No More Soap Scum!!

Greetings!  This is the first post of The Many Adventures of a Modern Housewife, so welcome :0)

I had to tell you about this wonderful new product that I have found.  I'm not usually one to listen to the mindless ranting of solicitors, but for some reason I decided to hear the guy out. "It'll take the rust of and oil off your driveway," he said.  Guess what.... it did!  Well that's pretty cool. 

After talking to him for a while and him promising me that it will work on everything from asphalt to windows, I decided to purchase it.  

I have to tell you.... it's AMAZING!  I cleaned my countertops, stove, windows, toilet, shower, bathtub, and even the faucets that were covered in soap scum.  I don't know about where you live, but here in Albuquerque we fight with hard water every day.  Soap scum and hard water stains are always a headache and for a housewife like me, this was an answer to my prayers.

Getting Your Kids Involved

Who said us mom's had to do all the work when it comes to cleaning?  Why not get our kids involved and have them help you clean?!  I'm not talking about having them cleaning the oven or working with noxious fumes, but have them do small easy things like vacuuming, cleaning their room, having them help you with the laundry, etc.

I have my little one help me with house work all the time.  It makes her feel like a big girl and it helps me as well.

The Art of Ironing

There is just something satisfying about a nice crisp, clean, strait seam in a pair of pants. What's sad is that it is so easy to do on your own, yet hundreds of dollars are spent every year taking your clothes to the dry cleaner just to get the same thing. It surprises me how many men and women don't know how to iron.

I decided that this post was going to teach those of you out there who don't know how to iron, and maybe refresh or teach something new to those who do.  So grab a pile of fresh clean clothes, turn on some tunes (gotta make ironing fun) and lets get ironing!

First, here are the things you need:
