Prepping & Cleaning Your Home For A New Puppy

***SIGH*** You guys. We got a new dog.

I don’t think I’ve mentioned it here on the blog yet, but about a month ago, we lost our Taffy girl.

She was SUCH a great dog. We adopted her from the SPCA, and when we got her home, we discovered she was already completely trained. She barely bothered the cat. She survived through us bringing twins home. She was the happiest dog ever. We miss her SO VERY MUCH.

Yet, we are dog people. We adopt, we don’t shop. And my husband has been going on FOREVER about getting a chocolate lab, like the one he grew up with.

So…without further ado…meet Trixie!

She’s another rescue. She’s about a year old, from what we know. She has the sweetest disposition, but still she spent her first week with us destroying the house. Cue doggy school to learn some manners. She’s doing much better now!

How to Keep a Clean House With a Baby at Home

Congratulations! You’ve brought a new life into the world and now you’re experiencing the ups and downs of parenting. (This is what the typical new baby greeting card SHOULD say, right?!)

How to Keep a #CleanHouse With a #Baby at Home #cleanhome #newbaby Click To Tweet

You’ve probably been planning on this for quite some time, but once you’re ready to bring your little one home, the real challenge begins. Somehow, it’s up to you to keep a clean house while also looking after your infant.

Our twins were born one week before my birthday, and were in the NICU for almost a month, so my birthday present from my hubby that year was to have a cleaning company come to our house and deep clean it before the babies came home. I HIGHLY recommend this! As a new momma (who ended up delivering via cesarean a month and a half earlier than planned, and then spent almost as long trekking back and forth to the NICU to see the babies) knowing that I would bring them home to an immaculate house that was easier to maintain was the best gift ever!

Save Money on Everyday Items by Repairing Them Instead of Throwing Them Out

Society is moving towards a general consensus that it’s far better to repair and reuse than to discard and re-buy. And with good reason. First of all, who doesn’t like to save money? Second of all, our throwaway culture directly contributes to climate crisis. The process of incinerating our waste, especially plastic waste, uses fossil fuels and releases harmful chemicals into the atmosphere.

The throwaway fashion industry is one of the worst culprits, yet a number of companies are challenging the norm with novel ideas like making jeans from recycled denim or repairing sunglasses with new lenses. 

Support this green revolution at home and save yourself a few dollars in the process by making these simple repairs to everyday items.

Wobbly Wooden Chairs and Tables

Over time, wear and tear can cause wooden furniture to wobble. Wooden chair legs can become unstable and table legs can no longer reach the floor. You can fix both of these issues with simple items found in the home. First, let’s tackle the chair. A wobbly chair is the result of a gap between the top of one of the legs and the seat. Figure out which leg is the culprit and stick a wooden toothpick into the gap. Problem solved.

That includes knowing the right cleaning products to use.

Cleaning Tools

Using the correct cleaning supplies will ensure you don’t damage the exterior of your RV. Generally, use nonabrasive cleaning tools. An effective way to clean your RV and not leave any damage behind is to use the hose.
