PERKS OF BUDGETING! (it’s not all bad)

Hello and good morning! How was our week last week? Did you get a chance to catch last weeks blog! I will leave it linked down below! I have not shared a lot about why I budget! The story behind it! The struggle and downs of it! Last weeks was a little story time of…

I have not shared a lot about why I budget! The story behind it! The struggle and downs of it! Last weeks was a little story time of why I started to budget when I had!

This weeks I wanted to bring out some brightness to budgeting! There is many reasons why budgeting is often thought of as a long draining task! There is always the bright outline to it but, I find that it is ofter repeated of those top benefits! There is so much good things that come out of a good budget and many will have you always have a type of budget!

The reason, the drive behind ones reason for budgeting will change! With that the outcome will change too!

Budgeting is a lot like our routines! It will not always look the same for everyone!

Yes, the outline, the basics will be there and usually close to the same for almost everyone! The deep part of it all will be different because it is your budgeting!

THE BRIGHT SIDE

When I had started thinking of budgeting it was not a positive inspiration! I knew it would pay off…… hopefully….. one day…. right?

I feel this is how many people start for feelings when they think of saving money! This is because you have made a life style that you like, or that maybe you striving for! If you live out side of your budgeting then it will add up, but we usually don’t notice this until we are in too deep!

This doesn’t have to be the case!

You don’t need to be in deep to start saving money, and it does not have to be a horrible time consuming no fun time!

The bright side to budgeting is that its your budget! Its your goals and your savings!

The bright side is you can be in control of your money and not have your money control your life! It won’t be forever however, I can tell you that when you actually start and you start seeing results and start having money again it can get to me fun almost addictive to see how much you can save!

It may turn into something that you will never stop budgeting or trying to save money, setting different money goals! Just like any goal when you get the hang of it it’s worth it all in the end!

When it comes to setting your budget and goals you can set your own speed! Reach the finish line when you wanted to!

When I was pulling us out of a flipping butt load of debt I did it as fast as I could! This was HARD! Everyone was on a spending limit on really everything!

You want to know something tho! When I had a talk with my family about the money changes that were goin to be happening everyone was ok with it! Yes, there was some days where it was not much fun, it was hard and sad! But, I explained what we were doing and why!

THE OUTCOME CAN BE AN AMAZING FEELING!

After a couple years! YES a couple years my husband said that he wasn’t sure how well it was working and maybe we should drop the “budget” and so you know what happened! I sat down with him and we re-looked at our debt! We checked in with ourselves if you will and you know what happened next? We kept going because looking at the debt that we had started with we were almost done already!

YES! You read that right we were almost out of our debt already! Now years sounds like a long time however remember we were in debt for THOUSANDS of dollars!

I remember opening our mail and looking at the statements and having such a overwhelming feeling of accomplishment! Like I said money is an addictive thing! I have never heard of someone who does not like money or who does not feel like they want more money!

The reality is the world revolves around money! This is a crappy aspect about being an adult but it is true!

When you find your budget and get comfy in it you will soon see just how much you may of been spending on well absolutely nothing!

These are things that I will be talking about throughout this money but, yes the reality is that probably half if not more of what you were spending your money on is nothing!

I hope you are getting excited about saving money this month!

I sure am!

If you are looking to save some money, maybe try to track your spending maybe, you are wanting to save for something new and exciting! I am here to say:

YES YOU CAN! YES YOU CAN DO IT!

Lets get our money and budget under control!

I would love to have you come along with these money saving blogs this month! Make sure you follow the blog for LOTS of money saving tips and tricks!

I also have some other daily posts and tips over on facebook and instagram!

classyclassicsbykandisLeave a comment

I have always being a person that has come to really love and respect my two main routes this is my morning routine and my evening routine.

Hi I am Kandis creator of classic classics by Kandis. I am a stay-at-home mom of 4 kiddos, married to my hubby for 13 years and I love coffee, my planner and organizing!

This last week sure had some crazy not all super fun twists and events that had and has been putting through a couple tests!

The whole week was a crazy, blurred, emotionally testing one! I can say really the only thing that was holding the house together was strong a** coffee and strong routines!

