Wifely Steps

I have a new sidekick to combat dust: The Swiffer Duster. My Mom highly recommended this to me, so I decided to give it a try. My current microfiber cloth seems to work well enough so I was a bit reluctant. But hey, if Mama says it’s good, then it must be good. I’m so [...]

Me: (calling from the bedroom) Husby, my head is aching. Can you get me medicine please? H: (goes towards the kitchen) Where from? Me: The medicine kit. H: Where’s that? Me: It’s in the cabinet under the blender. H: (gets kit out, opens the kit) Which medicine? Me: (sighs) Look for the red and blue [...]

Isn’t it frustrating when you’re in need of a pair of scissors and you can’t find one? You know you placed it right there, on the kitchen counter, the last time you used it. You look all over the place and then ta-da, find that it’s sitting in your living room. Oh right, you used [...]

From Meme: Mementos: “A picture of your dresser.” – Rach “I’m curious about your toiletries, how you arrange them inside the bathroom and/or inside the drawer!” – eye I don’t have a dresser. Our closet has a couple of shelves and a mirror that I use to store my toiletries and other kikay stuff. Here’s [...]

There were icky marks on my stove, on my kitchen counter and on my kitchen floor. No matter how much I would try wiping it off with soap and water, the stuff just wouldn’t come off. Or if they would come off, it took a lot of huffing and puffing before they would disappear. Last [...]

I had another happy trip to Cost U Less. This time, I brought my whole family and we had a blast looking through all the cleaning materials. Yes, we are a quirky family. Even if it was Mother’s Day, my Mom gave me a cleaning product treat. See, I really wanted to get this one [...]

I wrote about my favorite cleaning wipes two months ago. Ironically, after that container ran out of wipes, I could not find that same product in True Value anymore. Not in Ace Hardware either. Nope. Not in SM. Not in any other stores I searched. Darn. I thought that was the end of my love [...]
