Read a Book

If you find yourself spending hours on Facebook and in need of a break, why not carve out some time for an actual book.

I don't think I need to spend time telling why books are good (knowledge, experience, they're free from the library...), but I can tell you how to find a good one.

Try out GoodReads.com. You can track what you've read, see what your friends are reading and find recommendations for something great.

Check out my profile as a place to start. I only read fantastic and fascinating books.

Spring Cleaning

It's that time of year again. I am so excited for Spring that even the thought of a good Spring Cleaning can't bring me down.

I found a list of ten great tips from QuickHousecleaning-Tips.com. I've listed the ten tips below. See the website for more details.

• Make a housecleaning schedule
• Survey each room in your home
• Get help
• Gather your cleaning supplies
• Use natural cleaning products
• Get clutter free
• Get rid of distractions
• Get some housecleaning music - Try Slacker Radio!
• Make a housecleaning maintenance plan
• Hire a housecleaning service (don't get excited, it's only recommended once per year)

The basic point here is that a little planning will make the whole endeavor a lot easier.

I like the tip about using natural cleaning products, so you can clean without killing yourself! Check back here soon for some tips on making your own natural cleaning products.