I started using routines years ago, my routines are always getting revamped and switched however, over the years I have come to realize some staple tasks at certain times of the really make all the different!

With October coming up and life not throwing lemons my way but making me play dodge ball instead! lol I wanted to retouch on my routines and help make them seem less nagging and more helpful!

When life gives you lemons grab some gin and make a drink!

I hope you will comealong as I give my routines some love and understanding!

SUMMER ROUTINE!

classyclassicsbykandisLeave a comment

Hello, good morning!

Welcome back to another blog with me! Hi I’m Kandis with Classy Classics By Kandis!

I am a stay-at-home mom with 4 kids 2 are classed as big kids and 2 are classed as little kids! All in the aged of 12 down to 2 years year old!

Our summer routine tends to look a little different time to time however, usually works out pretty close to the same!

The kicker with the summer vacations is my big kids go to their grandparents for a bit to the summer holidays, and so we tend to do more routine for just me and the littles!

The littles dont have much chores I have found that with my last two kids I’m not near as stricked on the littles with helping as I was when the older ones were!

So, I thought I would share our summer routine with how I have it set up for the day!

This will be more of a quick outline and if you would like more of a details routine give me a thumbs up and leave a comment and I would love to do one more detailed routine!

Like I was saying this one is going to be more for my outline through the day and what I tried to have outlined and needing to be done!

My day tends to start early lately as my youngest still feels he needs to be up at 6:30 am. During this time I try to enjoy some coffee depending on how whinny he wakes up, I came to try to sit down and just relax in the morning playing part of my games and checking Facebook, Snapchat, working on my blog stuff like that!

I will then sit down and work on my planner figure out what I’m trying to do for cooking, cleaning, possibly baking and other just day-to-day tasks.

Not all of my kids get up at the same time like by no means so breakfast usually consist of whoever’s up for the most part what they would like. I don’t always do big breakfast but, pre prepped breakfast can be really convenient.

After some lovely coffee time I will then get going on our morning. Usually, around 7:30 I will try to get dressed, wash up I use monat and my skin, I love it I have done a routine on my skin care that I will leave linked, I will also leave my monat shopping link for you to check out!

mymonat.com/beyondhair

A GOOD DAY STARTS WITH A GOOD MORNING ROUTINE!

I started using monat over a year ago and I do not plan on going back to normal shampoo conditioner or skincare it is really wonderful products and it’s changed my days.

After all of that I will usually try to start organizing my day I get going on my morning chores. I tend to try to do more of my tasks in the morning so, that we can try to get outside before lunch and after naps without having a complete disaster of a house.

During nap time, I will aim to try to do either work in the yard, then some cleaning that didn’t get done and it just may be easier without the toddlers! There are some days where I might just need to lay down and take a nap, I don’t always do the best with that though and I tend to sometimes feel bad about it even when I’m not supposed to.

Then, after nap we will usually get up have snack and head outside or find some toys depending on what the weather is like.

I will start thinking about supper if not start prepping it, tidy up outside or just fill in those couple hour gap with sometimes. Something usually needs to be done LOL. Seems like a mother’s job is never done does it.

After supper I will clean up the kitchen get the dishwasher going any dishes that needed to be hand washed done just the kitchen whites and tidied up.

I try to sweep at night but that doesn’t always happen depending on how everything is shaping up that night.

Around 7:30 or so is the toddler’s bath or shower time we will then get on pyjamas and finish tidying up the toys and maybe watch a little bit of a movie before you get me ready for bed.

Around 8:15 8:30 is bedtime snack followed by teeth, find their bottles get them filled up and ready for bed. I try to have the littles in bed right around 9 my four-year-old will tend to just play in his room well in his bed until he falls asleep. The youngest you just go to bed because it he’s going to get up at 6:30 in the morning then he can just go to bed LOL.

Then from 9 to 10 I will usually do another task that can get done whether it be some sort of a cleaning task or back into my garden to get a little more done. Then I will come in wash up, get on pyjamas and watch my Netflix until I either put myself to sleep or just passed out sitting up in bed this does happen more than what I would plan.

