Shut Up And Leave Me Alone

Many women have screamed those words loud and clear when frustrated and at their wit's end. It's not PMS or some hormonal imbalance, why its the mother in law and a few added relatives coming in from out of town for the week. It wouldn't be much of a problem if she was not such a clean freak, she has been known to pull out the white glove and test the furniture for dust. What's a wife to do, just keep the house as it has been, a little unkempt, lived in well let's find a better word for it Messy!  They already don't like you so let's not give them something to talk about. First thing is to walk thru your house and make a checklist of all the things that need to be done in order of importance. If you have clutter that you don't need try just throwing it out. Take a good look at your home, many times things that we are used to seeing that don't make a difference to us may look terrible to someone who does not live in the home; such as smudges on light switches, near door knobs or on kitchen cabinets. After making your list does it seem overwhelming, it could be especially if you haven't thoroughly cleaned in a while. Why not hire someone to help you. If you are a working mom this may be something that you need to consider. Many maid services today help with cleaning, organizing  they can even run several errands for you. Just think about being at ease and calm this time the in-laws visit rather than hostile and frustrated. Call a maid service in your local area today. http://www.mymaidxpress.com/

So much to do, so little time


Wake up the kids, cook breakfast, take a shower, get dressed, get kids off to school, kiss husband goody-bye, drop the baby off at the nursery, commute to work, make the board meeting in the knick of time. Whew! somewhere in the world a woman has done all of that before most of us have gotten out of the bed.

No wonder many women are now sharing some of the same stress related illnesses that men have.

"Well, If I could afford to slow down I would", many women say.
Help is here. More and more women are now using a personal concierge service, think of it as a personal assistant to handle the list of things to do. Think of the possibilities of more time and less stress.

You Get What You Pay For?

The old saying "You get what you pay for" has been around for a long time. In most cases the phrase is true.
When looking for a maid service the natural tendency is to look for the cheapest, if that's the case a look in your local classifieds would take care of that, there are independent cleaners who are looking for extra income who may charge you as low as $55.00 to clean an entire 2,000 square foot house. Ask yourself a few questions;  Will I get a high quality cleaning? Can I leave my home while she/he is cleaning and return to find my valuables untouched? Or, what if something is accidentally broken, can she/he replace it? More than likely, the cheaper cleaners are not licensed, insured or bonded, that is one reason they are so cheap; also, if they decide to just not show up to clean your home on a scheduled day, you have no one to call to complain about their carelessness, such as with a company. Another point to consider is the fact that after a while the cleaner may begin to resent the fact that she has so much to do for such a low price and it will show in the cleaning of your home.

Save yourself the frustration of trying to find the cheapest cleaner and look for value and a company that will stand behind their commitment to you. After going thru all of the cheaper cleaners, you will wonder why you didn't call a competent company to begin with.    http://mymaidxpress.com/

Paying for maid service

Many people are of the opinion that paying for maid service is a luxury. Not true at all. Today we have so much going on that having a maid service take care of the cleaniness of the home is just a bout a necessity. Usually both the husband and wife work, if you are single you work, if you have a roommate they work. So where is the free time? When the weekend rolls around who want to think about mopping, dusting, washing, all of the mundane household task. The money that you spend hiring a maid service will be worth every penny when you can go out and enjoy a beautiful Saturday day with friends and family then come home to a clean, fresh smelling and organized home.
