My House Would Be Cleaner If I Wasn’t So Lazy

April 26, 2009 By

Parent Bloggers Network is doing a blog blast this weekend about housecleaning.  I wish I had a snappy post for you with a chore chart and a cleaning schedule and great tips for managing those daily chores and the weekly ones or whatever, but here’s the truth:

I Am A Lazy Slob

I like having my house be clean, don’t get me wrong. I don’t actually enjoy looking down my laminate floor hallway and seeing dust bunnies and bits of god knows what, it’s just that I’m too lazy to DO anything about it.

And now that I’ve read a few of the other posts that PBN bloggers are doing on this topic, I have found my sisterhood. Heather, Jenny, please teach me the secret handshake and send me the t-shirt, cuz I also have a husband who does the dishes and the laundry after work (even though I’ve been home all day and have no good reason not to have done them myself except for being LAZY).

This blog blast is sponsored by Pledge Multi-Surface cleaning spray, but because I didn’t get the post emailed to PBN on time, I won’t be getting a free can of it in exchange for writing this post. I might win a $250 VISA card that they are giving to someone at random, so yay!

I’m also totally bummed, because Pledge has this website called How I Clean Now and there’s a video message from Trish Suhr of The Style Network’s Clean House. AND, it says five BLOGGERS are getting cleaning interventions from Trish! I LOVE TRISH.

And, in what must be the definition of irony, I LOVE Clean House. I love it so much that my oldest son, who gets up early for school and watches a little TV, RECORDS Clean House for me at 6 AM! I don’t like
to clean, but I sure like watching other people do it!

So anyway, click that link up there for How I Clean Now to print out a $2 coupon for Pledge Multi-Surface, and visit Parent Bloggers Network for links to more housecleaning (or lack thereof) posts.

Anyone else remember Press Your Luck?

November 21, 2008 By

For this weekend’s Blog Blast, Parent Bloggers Network is asking us to reminisce about our favorite game shows. I like game shows, I don’t watch any one of them regularly any more, but when I was a kid, my Grandma Sullivan got me hooked on The Price Is Right. I watched it during college if I had a free period during that time, and when I worked in an office, we could get CBS on the radio so we would listen to it from our desks. I found myself watching it again after Kaitlyn was born. I’m not as big a fan of it with Drew Carey, but I still try to play along with the games.

I also enjoy Jeopardy and  Family Feud, and I like to yell at the screen while watching Deal or no Deal. But the game show I always really had a soft spot for was Press Your Luck. Contestants had a big button in front of them, and they watched a light move around a screen with spaces on it for cash and prizes. The catch was, there were also spaces that brought up the “whammys”, little creatures who “ate” up everything they had won. So the contestants would yell “big bucks, big bucks, no whammys!” while they were waiting to press the button. It was a simple idea but lots of fun to watch.

How would you like a chance  to win an Arm Chair Holiday Shopping Sweep? You can shop like a mad woman on the old game show Supermarket Sweep, but do it from the comfort of home! Just write a post before 11:59 p.m. ET this Sunday including links to Parent Bloggers Network and the sponsor, Oliebollen.com. The winner will get 12 hours to buy any five different in-stock items at Oliebollen! Send your post link to parentbloggers@gmail.com. And start browsing around the Oliebollen site now so that you have your Shopping Sweep all planned out if you win!

Are you having trouble making ends meet in these tough economic times? Is there absolutely no way to stretch your dollar any further? On Wednesday, October 8, Oprah talks to a family that has been called one of the “thriftiest families in America” and we’ll meet a mom who has become an expert on how to make a lot out of very little. Watch what happens when our thrifty mom moves in with a family who needs to cut back, but doesn’t know where to begin. Can she help them learn to save instead of splurge? Plus, viewers across the country share their money-saving secrets.

You can view the promo here: http://media-file.net/9/oprah/ (takes a few minutes to download), and check your local listings for the time of the show in your area. I could definitely use more thrifty tips!