That is my summer routine in a nut shell, it keeps me busy I am trying to learn how to take a step back sit down maybe I smell a flower now and then and not just weed them continuously but, you do what you got to do for the stuff that you want I guess right.

I hope you enjoyed this blog or my summer routine do you have a summer routine?

Doesn’t change every day?

I have kind of kept my morning afternoon and evening routines to a degree as my cleaning routines I have become a very big routine and so they just kind of stayed for the most part in place.

I hope you have a wonderful summer oh, I hope you make wonderful family memories oh, and I hope to see you when mask supposably left here in Saskatchewan. If you want some more fun little more personal details of what I am doing in my days make sure you head over to one of my other social media pages and either on Facebook or on Instagram.

I do tend to go on Facebook more right now than I do Instagram I turn to friend in and out of Instagram.

I will of course though we’ve both links down below, head over to either one of them or both don’t forget to check out my monat page if you have any questions about any products do not hesitate to ask away. I love them and I know you will fall in love.

Until next week have a great day, a wonderful weekend and a productive week.

Bye for now.

MY GARDEN SO FAR! ♥

classyclassicsbykandis2 Comments

Hi good morning, welcome to another blog with me! I’m Kandis with Classy Classics By Kandis! I am a stay-at-home mom a for kids ages 12, 10, 4, and 2 years old!

I definitely am on my feet and on my toes all the time. With so many kids especially with so many boys three of them are boys, the groceries that goes with this house is unbelievable!

This is the reason why I need my garden, it’s not even want anymore and so need because of how many mouths there are lol.

I am a Frugal Living, budget loving, planner addicted stay home mom lol!

I have always loved growing stuff in a garden I have done a garden for about 10 years now, this is my second year for a garden in the spot oh, and I tell you I am still learning all sorts of stuff!

I thought as my garden is coming along now, all planted and ready to make me food, I would take you through my garden steps!

The kicker with my garden is anything that is grown in a garden can usually be grown also in a container!

What ever your garden space is or your time frame for planting you can also grow something but, beware gardening can be addictive! 😉

I love my flowers and trees as much as my garden! It is like a snow ball effect lol!

With the family growing the size of my garden definitely has too! With all the daily tasks already the kicker with adding is just that, adding more tasks to that already growing list! Make sure you don’t bite more then you can chew!

There is definitely a couple things I have learned in how to make the garden life easier to enjoy!

My garden got extended this year however, this is the size it will be now! So, couple years of hard work and it should get easier and easier! If you have a spot that has been there for years already then it will be easier already then starting one from scratch!

The first thing that I start with is to get right ground worked out and rotor tell, that’s your I actually made sure to get it spray with round up because it was extended again and it is a new garden that I am trying to to work with.

The next thing I did was I had went in to the garden and literally counted how many my feet the garden was oh, I say my feet because I have smaller feet so it’s not going to be like a full foot or something right LOL.

Then I get going on my outline oh, I had already done a rough outline to know what I needed to fit into the garden and tell you how to maybe make my sections. I’ll tell you more about my sections when we get to it.

So then the next thing that I have to do is I design my garden all of this can be done on a piece of paper or in a gardening book if you have one depending on how detailed you are and how many years you have been gardening. I said I have a gardening book because they say every five years to rotate your garden oh, they also say to watch what you plant in what soil and by what oh, so I find it easier to know where and what went where in case something goes wrong or I’m just trying something or I need to swap my rows around.

With the garden this year again I have it in 3 sections if you will! I have a section that contains short these are rows that are going across my garden as some things like to grow in shorter rows, it says its better for the growing! This is like radishes and carrots!

Then I have a section that I call my long grows oh, this is because they are just that long rows! These are used what’s my peas, beans and cucumbers.

Then on my third section I call my patch, this is because it typically will have my pumpkins, squash, zucchini, and any melons that I can find or start. There’s one by using a patch because they are super viney plants and they tend to spread across a large section oh, they will also choke out other plants smaller plants if you didn’t know LOL.

