Hello and happy Monday! The much needed rain has passed in
my area for now so I enjoyed looking out my front windows at all the
pretty green. There is something so perfect about spring green after a rain.
While enjoying my view, I decided that it was the perfect time to tackle inside windows, we’ll tackle
outside soon.
I’ve received
valuable feedback from friends online, and surprisingly offline regarding my chore prompts. You prefer my quick call to action prompts
versus a how-to write up, so I’ll stick with that moving forward. Thanks again
for the emails and chats friends!

I would be an unhappy person if my world didn’t have
windows! I enjoy my views from almost every window in our home. I share this
love of our views with my cats and my kids. While we are bird watching, the
cats are leaving little wet nose prints and the kids- well, they leave a little
more. Sometimes sticky finger prints, often times their nose prints too!
Pick an over-cast day to wash your inside windows. You’ll
see streaks easier that way. Sometimes I use paper towels and a window cleaner
to spot clean my inside windows, making sure the room is cat and kid free
before starting.
For full window cleaning- where I’m cleaning the glass and
the window casing and seals, I prefer to use micro-fiber cleaning clothes and window
cleaner.
I know some of you prefer to
use DIY cleaners made with vinegar and I’ve tried some different recipes. Unfortunately, my windows look cloudy afterwards, so I stick with a low odor window cleaner
and I ventilate the room.
That’s it! We are slowly working our way to a clean home.
Enjoy your view this week!
Please share in comments: do you have a favorite look-out window in your
home? If so, what room is it in?

Hi Robin,
You are welcome! lol I know how much everybody loves this chore!
Lol me too I always to forgot to clwan windows but thanks for you this is a great tips and reminder too as well.
I like using micro fiber cloths, too. Moms used old newspaper while I was growing up.
I haven't done my windows for a little while now too, dang - I should! My favorite windows are the large ones off my kitchen that face the backyard - it's nice to sit there and watch the kids play out back.
My favorite view is the glass doors beyond the kitchen. I strategically have lots of plants and flowers there. It brings me a smile to look at.
Hi Our family,
You're welcome! I'm happy to share reminders and prompts that help us remember these extra chores.
Hi Elizabeth,
I remember watching my neighbor lady use piles of newspaper to clean her windows each spring too!
Hi Heather,
Your view sounds perfect! I wish we had larger windows on the back of our house.
Hi BellaVida,
We have been thinking of renovating our den to add sliding glass doors for more light and better view from inside. I bet your flowers and plants bring you lots of joy!
This is really helpful! The door to the backyard patio tends to get dirty easily.

wow, good for you! I have not done any cleaning lately...lol! I like to use Windex for cleaning windows.
These are some really great tips. This is such a great reminder.
