November 26, 2014 by Kathryn 499 Comments

Living in a house that doesn’t have much carpet, but that has three different levels to clean, vacuuming is a chore that I don’t enjoy very much. Lugging the vacuum up and down the stairs, plugging it in, unplugging it, moving it again…by the time I’ve finished vacuuming the small amount of carpet my house has, I don’t want to do anything else for the rest of the day!

But Hoover is here to make my life easier with the brand new Hoover Air Cordless Upright Vacuum. This new full-sized vacuum is cordless and lightweight, so moving it around the house is as quick and simple as can be. In fact, it weighs less than ten pounds! And with no cords to plug and unplug, vacuuming different rooms on different levels couldn’t be easier. [Read more…]

December 13, 2013 by Kathryn 54 Comments

There is nothing worse than having to drag around a big, hefty vacuum to clean carpets in a house. But having tried a few different vacuums over the years, I also know that lighter stick vacuums often don’t do more than sweep off surface dirt from a carpet. So if you’ve ever longed for a vacuum that has the light and portable design of a stick vacuum and the deep cleaning power of a full-sized vacuum, the Shark Rocket Ultra-Light Upright Vacuum is your dream come true!

This multi-functional upright is the ultimate floor-cleaning machine. It never loses suction and deep cleans as effectively as a top-of-the-line full size upright vacuum. But with the ability to use the vacuum as a handheld unit and the option of using it on both hard floors and carpet, it has enough versatility to make it an essential in any household.

Three Easy Tips to Help Busy Moms Keep a Clean House

September 30, 2013 by Kathryn 8 Comments

I am not a big fan of cleaning but with two active boys in the house, it’s something I have to make sure I do every day. Just one day of skipping chores inevitably means that I have to deal with dirt tracked into the house, toys all over the floor and sticky fingerprints on the furniture. Of course, working from home and taking care of my boys means that I really don’t have much time to clean. That’s why over the last few years, I’ve learned that multi-tasking throughout the day helps ensure that mess stays minimized. These three tips are little things that let me end a busy day with my house still looking great!

1) Clean Morning and Night

One of the easiest ways to make sure that my house is organized is simply to take 15 minutes both first thing in the morning and last thing at night to tidy up. Morning is my time to make the beds and pick up the toys that my early-bird boys tend to pull out for a little before-school playtime. Before bed, I sweep the kitchen, stack the dishes and tidy the counters for the next morning. They’re small things, but they make a big difference in helping my house feel organized. [Read more…]
