don't want to wake up to water hitting your tent. Leave all electronics in the house, so that your family can enjoy talking and building family bonds. Remember the marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate for S'mores. If you don't have a fire pit, you can roast the marshmallows over the grill. Read some (slightly) spooky stories if you so dare. And if you're against sleeping outside, stay outside late, star gaze, and then just retreat inside to your comfy bed.

____ 2. Clean those summer prints. As summer draws to a close, and kids are soon to head back to school (in person or virtually this year), your windows probably need some care. Take some time to clean the windows, including the glass in the storm doors. Remove the screens, squirt some dish soap onto them, scrub, and rinse them. Then let them dry...outside...while you wash the windows inside and out. Remember to use a toothbrush to loosen the dirt in the window tracks. Newspaper or lint-free cloth works very well for a streak free shine, or use a squeegee. Vinegar in hot water makes for a good window cleaner. Then sit back and enjoy your shiny windows. Of course, if you have too many windows to tackle at once, divide them up over a number of days.

____ 3. Organize containers and lids. Do you have containers without matching lids, and lids without matching containers, in your cupboard? Start by removing all containers and lids from your cupboards. Then get to work playing a matching game. You can do this by yourself, or with your family. Any containers or lids without a matching partner get recycled. Once you have everything matched up, stack containers together by shape and size, along with the lids. The lids can be placed in a basket or two or into Ziploc bags. Store all round in one and all square in another, lined up small to large.

At the end of the day or on the weekend, the last thing that you want to do is clean your house, right?! It's definitely not what I want to be doing. After all my hard work, I want my nights and weekends to myself...for family and fun stuff. In light of this, I searched for and found a wonderful resource that helped me..and can help YOU get your house as clean as you want it to be, without taking up all of your time in the process.

The difference is that it helps you to clean smart instead of cleaning long and hard. You'll have the clean home you've always wanted, AND you'll have tons of time to enjoy life.
