Purex sent me a sample bar of Fels-Naptha laundry soap stain treatment and stain remover to try out, and little did they know that try it out we would! The first item I attempted was on little guy's shirt, his favorite, that has had locked in stains since the first day he wore it. I'm pretty sure there is red popsicle, some chocolate, some salsa, and some other icky things on this nice white shirt.<br />

To treat the stubborn stains I opened my Fels Naptha bar and got it wet and then scrubbed the spots on the shirt. Then I put it in the laundry basket until that evening when I started a load of laundry a few hours later. I washed it with the other whites in hot water.</div>

Here's how it came out! Looking like new-no stains, nice bright color. He, of course, managed to dirty it again the next time he wore it, but I was smarter this time and used the Fels Naptha again! </div>

Since the Purex Fels Naptha proved itself a great stain remover, I took it next to the carpet. It's sort of hard to tell from this picture, but it appears to be an old grape juice stain or something. It was here when we moved in a few months ago and the professional carpet cleaners weren't able to get it out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So out came my Fels Naptha (not sure if it was intended to be used on carpet, but figured it couldn't hurt to try!) </div>

How does one get the power of Oxi and Zout stain remover without buying the big tub of powder and stain spray and combining that with a scoop of detergent and spending too
much time in the laundry room just working on stains and dirty clothes? Well check this out!</div>

Just opening the bag I could smell the fresh scent of outdoors all in their own little packets. They were begging to be chosen on my husband's smelly yard work clothes and musty towels we had under the mudroom sink. <br />

I tried this at our Safeway today and it worked perfectly. The store I stopped by was small with only three flavors, but larger stores should have a better selection. <br />
<br />
There are a lot of things you can do with Kool-Aid, more than just make a refreshing (and high sugar) drink. <br />
A few of my favorites-<br />
Use it for <a href="http://fabulesslyfrugal.com/dying-easter-eggs-with-kool-aid/" target="_blank">Easter Egg Dye </a><br />

I love pets, but I don't care to smell them! We've cleaned, steamed, washed, scrubbed and that has helped about 99%! I love our home and clothing to smell fresh so I was very excited to try out new Purex Fabric Softener Sheets!<br />

Especially nice is that they come in a scent that matches our lifestyle, Mountain Breeze. It's rather cloudy, but Mt. Rainer is just above the treeline! <br />

Here's my new laundry room. It's a mess so sorry about that. For those of you who knew my laundry hallway in Alaska, this is a huge space compared to that, eh?! See how nice the box of Purex Fabric Softener Sheets fit in? <br />

They have a great, strong scent. It isn't flowery or overpowering. It's nice, light, but long-lasting. I can reuse one sheet about three times before tossing it out. It also comes in Lavender Scent.<br />

They have done great things for our towels, reducing the static cling and making them smell fresh and the softness of them lasts for days before use. <br />

Other great uses I've found for Purex Fabric Softener Sheets is to leave a couple lay on the top shelves in our closet, and to stick them into the open screens so the breeze can bring in their fresh scent!<br />

My only complaint about the box of Purex sheets is that they only come in a box of 40. It would be nice to see them sold in a larger box of 100 or so.<br />

Both my husband and I enjoy the scent of Coconut Water, it's refreshing with a hint of coconut and keeps my skin soft and moisturized. I like that we can share the same bottle of soap and not have a couple cluttering up the space in the shower!<br />

We are working on getting settled into our new home in Washington state and I am very happy to have my first post from here be a giveaway!<br />
<br />
Growing up I used to wish we lived on the prairie, or in a covered wagon, or without electricity (why, I have no idea)! I'm pretty sure if I had lived during that time I would most certainly used 20 Mule Team Borax to keep my wagon or cabin clean and stain free. This product has been around since 1891 and there is an interesting story as to where it gets it's name <a href="http://www.20muleteamlaundry.com/heritage/why-20-mule-team/">HERE</a>. <br />

