Best quote I saw this morning: “May flowers bring…Snow showers?” (this is how most of us in Northern Ohio woke up this morning)
It’s the second weekend of May which means it’s Mother’s Day weekend. I want to believe that my Mom was genuinely happy (although probably not surprised) to see the bouquet of freshly cut Lilacs arranged in a vase sitting on our kitchen table every Mother’s Day. Though she would have to apologize to the neighbors for her son butchering their lilac tree. Good memories!
Before I get into what I’ve put together for this week’s email, I want to let you know that I will (soon-ish?) have a Facebook page coming “live”. I will update you when that actually happens.
This week’s topic will give you a glimpse into my “list of things to do” this weekend: spring cleaning tips!
I have a link to a short article/blog I came across the other day. Here are the main ten topics:
- Make a Schedule
- De-clutter
- Always work from top to bottom
- Use a HEPA vacuum
- Think Green when you Spring Clean
- Wall and Windows need Love too
- Don’t be scared of the Kitchen and Bathroom
- Don’t forget about your Air
- Have Severe Allergies: protect yourself
- Let Spring Cleaning set a new Tone
This link will get you to the article: https://www.sylvane.com/blog/spring-cleaning-tips-and-checklist/
The main reason I decided to share this article versus others I came across is they have a “to-do” checklist per room that you can print out. I love having checklists… to hand out to my daughters!
As always, I hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy – both physically and mentally. I will continue to monitor your “financial health” from my vantage point. Remember that both Rhona and I are here for you; please do not hesitate to reach out to us with concerns or questions.
Additionally, and I was remiss in not putting this into last week’s email, Rhona’s birthday was this past week. Usually we will try a new restaurant for lunch or I’ll get her something she and her husband can do together which couldn’t really happen this year. If you want to send her a birthday wish, albeit late (you can blame it on me), I think she’d appreciate it.
Until next week… let’s see, step 1: Make a Schedule…
