November Monthly Newsletter
It’s the last
month of fall this year. I am enjoying this last bit of beautiful weather. The
crisp air, the gorgeous leaves and the humming of holidays! I know I am already
thinking my Christmas cards, what I am going to make for Thanksgiving and even
what cookies I will be making. So many things will soon be added to your list
to do, that you may just go stir crazy. Don’t let the holidays make you insane.
Just start with your list to do, and delegate! One great way to delegate is to
get us in for your cleaning and organizing! Holidays have never been easier
with us! Have us pull down decorations, take them up, clean before and after
your parties, and get your house steam cleaned! All for 20% off from now till
December 31st!
Also it is a
sad farewell to 2 of our wonderful employees Holly and Patti, they are moving
on in the world to great adventures! We are bringing on 3 more girls! Hopefully
you will get to meet our newest members soon enough and you will fall in love
with them just as much as we have!
Organization
Idea of the Month
Holidays are
right around the corner. So you need your home to be organized to be able to
decorate, have family functions and find homes for the new items that are going
to be coming into your home. Here is a step by step process of how to create
that organized living space.
1. Start
with the busiest areas. Your living room and kitchen are usually the two
most used rooms in your home.
2. Use
storage containers. Make a trip to the store and get a bunch, and in
different sizes, depending on what you need for each room (you can return what
you don’t need).
3. Divide
your items into categories. If you like you can use trash bags or cardboard
boxes for this part. Everything that you find can go into one of 4 piles: KEEP,
THROW AWAY (into trash bags right away), GIVE AWAY (or SELL), and RELOCATE.
4. Remove
everything from the drawers and cabinets. This will be a time-consuming
process and can be overwhelming (at least for me) to have a bunch of little
stuff you have to figure out want to do with, but it is easier to start with a
clean slate and fill it instead of simply pushing things around.
5. Use of
all of your available space. In the kitchen, for example, appliances or
extra containers (items used less often) can be stored on top of the cabinets
if they don’t extend all the way to the ceiling.
6. Label
your containers. If you want to keep it simple use tape and a permanent
marker to mark the contents of your storage containers.
Cleaning
Idea of the Month
Soon
you will have to close up your hose, and outdoors will be too close to do any
outside work. So now is the time to clean out your garbage cans! Here is a
quick guide on how to do to!
Ingredients:
3/4 cup of Simple Green Disinfecting
1 gallon warm water
1 tablespoon powdered laundry detergent
1 gallon warm water
1 tablespoon powdered laundry detergent
Directions:
Hose out the garbage can with high pressure
setting on the hose and rinse. Mix the ingredients in a cleaning bucket and
pour into the trash container. Let sit for 15 minutes, then using a long
handled scrub brush, scrub the insides of the can. Rinse with the hose, and
turn it upside down in order to let all the water drain out of it.
Turn the garbage bin back around so that it is
right-side up, and let it dry in the sun all day
Finally….spray the inside of the garbage bin
thoroughly with a disinfectant.
Craft of the Month
Simple.
Let’s be thankful. Grab some construction paper, scissors and a heart to be
thankful. Build a tree made of construction paper and put leaves on it. Put 2
different kinds of leaves on it, one is being tissue paper to find some beauty.
The other leaves cut out of construction paper and write what you and your kids
and family are thankful for. Let them hang and be grateful.