Borax provided me with a free sample of their product in exchange for my honest review and opinions. I couldn't wait to get scrubbing! The house we bought was home to both a large dog and hairy cat apparently, because there were stains and hair everywhere. I made a mixture of Borax and water and scrubbed down the baseboards and some set in carpet stains and was amazed by it's cleaning power! Also sprinkled some in the toilets and swished it around with the scrubber then let it sit for about 30 minutes. After one flush they looked new-so sparkly and smelling much better! It did wonders for my kitchen sink and disposal. Not stopping there I put a few tablespoons into the laundry of dirty towels we've been using to clean the house and they came out looking new.<br />

The past eight years have taught us more than I ever knew I could learn. Now that we are moving "out" it feels like that time was but a blink of an eye. <br />
My children are both "Alaska Grown" and I feel like I've become a stronger wife and mother for all the lessons of life we've learned here. Living outdoors for long periods of time (camping!), adjusting to light/darkness and the seasons, learning to be conscious of animals you can't trust, and making some of the most real friends you are happy to call your Alaska family. I'm going to miss all that!<br />
We're moving to a suburb of Seattle in a few days and I'll hopefully get back to blogging a little bit more when we get settled. I've got a couple of reviews for new products I'm excited to share with you and hopefully a couple of fun giveaways too!<br />
Thanks for reading and best wishes for a warm, dry summer! <br />
Farewell Alaska!<br />

I was chosen to review a sampler box of Cafe Escapes hot drinks from <a href="https://www.bzzagent.com/">BzzAgent</a>, a company I am loving more and more each month!

My husband kept telling me I needed one and I kept saying I didn't have time to figure out how to use it. When I found out about mobile coupons from Target, I told him "I NEED one!"<br />
<br />
So here I am with a smartphone (that I still don't have time to learn how to use) that has all of four apps on it. One is Stack the States that my four year old is addicted to, but hey, she's learned the names, capitols, locations, flags, and random facts about all 50 states. The other three are these:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://shopkick.com/img/shopkick-logo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://shopkick.com/img/shopkick-logo.png" /></a></div>
<a href="http://app.shopkick.com/wr2/campbell5231">SHOPKICK</a><br />
Shopkick was my first app. You earn "kicks" by walking into certain stores, more for spending money there, more for scanning certain items, and some by browsing their ads. You can then redeem points for $2 Target cards, $5 Starbucks cards and things like that.<br />
I've had the app for about 3 months and have made $25 in Starbucks cards. I don't go to Anchorage much, but have the app open when I do go to Target or Best Buy and have managed to get this many, so it's worth it to me!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="http://ibotta.com/r/9h9BMw"><br /></a>
<a href="http://ibotta.com/r/9h9BMw">IBOTTA</a><br />
Ibotta is a cool looking app that is sort of like an online grocery store. You pick which items you want to "buy" and load up the savings. You can scan the item at the store to make sure you buy the right thing and you can also use a paper coupon on the item. After your purchase you simply use the app to download a photo of your receipt and get the savings put into your account. You can cash out through PayPal or as a check in the mail when you reach $5 in savings. Just today at Fred's I earned $6 from all the Kellogg's cereal deals!<br />

<a href="https://www.endorse.com/referral/Beth/YZuTn-gmByrrdQLLnjdJMo9w==AB">ENDORSE</a><br />
Pays you back a percentage of things you buy each week. My favorites are 50% back on diapers, 100% back on coffee, or even 10% back on gas! Paypal is their form of payment. <br />
<br />
All of the above have my referral link, so I can earn while you earn! Some give you bonus points for using a referral.<br />
<br />
Happy shopping! <br />

I also tried the Basilico sauce with our homemade chicken parmesan. It wasn't my favorite sauce, but it was good and might be better with just plain spaghetti rather than paired with breaded chicken. I think there were just too many flavors in the seasoned bread crumbs and Italian cheese we used. It was nice and chunky though and tasted great on it's own. We used some the next night as a dipping sauce for breadsticks and it was really good.<br />

We've been happily brewing Private Selections ground, bagged coffee in our eco-brewer cups and look forward to trying other flavors! Here it was at our birthday party spread!<br />
<br />
So if you haven't tried Private Selections branded items from Fred Meyer, I encourage you to keep and eye out for them. They are found everywhere in the store from the deli to the jams and crackers! <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
As one proud <a href="https://www.bzzagent.com/member/MemberHome.do">BzzAgent</a> member, I was sent a box of Green Mountain Coffee Wellness Collection K-Cup samples to try out in exchange for my honest opinion.<br />
<br />
First of all I was a little skeptical about coffee with antioxidant vitamins or L-Theanine in them. That just sounded strange to me. I take vitamins so why put them in my coffee? They taste gross if you don't swallow them whole don't they?<br />
<br />Well boy was I wrong! This coffee is excellent! It's a smooth, light flavored, non-vitamin tasting coffee and if you didn't know what was in it you'd never be able to tell. I'd compare it a lot to the regular line of Green Mountain, but with the added benefits. <br />
<br />
Here are some facts about the Green Mountain Wellness Collection you may not know-<br />
<ul class="bullet">
<li>Launched in September 2012 with two brews — Focus Blend<sup>™</sup> and Antioxidant Blend</li>
<li>Focus Blend<sup>™</sup> contains 50mg of L-Theanine per serving</li>
<li>Antioxidant Blend is a good source of antioxidant vitamins C and E</li>
<li>Includes only Fair Trade Certified<sup>™</sup> coffees</li>
<li>Is available for purchase online at GreenMountainCoffee.com/Wellness and Keurig.com.</li>
</ul>
I'm usually pretty faithful to my one brand of coffee, but I'm ordering some of this from <a href="http://www.keurig.com/coffee/antioxidant-blend-k-cup-gmc">Keurig</a>, I like it so much!<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading, happy coffee drinking! <br />

Those are often followed by prayers of healing and comfort for the families of the precious lives that were taken in such an unthinkable manner.<br />
<br />
My mom was the original recipient of a note from a stranger, tucked under her wiper blade in the WalMart parking lot. It was a simple card with a huge message. "Dear Neighbor," it started. Inside were 26 hearts, 26 names to remember and honor with a simple message, "Kindness-Pass It On" and a $5 bill.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/400085_131582430334324_1783073760_n.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/400085_131582430334324_1783073760_n.png" width="229" /></a></div>
<br />
I found a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/26acts">facebook page</a> with the origination of this kindness idea. If you are at all interested in doing small, random acts of kindness <a href="https://www.facebook.com/26acts">this page</a> is a great place to start! Lots of ideas from big to small, all with the same message, "If you do good, you feel good." And I'm willing to bet that the more people feel good about being kind to strangers the better we can become as a town, city, state, and country.<br />
<br />
This is a project that I immediately felt I could do. Ever since I was young I've been one of the helper people. I'm not a good leader, not a good initiator, not a good speaker, but I am a good listener and love to do things by "stealth" and go unnoticed or unknown. Everyone's gifts are welcome in this endeavor.<br />
<br />
<br />
A month or so ago I wrote to some of my favorite food companies requesting help in helping folks around my town this Thanksgiving and Christmas. I was hoping to do a coupon giveaway or something like that, but the responses kept trickling in and I wasn't able to finish it in time for either holiday. Then I found 26 Acts of Kindness and decided this was the perfect opportunity to share what these companies so graciously sent me to pass along!<br />
<br />
I'd like to publicly thank a few awesomely good companies that have enabled me to help others this season (and encourage you to try their products if you haven't already!)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.vansfoods.com/">Van's Frozen Foods</a><br />
<a href="http://www.schar.com/us/">Schar </a><br />
<a href="http://www.rhodesbread.com/">Rhode's Breads </a> <br />
<br />
and a HUGE thank you to<br />
<a href="http://www.chobani.com/">Chobani</a><br />
for their generous donation!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I spent the evenings writing up cards and including fun coupons, free rental codes, and even a few gift bags and have been having a lot of fun passing them out or leaving them around randomly.<br />
<br />
Hopefully this will catch on and keep going. Everyone can use a little note or gift and you never know just how much it could mean to someone that you thought of them.<br />

Must be that every mass store seems to have a coffee shop advertising things like "Peppermint Mochas, Gingerbread Lattes, ect" and charging folks a hefty price for a cup of momentary bliss! <br />
<br />
I was contacted by <a href="http://www.shespeaks.com/">SheSpeaks</a> to participate in a blog review of Torani Syrups this holiday season and I'm excited to tell you about the flavors they sent me...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwr3iKG7PB9-UORxTxU8IXTrgkUL34aY7z_9ZzxTjRR0r_at0yHRXQqGYGeEPnexT6WBsOCDXi3HZGKK1pcoYcasIpUFfR_KeSxCQbsKWh5UjLIKF-vNZeuG220QsUuWuc7YjAj5a3VujY/s1600/IMG_1558.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwr3iKG7PB9-UORxTxU8IXTrgkUL34aY7z_9ZzxTjRR0r_at0yHRXQqGYGeEPnexT6WBsOCDXi3HZGKK1pcoYcasIpUFfR_KeSxCQbsKWh5UjLIKF-vNZeuG220QsUuWuc7YjAj5a3VujY/s320/IMG_1558.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
My favorite syrup is Torani Gingerbread Syrup! I'm normally a peppermint mocha kinda gal so this was a little new for me and I'm so glad I tried it. I like sweet coffee so I mix in a little cream and sugar and it's exactly like one of those high-priced drinks-except I made it in my own kitchen for way less cost!<br />
<br />
My husband loves the sugar free salted caramel Torani Syrup in his sugar free hot chocolate and since he likes watching his sugar intake he was happy they made this flavor.<br />
<br />
Torani makes dozens of flavors and sugar free flavors like toasted marshmallow, almond roca, pomegranate, sugar free gingerbread, and sugar free salted caramel to name just a few! I have a small bottle of Torani Tangerine Syrup that we use to make delicious Italian Sodas!<br />
<br />
You can also shop Torani online <a href="http://shop.torani.com/">HERE</a>, but they do charge an extra $8 in addition to regular shipping fees for Alaska. Sort of high, but if there's a flavor you're looking for-at least they ship here.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was selected to receive and review two wonderful flavored Torani
Syrups from SheSpeaks and was sent Sugar Free Salted Caramel and
Gingerbread to try out in exchange for a blog post of my true feelings about their products. They were also awesome enough to mail a few
1.00 off coupons for future use (I love setting them by the product in
the store or handing them to someone I see buying one). You are able to
download and print one for yourself <a href="http://commonkindness.com/coupon/perm/id/1465">HERE</a>! <br />

So far my sweet man of a husband has been home to get a lot of this done or I would be way far behind. He leaves on a trip soon so hopefully the next few days are easy ones!<br />
<br />
Day 6<br />
1.) Got dressed, got breakfast, got coffee, made no such list, and just lived the day!<br />
2.) Constantly picking up and putting away items around the house. This is a never ending job.<br />
3.) That sweet man I mentioned earlier cleaned out my mom mobile and vacuumed it with his new shop vac. I now have a big bag of junk to sort through. <br />
<br />
Day 7<br />
1.) In my jammies, but had coffee, made breakfast, went to ballet (for my daughter-not me!), and organized my coupon book finally! Made no list.<br />
2.) I vacuumed a couple days ago so I'm just cleaning out the fridge and getting all the garbage around so sweet man can go to the dump tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Day 8<br />
1.) Jammies. Coffee. Healed wounds, owwies, and other ailments of my children. Finally got a shower about 10am. Cleaned up kitchen floor, cleaned out kitchen fridge and pantry, made two bags of groceries to take to food bank. Sweet man and kiddo off to drop that off and go to the dump! <br />
2.) Cleaned out my bra drawer (sorry, no pics! haha!) donated all of my nursing bras/pads because baby is DONE!<br />
3.) Off to wipe down doors/handles/railings!

Woke up early, showered, dressed, and ready to go by 830am. Unfortunately, there was nothing to do or anywhere to go so I did have my coffee and made breakfast for the fam.<br />
<br />2.) After breakfast, I enlisted the help of my husband who LOVES (really, not sarcastic here) to clean the leather furniture in the living room. It needed it too. I cleaned, he conditioned it. Looks and smells great!<br />
<br />
3.) I took a lot of time to myself by getting a lot of my online work done. I'm a member of a lot of product reviews, surveys, and a big-time seller of junk! :) It was nice to get some of that cleaned up in my inbox.<br />
<br />

It's 4pm. I'm still in my jammies. I do every once in a while get dressed up to go out, just not this week it seems!<br />
<br />
2.) I DID have my coffee and made this list- <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3.) And then I piled EVERYTHING on our bed. All the junk on the dressers, in the laundry baskets, under the bed...all of it went ON the bed! I absolutely hate unpacking suitcases so that black suitcase is still packed from when we got home from Memphis two weeks ago!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYmRzxgI_MoN7NY9ZloXdbqNVrw2-_Z3fAIUzcthJKNfLBTCOEHhg5pQGnajOUHCjSt9qA5WtCCr5FuB5Y7f3niHcE4lsv98r-WuY-NzZedOVIpKcjSRhWPtC-HJvk7S28AT7S4Q2enHZY/s1600/IMG_1339.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYmRzxgI_MoN7NY9ZloXdbqNVrw2-_Z3fAIUzcthJKNfLBTCOEHhg5pQGnajOUHCjSt9qA5WtCCr5FuB5Y7f3niHcE4lsv98r-WuY-NzZedOVIpKcjSRhWPtC-HJvk7S28AT7S4Q2enHZY/s320/IMG_1339.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
But look! After about an hour and a half of sorting, tossing, putting away, and laundry our bed now looks like this!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifQLQ9nS6yjkv9BfxyxIushimg36mx4bU6cTJLJYKGxdlQFvrfX8Q9ivp-M1T9g52SOL27rr4Cj_Q10_6oH4MFz4OLyEemZ5GtBTV8zMRaJd7dCflTAa55Azbj47zF1geG0V5pceSPSnes/s1600/IMG_1346.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifQLQ9nS6yjkv9BfxyxIushimg36mx4bU6cTJLJYKGxdlQFvrfX8Q9ivp-M1T9g52SOL27rr4Cj_Q10_6oH4MFz4OLyEemZ5GtBTV8zMRaJd7dCflTAa55Azbj47zF1geG0V5pceSPSnes/s320/IMG_1346.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
4.) I won't show pictures of our bathroom, but it's nice and clean now too. <br />
<br />
I also finished my list except for cleaning out my coupon bag. We cleaned up the upstairs living room, play room, and kitchen and got them swept and vacuumed. I got a couple more things listed for sale, but didn't sell anything today yet.<br />
<br />
It's only 4pm, so maybe after dinner I'll be able to attack those coupons and find a good deal or two to post!BEFFY!http://www.blogger.com/profile/03206173827533899491noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194459708774421716.post-62068944369299305512012-11-07T21:27:00.002-09:002012-11-07T21:27:33.751-09:00Day 31.) Okay, okay. I got up, showered, dressed, and ready all by 9am so my daughter and I could run to Target to hit 90% off Halloween clearance. We got a lot of fun dress up/play clothes for her and her brother for super cheap.<br />
<br />
2.) Because of the said trip to Target I skipped all list making activities. I did however stop by Starbucks to redeem my FREE reward coffee in the form of a Venti Peppermint Mocha. I also stopped by the food bank again with 6 grocery bags full of frozen donations. -see #4 for today<br />
<br />
3.) Cleaning our bedroom did NOT happen today.<br />
<br />
4.) I did clean out one of our 3 freezers! We worked on emptying it yesterday and I defrosted it overnight and sold it today. <br />

