Our Home & House

Posted on Jan 23, 2009 under General Info, Home & Decor, Musing, The Man | No Comment

A lot of people go into a marriage with a dreamy outlook and think that it is a fairy tale come true.  Truth be told, someone should tell them that it’s not a bed of roses after the wedding.  The wedding is only the beginning and I wish I could tell some of the younger brides about the whole house and home issues that everyone comes to me about after a couple of months together.

For someone like myself who also has a kid and a busy business to run with the spouse, Healthy Home Cleaning would definitely be something I could use.   Why? I’m pretty paranoid about using chemicals when my kid is around, therefore we only clean when she is sleeping. We’ve tried hiring part time cleaning ladies but if you could see the way they cleaned our house/home, you wouldn’t dare eat anything off your kitchen counter when they’re done.

When you hire someone to clean for you you want them to come prepared with everything so you don’t have to go and buy special stuff yourself. At Healthy Home Cleaning, they are professionals and they also use all environmentally friendly stuff, no chlorine nor any toxic cleaning materials.  Satisfaction is guaranteed and what I like best about them is that they also provide carpet cleaning and driveway cleaning, and you never have to worry about worker’s compensation.  Whether you want a one time service or a weekly service, you can get a no obligation quote.

New Home For The Newly-Weds

Most newly-weds also have a new home but like anyone who is getting married, the planning of the wedding is already a huge deal.  If one is not careful about the planning, the wedding may not happen, nor the new home.  Therefore we decided that the getting the new home ready is a job for the man and the wedding planning and putting it together would be mostly myself and my girlfriends.

I’m also sure all of you know how paranoid I get when I am home alone or when we are away from the home for at least 12 hrs a day because of work.  We also have a young child at home whom we leave with our babysitter a few nights a week, therefore the man suggested a fingerprint lock that way we don’t have to give the babysitter or the outlaws a set of keys.  Nor do we have to worry about them losing it and someone else picking it up and using it to break into our home.

Besides safety reasons, with such horrid weather during winter the locks are always frozen where the keyhole is, so with this fingerprint lock, you never have to worry about de-icing the keyhole, nor do one have to stand in the cold trying to open the lock.  The fingerpint lock has other features that are useful for those who have a cleaning maid during certain days or times of the week to allow them temporary access on your specific time, and one never needs to worry about losing their keys ever again.  If you are thinking that these locks must be too expensive and not within your budget, well you are wrong because they start as low as $179 with free shipping.  Don’t matter if you have a new home or an old one, check it out.
