Too many messes in my kitchen

I can't stand cleaning my kitchen anymore! It seems like everyday I have an hours worth of rinsing dishes, loading dishes, unloading dishes, cleaning counter tops, etc. Now that I've moved on from first trimester sickness woes, I'm cooking more which means I'm cleaning more. The whole month of February we ate microwavable dinners via Marie Calender or we went out or got take out. Now, I want to be more healthy and cook more meals at home. I love cooking...just the cleaning up part makes me sad. I need to be very grateful for what I have right now, though. Before in our tiny little apartment we didn't have a dishwasher or a garbage disposal. Just one sink and a trashcan to clean up our kitchen. I just need to stop complaining. I'm only 22, have 0 kids, and a thousand futures worth of dirty dishes to clean. Sometimes it just makes me so sad and discouraged. That's why right now I'm not cleaning but blogging.

Speaking of cleaning, I have a product to endorse. Five years ago I used a Mr. Clean magic eraser to clean some things up and it didn't work at all. It was just a very soft sponge. So, a few days ago my friend Amber suggested I use the new Mr. Clean bath scrubber to make my tub white again. I wasn't too keen on Mr. Clean since our last encounter five years ago but I picked up a package of scrubbers, along with Lime Away just in case they didn't work. Today, I used Lime Away first to see if it could get rid of the hard water stains, which it kind of did. My tub wasn't exactly sparkling like I anticipated so I grabbed Mr. Clean and started scrubbing him away on my stains. And I couldn't believe it! It actually worked! I actually have a white tub like a brand new white tub. So, if you're out there battling soap scum and hard water stains by yourself, just got pick up Mr. Clean to help you out! I hope it works for you as well as it did for me!

Apparently, your husband didn't stand up in front of 100 people and vow to do the dishes if you cooked. Hahahahahaha. I have the best hubby eva!
