I have a secret to tell you. For a few blissful months during the summer, I paid a friend to come and clean for me. It was AMAZING! She did a fantastic job on keeping my home sparkling, and I was able to focus on doing other things that I love. I highly recommend it for all who can afford it. Unfortunately, I could no longer afford her, and so I’m back to cleaning my own grody toilets. If you work full-time, or DIY and blog full-time, then you know all-too-well how crazy the house gets. My husband raised an eyebrow at me tonight with our unusually clean and organized home. I’m sure he was thinking the following…
So true and so funny!

I’m having trouble getting into the “Fall Swing of Things.” Possibly because it’s 98 degrees here which makes Pumpkin Spice Lattes just sound……hot.
I’m also having trouble getting into the swing of cleaning. But that has nothing to do with the weather. Perhaps your friend is willing to travel?
Thanks as always for the party and the great ideas.

That is so funny about your husband and the cleaner
I agree, having the house cleaned by someone is the best! I ‘m loving the rag garland and stenciled autumn vase.