Now I'm sure I won't ever be able to wake up and put on something that feels nice or whatever. Nope. Jammies make me feel good!<br />
2.) I discovered a crack in my Keurig tank, so I'm not using it right now, but they are sending me a replacement. So instead I sat down with a chocolate milk. Here's my list to do today: <br />
Drop off a few bags of food we won't be using to the food bank (done!) <br />
Daughter to ballet (done!)<br />
List more things on Facebook for sale page (done!)<br />

3.) I enlisted the help of my husband to help clean the kitchen.
The counters weren't the only dirty things in there. With a baby who insists on feeding himself, the floor is the
epitome of grossness.<br />
So what should have taken 10 minutes ended up taking nearly an hour because we ended up cleaning the whole kitchen. <br />
But we now have clean counters, polished stainless appliances, clean-for-now floors, and even a clean toaster and Keurig!<br />
<br />
4.) Maybe I can do the inside of the fridge tomorrow. :)<br />

That's about how great the deals have been around here. LAME! <br />
I'm going to change up my blogging a little bit here and try doing a <a href="http://moneysavingmom.com/2012/11/4-weeks-to-a-more-organized-home-simplified-day-1.html">project with Crystal and MoneySavingMom.com</a> and keep track of my progress of organizing my home through my blog. My house seems to be very unorganized with a 4 and 1 year old and who knows, maybe it will also encourage me to keep blogging!<br />
I have to apologize for the "before" pictures of some of the rooms in my house. It's really bad. It seems I can clean one and by the time I'm onto the next my daughter is tornado-ing through the one I just cleaned. This sort of cycle has been happening since the first family I'm sure. Eve had just made a nice bed of leaves to sleep in, turned around to make some fruit salad and lo and behold, Cain and Abel were jumping on the bed! ARGH!<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;">1.) Get dressed in something that makes you feel great. </span><br />
Well, I pretty much skipped this one. I never feel great in anything other than jammies, so I stayed in my jammies for a few hours.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">2.) Sit down with a cup of coffee and make some goals for the week.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">This I can do. Thank you Keurig! Here's my list-</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMJL7JdHQrsE34em6s9Hpx1Mr9KxD4GjcnmQbLVGJBFQ8yTc1tzsZSjLK62Du53M0wjGIaC9bXanCUuw_O736juoCzbtS9iwP5QRAs6z9jFDffkLPo9pvpxgYe-KCVb84jGw-dFRwJwW5i/s1600/IMG_0706.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMJL7JdHQrsE34em6s9Hpx1Mr9KxD4GjcnmQbLVGJBFQ8yTc1tzsZSjLK62Du53M0wjGIaC9bXanCUuw_O736juoCzbtS9iwP5QRAs6z9jFDffkLPo9pvpxgYe-KCVb84jGw-dFRwJwW5i/s320/IMG_0706.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: blue;">3.) Set the timer for 15 min and clean the main areas of the house.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Well, I didn't set the timer since I was interrupted about 5 times while picking up the living room. But I did get it cleaned up, two children fed, and showered and dressed in between all that!</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: blue;">4.) Clean out your purse or diaper bag. Or in my case Coupon Bag!</span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Let's just say it's about 4pm and that hasn't happened yet and you don't want to see the mess that it is.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">However, even though I only partially followed this list, I was able to sell quite a few items through Facebook and Craigslist today, make a run to the bank, and have two more things lined up to sell tonight! We are moving in the spring (or sooner if our house sells) so I need to get things organized, packed, or sold!</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
