Fall Cleaning with Mr. Clean #15MinReno #PGmom

Fall has proven to be quite a busy time in my household. I started a new job in August and I'm still adjusting to the responsibilities and hours. This has left little time for blogging and even LESS time for cleaning.

When I was preparing for Thanksgiving, a noticed a lot of things that needed to be fixed - but that might only be noticed by me. Since the craziness of the fall long weekend is complete, I was able to take on a couple of those tasks with the assistance of Mr. Clean and his #15MinReno.

The first thing I tackled was some paint on the living room blinds. See the awesome transformation below:

Haunting Halloween Must-Haves from Hallmark Canada! #Giveaway #LoveHallmarkCA

"Mommy, how many more days til Halloween?" "Mommy, Halloween is in fall. Did you know it's fall now?" "Mommy, can I try on my Elmo costume again?"

This year, my kid is ALL about Halloween. It may have started when a fabulous box arrived from Hallmark Canada with some of their latest must-haves to celebrate the day.

Cleaning up for Thanksgiving with Mr. Clean #15minreno #PGmomgiveaway

I like Thanksgiving slightly better than Christmas. You get family time without snow, or the pressure of finding the perfect present. Thanksgiving, like Christmas, involves a tasty meal and family visits which leads to doing the deep clean before guests arrive and the turkey goes in the oven.

I like Mr. Clean Magic Erasers slightly better than my Swiffer WetJet. That Magic Eraser has save me mucho dollars over the years, especially with a preschooler (yes, it's taken "art" off our walls).

This year I'm using Mr. Clean Extra Strength to give my family the cleanest version of my home when they come to visit.

I Love You, You Love Me, Now the only thing on DD's Netflix is Barney #StreamTeam

Until recently, the only Barney on my Netflix was a wicked awesome New Yorker who throughly enjoys high fives, being awesome and making up rules for everyone to follow, while looking great wearing a suit (I'm talking of Mr. Stinson, from How I Met Your Mother, of course).

Hannah has taken to watching Netflix on my MacBook. It's a lot easier for her to scan shows that way, and one day she discovered Barney - the purple dinosaur. As a kid who loves to sing and dance, it was only a matter of time before she became obsessed - and obsessed she is.

When asked, why do you like Barney? Hannah responds, "Well, because he's my friend."
