Sugar and Spice, Cleaning is Nice

It’s Fall, y’all! Who else is excited?

I don’t know about you, but there’s something magical with the sweater weather. In fact … Autumn or much better known as Fall is my second favorite season. Personally, I think it brings loved ones together –effortlessly.

I can’t get enough of the cozy vibes it brings about. The chilly mornings invite a warm chocolatey drink to enjoy with the family. The rustling of leaves makes you want to snuggle under a fuzzy blanket with your favorite book or novel. Above it all, the relaxing, quiet ambiance pairs well with toasty marshmallow evenings. This specific season is especially dear as I grew up in the Philippines with a tropical and maritime climate.

Except … before I can enjoy this beautiful season, I have to do a general cleaning to keep up with the tiny little hands that leave a handful of sticky surprises throughout our home. Having boys will surely test your patience yet melt your heart away with just one look and smile. I’d go from “how could you smear the yogurt all over…?” to “it’s okay, mommy will help you clean it up” in a heartbeat.

Now let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. You’re fueled with love and passion. Nothing can stop you now. Until you realize the products you have been using are no longer good enough for you AND your family. The kids deserve so MUCH more! So I am sharing my FIVE newest finds that quickly became a household staple to our home …

Two toddlers later, I have recently realized that keeping a house clean, organized, and kid-friendly means adjusting from the typical products and habits that I have grown accustomed to. Let’s be frank. It is much easier to keep purchasing the same household staple than researching which products in the market are sustainable, safe for kids (and even pets!), and effective without toxic chemicals. With our kids in mind, I did the hard work and researched the best products to suit our needs.

Cleaning is a day-to-day battle in our home. I don’t know how other parents do it, but it seems like the sticky clothes and piles of laundry just keeps stacking day in and day out. Maybe it’s just us, but it sure feels like it comes together with the toddler phase. I considered looking into the matter further, and from what I hear from my best friend, who now has a teenage son, they too have some laundry routine to sort out. It’s like I am looking into a window of what’s about to come. Since I am looking into new products, I figured why not start with laundry? Everyone and I literally mean EVERYONE, has some dirty laundry to deal with … for sure, someone is also looking into a natural AND effective alternative. Enter Grab Green!

Since I work from home, keeping an inviting ambiance is a must. I rarely go out unless it’s essential. The day-to-day scenery eventually becomes dull, and my sanity begs for a bit of change. Adding some indoor plants to our home does wonders. Re-arrange some furniture, greenery, and presto! Instant mood-boosting surrounding. Here’s the thing though I love caring for plants, BUT I honestly do not have a green thumb. Thankfully, “I Love My Plants,” A Gardening Journal by RP Studio, helps me track my gardening progress! It’s a super cute guided journal full of informative sidebars to use for indoor as well as outdoor plants. I also love that it features sections for free-form writing and planning.

Considering adding house plants to your home? Make sure to grab “I Love My Plants” from Running Press! While I can’t find much information on whether indoor plants affect air quality, I found science-backed benefits –gardening relieves stress, boosts creativity, productivity, and can be therapeutic, especially for those dealing with anxiety and depression.

Now that we got the important details covered, get yourself a plantmate today. Thank me later!

Back to the kids. The usual topic in my daily programming. Ha! That sounds like a tv show series that I am following. Except, this is a real-life scenario.

But one thing is for sure, we all could use a little spritz or two of air freshener to get rid of certain unwanted smell.
