Kim & Aggie...and Sweet-Pea?

My little Sweet-Pea absolutely LOVES sitting down with me to watch the BBC America show "How Clean is Your House?"

She thinks Kim and Aggie are an inspiration...as much as an 'almost' 7 year old can. The show is not for the faint at heart though...the homes they clean, are homes I wouldn't even think about darkening the doorstep of. Not only are the people sloppy, they are dirty to the point of living in disease & creature infested conditions. Gross me out and shame on them!!!!!

Well, it seems lately that each time the show ends, Sweet-Pea gets up and asks 'what should we clean first?' So, today we scrubbed down the counters and cleaned up the over and toaster. We call ourselves Kim and Aggie and we play the part up by speaking with British accents. It's a riot...she's pretty good at it! No, my home is nothing like those on the TV show, it's just that we have a good time cleaning together now. It's a lot of fun mixing the concoctions they do on the show, like lemon juice and salt.

I now know what I'm going to buy Sweet-Pea for her birthday next month. Her own gloves, complete with fuzzy boa around the wrists (in pink - of course), her own cleaning bucket, and cleaning supplies. She'll LOVE it! I believe she'd even wear the white outfits Kim and Aggie wear if I can get a hold of one!

Now that my house is getting cleaner, I've got to do something about all the clutter....maybe it's time to sit down and watch Mission Organization with Sweet-Pea. She's the one who inspires me!

Hello! Sorry to not have visited in a while, but I took some time off the computer. This post is sweet. My daughter is a budding homemaker/organizer/cleaner-upper, too. I haven't seen this show, but have a feeling she'd love it. in HIM, Gin
