Tackle-It Tuesday

 

I am almost ashamed to post this Tackle.  I'm sure you'll wonder just what sort of ship I'm running down/over here in Texas. 

The last time I cleaned our half bath was THREE WEEKS AGO!  Between homeschooling, cooking, laundry, other cleaning and a baby boy that is now very mobile, this poor bathroom has received no attention from me.  I didn't even step in to give the sink a good swish during my three week slack.  I've had good intentions, but just never made it in.  But today was SuperBowl Monday at our house (we weren't able to be home for it yesterday, so we TIVO'ed it, my husband took the day off, we ordered some pizza and watched it today).  With SuperBowl Monday and the presence of my husband, I was able to squeeze in a couple of neglected chores with all the required SuperBowl festivities.  Here's a picture of my husband and the kids playing a rousing game of football in what we call "the schoolroom."  We don't actually do school in there, but it's where our books and school things are kept.  ;-)

It's the SpideyTeam against the Cowboys.

Anyway.....here is a picture of the bathroom before.  I know it doesn't look THAT bad, but I wanted to spare you the details.  I do have a six-year-old and an 11-year-old boy that use this bathroom very regularly and they are not as tidy as I would wish.

Here is my commercial pose for the cleaner that we use.  I LOVE this stuff!  It is called Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Aromatherapeutic Household Cleaners.  I found it at our local whole foods store.  Cleaning the bathroom with this stuff is so enjoyable because it smells so good!  It truly is Aromatherapeutic.  I always buy the lavender-scented cleaner.  So worth it!

Finally, here is the clean bathroom, and I got every inch of it!  Even the dust from the tops of the candles and moulding.  Yuck!
