Being the trend setters that we are...ok, we really aren't that trendy and are more like followers after something is proven to be cool and to be quite honest not to much of a fade...I thought I would share some of the top items in our household that keeps this house running...no one has paid me to say anything positive about their products (although that would be pretty cool) just wanted to share the love I have with some of the stuff I use on a daily basis. If you have any products you think I should try leave a comment and I will look into testing it out in our
1. Mrs Meyers Clean Day
LOVE A LOT! Hooked on the lavender scent, heck the boys even like it ;) I was able to score a stockpile at Target when they had $1 off coupons each bottle and buy 3 get a $5 gift card...big savings! My hands don't seem to be as dry from all the hand washing I do and I can smell when the boys have washed up or not ;)
2. Shark Steam Mop
When I had planned to become a FCC provider I decided that I wanted to try to eliminate using chemicals on where all those little babies would be crawling around on. Plus I really was tired of buying refills for the swiffer all.the.time. Love how easy it is to use, and really LOVE that the floors are clean with no sticky cloudy residue and it dries super fast. It does take a little time to get it warmed up, although by the time I vacuum all the crumbs up it is ready to go. It came with two microfiber cloths that I just throw into the washing machine with the whites when I am done using it.
3. Dyson Animal DC17
I have had my Dyson for over 3 years now and can't believe how well it works. Every stinking day I seem to use it...we do have 3 little boys and a dog so lots of traffic. See all the groody stuff in the canister, that from when the carpet "looked" clean...yeah it looks like I sheared a sheep in there. One thing I wish was that it was lighter to carry up and down the steps and the initial cost to purchase it was a little hard on the checkbook.
New to the whole Scentsy craze, but went to my first party before Christmas and received some free samples from the Scentsy lady down the street. I am in love with the Eskimo Kisses scent for in the 1/2 bath and laundry room area...clean, crisp and cool smelling...totally different then when you are huffing smelling all those little samples and becoming week in the knees from the lack of oxygen. I took advantage of the 10% off sale last night and stocked up with 2 bricks (now discontinued...tears!), they should last me a couple months!
5. Lysol Wipes
I know I can use a rag and some homemade concoction that is just as affective and way cheaper...but I have three boys, 2 of which are old enough to "clean" some of their own messes. Using the Lysol Complete allows them to scrub off all that extra hardened toothpaste off the counter top or to wipe off the toilet...ew! Again I look for coupons and stock up when I think I can get them the cheapest and have a stash in each bathroom and in the kitchen.
I have more then five favorite things, but I can't tell you all my secrets in one post...there will probably be another time where I need blog fodder ;)

This was perfect! I too am all about the Lysol wipes, will be getting a Dyson as soon as my horrible vacuum dies, and wanted to try something new on my floors. So thank you!
We have the vacuum/steam shark-- you can suck up all the crap on the floor that is not affixed to it and then take that off and steam mop it. I cheat and put just a smidgen of Greenworks in the water to give it the clean smell I need to know I actually did something. Love it!
Cindi-I'm tempted to put some lemon juice in the water just to see if it will satisfy my need for smelling clean as well...thanks for the tip on the Greenworks!
MaryAnn-I really do love the steam mop, I wish I would have gotten the one with the different shaped steam heads though. I still have the problem with getting corners clean and end up hand scrubbing if I think of it. Overall though I am really happy with not having to buy refills, not having that cloudy residue/stickiness, and how fast it dries!
