Our dog won't eat anything but dog food. We considered trying to get our money back, but he was free.
Luckily my two nasty little boys like to scrounge for cheerios on the floor when they get hungry.

Too funny! For cleaning out my car I have my kids bring ALL their crap in out of the car every few days. It still needs vacuuming but otherwise I fear they won't have anywhere to sit with all their stuff back there.

Every time I get my 9 month old out of his high chair I say "We should get a dog to clean up his mess!" What I end up doing is putting him down on the floor and letting him find all his thrown-over puffs. Is that bad??

Hmmm…I think some people in my family already use the sock advice.

Great Post…very funny.

Thanks! We need the simple "real life" cleaning tips sometimes (smile).

Here's mine:

All-purpose household sanitizer: 1 part white vinegar, 1 part water.

enjoyed the post. A lab is good for hoovering any and every thing. I wrote a post not too long ago about toys growing out of the carpet in my living room. You think I would be able to market and sell them… but ap[arently every house has this same magic carpet

Audra! I have that method down pat! My friend who has quite a green thumb always makes fun of me.

I never realized how dirty a kitchen floor could be until we were dogless. Thankfully, we have two on duty now.

Here’s my real life tip:
Buy a plant and put it somewhere where you can admire it. Don’t worry about watering it. This is the maintenance-free method.
You can enjoy your plant for about a month before it turns totally brown and shrivels up. Toss it, buy another one and repeat the cycle.

It seems to work for me.

Another van tip for easy cleaning. My daughter had chickens and a turkey. She also has a van and 5 kids. When she pulled in the driveway, actually when anyone pulled in, the chickens and turkey would come running to the van and try to get in as the kids were getting out. They would find all the fries, crackers etc. in no time and have to get shooed out. Sometimes they would not even let me out of my car before they were in trying to climb over me to see if I left anything behind!

Hilarious! The song you posted reminded me of the old Rio Diamond song “Stuff”:
Catalogs fillin’ up the mailbox
Home shopping on the cable box
And www dot
Oh there’s no escape
Delivery truck coming up ’round the bend
Beep, beep, beep, just backing in
Sign here and here and here again
‘Cause it’s no money down no payments till
Your whole place is cram packed filed with

Gratefully, Nicole

Thanks for visiting my blog on WFMW and for these down-to-earth cleaning tips. Glad to know I’m not the only one who doesn’t take myself so seriously.

Here’s a tip that’s working for me: put an empty ice cream bucket in the van to catch all the trash. Use a bigger bucket to catch all the toys in the van. Simple, but helps w/ van clutter.

I started throwing toys into a laundry basket but now I’ve run out of baskets and have nowhere to put the dirty clothes!
