Speaking of glass...

I got water spots on the outsides of my windows at home. Tried everything. Vinegar, ammonia, bleach, soap, water, rags, scrub brushes, etc. It looks clean when I'm done, but when I got back inside and the sun shines on the glass...there they are. Spots.

Someone recommended CLR, but after reading the precautions, I decided I didn't want that stuff in my house. Baby Jessie comes to visit a lot these days.

A big net curtain or blind will hide them!

WW, are they double paned windows?

Two things that have been the saving grace for our home:

1. You get it out, you put it away. Even our young children help with clean up.

2. If it hasn't been used for a year, it probably won't be used so give it away, throw it away, or sell it. This has helped with clutter. Less stuff, less to pick up!!

I definately agree to have the kids help. You cannot believe the amount of friends my kids have that do not lift a finger around their house. Not my kids!!!
