A new use for baby wipes

I found a new use for baby wipes today. They work well for cleaning up throw-up in the car. Along those lines, if you tell a child that Pepto Bismo is medicine then they refuse it. But if you tell them it is candy then they eat it and ask for more.

Stress Reliever

This week has been really stressful, and I've been thinking about stress relievers. Some that I've found are exercising, eating, talking, and cleaning. I think my personal favorite is spending time with my husband. Even if we're just cuddling while we watch a Jazz game, it helps to relieve the stress and help me get ready for the next day.

Phone Calls

Last night I had a lot of organizing to do. We had to buy a new crib because our old one got broken, and the new crib was too big to go back in the same place as the old one. So when my friend Jordan called, I decided to work on the organizing while I was talking to her. It was amazing how fast the work went, and I got to talk to a good friend at the same time. Try it out some time.

Movies

Do you have a stack of movies on or next to your TV? Take a few minutes to put the DVD's or Tapes into the right boxes and then put them away. It shouldn't take too long, but will be worth the time spent.

Microwave Time

When you're making something in the microwave what do you do while you're waiting? This is an excellent time to wipe off the counter, or put a few dishes in the dishwasher. It's usually less than 3 minutes, but that's 3 minutes that aren't wasted.

15 Minutes 2

So after you've cleaned something for 15 minutes then what? If it is something that really needs to get finished then take a 15 minute break (don't forget to set a timer) and then get back to it. Another alternative is to use this method to clean your house. Spend 15 minutes in each room, alternating rooms until all the rooms are clean.
Some advantages to this are that you don't get bogged down in your cleaning, it keeps you moving, and there is more motivation to finish quickly.
