I decided to start a new blog. About cleaning. If you know me/have met me/have ever heard my name mentioned, it’s okay to laugh at that. Me? Start a blog on cleaning and organization? It’s like the equivalent of my grandmother writing a blog on freestyle rapping. Neither is our “area of expertise”, if you will (although I can spit out a mean rhyme. I’m just saying). So, why start a blog on cleaning/organization/housekeeping?
Here’s the deal. I’m a Georgia girl, born and raised right here in the Dirty South. Represent, y’all. And, up until this point in my life, I have taken it as a personal challenge to put the dirt in Dirty South.
Okay, I wasn’t gross or anything – just a bit of a slob. I had no sense of organization, hated cleaning and didn’t do it often (if at all), and basically just left things strewn about in giant piles of random assortments (fun, right?). Basically, I always made my mom, the biggest neatnik/organizational freak I know, cringe. Always.
…until now. I got married in June of 2013 (holla!) to my super-hot husband, Andrew, and we are renting a house. I’m constantly trying to impress him with my incredible housekeeping skills (yeah, go ahead and scoff. It’s okay.) and my amazing organization of all of our crap.
I love me some Pinterest. Seriously. And I’m addicted to trying out the tips and tricks that I find there. This is basically me trying out different cleaning/organization/housekeeping ideas and reporting them back to you. The good, the bad, and the ugly – I’m going balls to the walls here. Then you can decide what you want to try… or you can just enjoy a good laugh at my expense.
Have any ideas for me to try? Want to send some awesome love or harsh criticism my way? (Disclaimer: If you send me harsh criticism, I will respond only with a picture of me sticking my tongue out at you).

Be watching for a post this week on my favorite recipe for laundry detergent! Yeah, that’s right… I’m pulling out the big guns. Brace yourselves.
