Mmmmmm....

Can you smell it, Mrs. B? :>)

I cleaned the fan blades with Murphy's Oil Soap this morning. I also cleaned the baseboards, floor and a few other odds and ends with it. I cleaned the other parts of the blades and the glass globes with orange 409. It smells sooooo good in our bedroom now. Today is my bedroom detailing day so I removed, washed, dried and then put back the bedsheets and made the bed. I swapped out the heavy comforter for the lighter blanket. That may be a bit soon as I am actually wearing a turtleneck today but I did it in good faith. I flipped the mattress. I vacuumed and cleaned the blinds. I vacuumed the floor...all the while trying to protect my ankles from little Miss Reagan who thinks that my cleaning the bedroom is the funnest thing of all!

I still have plenty to do in there but I am done detailing that room for today. I think I'll go try another little pincushion.

I also just love the smell of Murphy's Oil Soap...I just mopped with it this morning!

yum! I plan to mop my dining room, front room and hallway with it tomorrow...or probably Thursday. Tomorrow is date day and I rarely get much done. lol

I have never smelt Murphy's Oil Soap. But I do love those natural cleaning formulas. I love cleaning my bedroom furniture with this beeswax cream stuff I've got.

D'you know I have really struggled with blogger sites today I must have tried to load yours and a few others many times. Anyway, got there in the end! :oD~yipee!

Mrs. Blythe,

I couldn't get onto any sites or they were very slow, this morning too! I was wondering if I was the only one! It figures, I'm trying to spend less time on the computer and blogger ends up causing me to spend more time! (o;

Oh and Mrs. Blythe, you simply MUST smell Murphy's Oil soap! I love it so MUCH that I did an entire post about it and declared I loved the smell so much that I'd wear it as perfume if they bottled it!....much to the amusement of my fellow blog-friends! (o;

Your fan looks GREAT Lisa! And YES I CAN smell the Murphy's....and it's so nice to be thought of! {{{Hugs for Lisa!}}}

Thanks for explaining to me about the coffee in the jar! LOL I went back and reread your post and maybe I read it too fast because you explained it perfectly. Oh well, I guess my mind is starting to go! (o:

Mrs. Blythe, I just read something the other day about relaxing at the end of the day and smelling the wax from the day's cleaning. Perhaps that's what they meant. :) Murphy's always reminds me of my best friend from my teen years. She was married 5 days when her dear sweetheart and new husband (and my friend) was killed. Some time later she moved into a new/old home and we washed the walls down with Murphys. It reminds me of being 19 and dreaming of a home of my own, supporting a friend and mourning another.

I think Blogger was updating or something this morning. I couldn't get on to any blogger sites either.

Mrs. B. :)You just tickle me! {{{{Hugs right back}}}}}

Lisa, we turned the heat back on! I have been so cold the last few days. All this about Murphy's and I think I will have to try it.

Lisa, I use Murphy's on my cabinets when they need a little sprucing up...works great!

I'm amazed at how much you got done! Your bedroom must be sparkling! I worked outside ALL DAY...and believe me, as chilly as it was when I went out, it started to warm up with mulching and shoveling!!

Lisa said...

Cindi, I was tempted to turn the heat back on. I got out the little electric one to take the chill off. I've been cold, too. brrrrr

Deb, so it's cold up there, too, huh? I bet it did warm up with working. I didn't try that. lol I thought it was raining but I guess it was just dreary. I saw someone mowing late this afternoon. I didn't get to all areas of my room but I am enjoying those I did get to. :)

"Mrs. Blythe, I just read something the other day about relaxing at the end of the day and smelling the wax from the day's cleaning."

LOL Lisa, could you have read it on my blog? I posted a quote on my post from Sunday that said that exact thing?

Oh wow, I bet the Murphy's must be a precious smell for you after that kind of experience with your friend.....

Lisa said...

Mrs. B. Hmmmm....I bet that's just where I read it. LOL

Lisa and Mrs B. Ok I am convinced that life is not worth living without Murphy's Oil Soap! :) So, I shall try to find where I can get some here in wee England.

It's funny how fragrances and smells can evoke memories sometimes from years ago. Blessings to you both :o)x

LOL Mrs. Blythe!
