Around here, Friday is the day to "fluff the nest", which is just a much cuter way of saying "clean the house". Am I right? So my Friday posts are all about tidying up and getting the house fresh and in order for the weekend. Some weeks my nest-fluffing comes more easily than others. I need motivation each Friday. Good Friday morning! I'm just popping in quickly this morning to share one of my biggest motivators for cleaning. THE SMELL OF CLEAN! I am extremely motivated by my sense of smell!
