How to clean your house. "for lazy people"

Yes, I said it, LAZY. you could also say; busy, I don't have the time, I'm too distracted, my kids are crazy, I'm too sore, my house is too big, my house is too small, I'm too "heavy", I'm not "heavy" enough (which is my case)...
There are so many things that can hinder our housekeeping to do list. I am writing this to show how important it is to keep it up and also some tips on cleaning quick when you just don't have the time!!! I know there are special cases where its legitimately hard to keep up the cleaning. And that's my purpose for this post.
FIRST, here is a bit about MY cleaning mishaps and how "lazy" I was when I was first married, 5 years ago...(without kids)

My reality as a stay at home mom


I studied to be a CCA (continuing care assistant). It was an 8 month program. We care for the elderly in their homes or in retirement homes. Where ever they are… Some people don’t think they could change a large diaper (Or “pad”, is what we called it) or assist in feeding/dressing someone with Alzheimer, but it’s easy to get used to. It’s either you have it or you don’t, I think. At first it’s a bit weird, but they need the love and care. I really enjoyed that job. For 4 years. I loved spending time with the residents and trying to make them smile at least once a day. It can be a very challenging job if there’s too much to do in a short period of time. But that was okay because that’s how I got my exercise ha ha ha. And if you work with people who are on the same wavelength as you then it makes it really fun!!


Then I became pregnant with Lil Gal. That’s when my journey as a stay at home mom started!

First comes marriage, then comes baby, then comes POTTY TRAINING!

I have to confess something, I REALLY DON'T LIKE POTTY TRAINING!! And I don't think potty training likes me either!

I had to start potty training Lil Gal at 20 months old. I prefer to say 1 year and 8 months old, but that's another story for an other day...

This is my story, this is my song...

My name is Vanessa Kathlene Sante. I was born in Saint-St-jean-Sur-Richelieu , Quebec. I'm a "Frenglish" girl! I'm the youngest of four Hooligans; Shangadoing, Melenage, and Looolan.
My parents taught me that Jesus loves me. ME! And I have a secured place in heaven because He is faithful and I believe in him.  WHAT A GIFT TO HAVE!

"Beloved, forgive"

Last Sunday, Pastor Bruce Steeve's from The People's Church spoke on forgiveness. And I wanted to share my thoughts because it is such an important topic.
*He allowed me to use some of his notes...

Why is it so hard to forgive someone? Especially if they didn't ask for your forgiveness in the first place!!

The Mayoclinic article says it this way:

And So It Begins!

Here I am, lying down in bed with my three month old boy sleeping on me and my almost 2 year old toddler running around eating / feeding the dog, dog food and running from one side of the house to the next filling every chair she can with toys and clipping them in.
