Once in a while, I splurge and hire a cleaning lady.
The mental uplift of a sparking clean kitchen and bathroom is just as satisfying as when I get my eyebrows waxed. It's a huge pick-me-up.
Since having someone clean your home is a real frivolous luxury, I think, I only do it about once a year -- and only if I have a good coupon and good reason to use the service.
I blogged already about the pesky shower mold I couldn't get up, and I realize that--being 9 months pregnant--I should probably avoid harsh chemicals and awkward bending. So I figured it was time to hire someone again! (The last time I did it was just before the wedding.)
She did an amazing job in both rooms, but--just like me--she struggled with the shower mold. It has a stubborn mind of its own, and much of it stayed put. She apologized, explaining that if I hire her to come back regularly, it should gradually begin to lift.
Anyway, cheers to a sparkling clean kitchen and bathroom! This mamma is happy! :)
