I have been using some new routines when it comes to keeping my home clean, and I’m blown away at how well they work! I’ve been so inspired by the book Simply Clean by Becky Rapinchuk. Becky is the founder of Clean Mama and knows what she is doing when it comes to cleaning!
I am halfway through the book and I’m using the techniques and routines I list below in my ‘DO EVERYDAY HOME GOALS’ and ‘A CHORE A DAY GOALS’. I have more to learn but there is already a marked difference in my home, and I’m spending less time cleaning it!
I’m sure you will see the influence of this book in my upcoming posts.

Latest Obsessions

Manner Hazelnut Wafers
My favorite local coffee shop sells these Manner Wafers filled with Hazelnut cream. They are made in Vienna, Austria. They. Are. Delicious! My coffee shop sells them for 2.99 a package, so I was happy to find this deal on Amazon — a much better price! They come in the cutest little pack perfect to throw in your purse for a naughty but decadent sweet treat.
Kindle Fire
I am on the last and final season of Downton Abbey. I know, I know, I am a bit behind the times. I watch it on my Kindle Fire, in the evenings tucked in bed. It’s like my own perfect sized, personal television. Before I indulge, I make sure I read at least a chapter or two of whatever book is on my Kindle. I love using the same device to both read and watch.
Do It Again Song
Do It Again by Elevation Worship has been my song crush this week. So good.
“Your promise still stands
Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I’m still in Your hands
This is my confidence, You never failed me yet”
Essential Oil Diffuser
Still using it daily and love it! The Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser by AromaSoft is amazing for getting the scent out into larger rooms. It is priced very reasonably and works so well! After buying 4 other diffusers, I did some research, read a ton of reviews, and bought this one. I’m so happy I did!
