June 30, 2010 By Melanie Edwards 19 Comments

Building a House

Taking Pride in a Clean Home

May 14, 2010 By Melanie Edwards 11 Comments

Cleaning Supplies

It seems like everyday I hear a woman talking about struggling to balance her life. You know that I am a believer of trying to find balance, at least whatever balance means to you.

April 26, 2010 By Melanie Edwards 20 Comments

Dinner Table

This post was first published on January 23, 2009. At that time, I was still working full-time outside the home. I’ve found that planning a dinner menu is beneficial for anyone, though.

March 1, 2010 By Melanie Edwards 7 Comments

Kid and Laundry Basket

Early last month, I posed the question, “Can Preschoolers Help Clean?” and provided a list of chores for preschoolers to do around the house. Many of you agreed that yes, preschoolers can indeed help clean around the house and even provided a few additional suggestions based on what your kids help with. One of the […]