With this being the biggest garden that I have ever had and bigger than what I ever dreamed I would have there is a couple things that I am trying to figure out to make it just a little easier to keep up with it all.

With this I have a rototiller and I am hoping that my rows are big enough to make it through at least once, and then I just have to weed around my plants or rows.

Another thing that I am going to try this year some homemade Roundup and that way I won’t be as potent on my plants but I do know that it does work on me it’s because I have used it for years! So with this I’m going to see if I can use some homemade Roundup just do not like a spray bottle, for my weeds in between the rows and my flower bed! I will give you an update on how it goes for me lol when the time comes!

For the homemade Roundup you would need:

  • vinegar
  • table salt
  • blue original Dawn dish soap

With June all of a sudden half gone and our weather still pretty crazy hitting + 5 the at night it’s still pretty chilly at night for June and, my watermelon, cantaloupe and homeydews! So, my melons haven’t gone out yet it is actually still too cold at night for them and I am not going down to my garden to cover them at night because that is too cold!

There ya have it! My garden update so far! It is not perfect but it sure didn’t help the weeding that I got the seeds planted and then we have had a week of on and off thunderstorms lol! I will not complain about that I love storms and we sure needed the rain! However, remember when your plants are doing good the weeds are doing great!

I will do another garden update when everything is up more and rocking and rolling!

Did you put a garden in?

What do you grow?

Got some garden tips and tricks? Leave them in the comments or over on another page!

I will leave the links for my other social media pages, let’s connect!

I try to be on more with daily work 💪, what we are tackling that day! Chores of the day, supper ideas and just day to day mom stuff!

Hope to see you over there!

Until next week have a great day, a wonderful weekend and a productive week!

Bye for now!!

GO TO SWEET & SOUR SAUCE!!!

classyclassicsbykandisLeave a comment

Hello and good morning welcome to Classy Classics By Kandis!

It always seems like this time of the year suppers can be hard to figure out again! Who wants to be in the kitchen prepping and cooking when you need to be outside weeding and playing in water! Ok,well it’s not water season yet but it’s coming!

This is the time of year that I really like to either pre-plan summer suppers and/or get my freezer ready with some freezer meals.

There’s nothing better than being able to just pull something out that morning that night day before or whatever the prep time is, it’s nice to know that I have backup meals for when I get lazy!

One of my favorite things to do is the sweet and sour sauce, I use it on all sorts of stuff and it doesn’t take up much room in my freezer.

The sweet and sour sauce is super easy to make and I love making it with meatballs. Make some rice and you have a whole meal!

I tend to do all whole lot of Meatballs pre-cook them you can put them all into one bag and just pull out however many meatballs that you need!


With this recipe it calls for:

The meatballs are:

  • Onion diced
  • Warcheshire sauce
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 2 cups rolled oats or bread crumbs
  • An egg
  • 1/2 cup milk

Combine all ingredients and roll into balls line in bake dish cook 400° for 35 minutes or until done!

The sauce you will need:

  • 2 cups packed brown sugar 
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup water 
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar 
  • 2 tablespoons soya sauce 
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup 
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger 
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.

Mix together in a sauce pan and stir, bring to a boil until thickened. Add meatballs or pour over! It is that simple and yes that yummy.

A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY!

classyclassicsbykandisLeave a comment

Hi and good morning! Happy Monday! I can’t believe how fast the week went by! Maybe it’s the time of year, maybe it’s the busy spring vibes! Whatever it is I’m hoping it slows down during the summer months!

With being a full time mom of 4 kids, a wife and home maker, days can tend to blur together, some days seem to last FOREVER!

I am trying to enjoy what life is throwing my way and enjoy the stage that’s I am in!

The stage where there is toys everywhere, followed with crumbs, clothes and something sticky!

I have been finding myself with blocking more and more time out for walks around the yard, kicking the ball and of coarse yard clean up! Always something to clean lol!

Something that I have recently started doing is blocking out more but shorter “tidy times”! As I’ve been learning more on how long certain chores take it makes it easier to set certain chores to certain times!

Let me explain what I mean! If I have a 20 minute window to do something before something else is set up then I will try to do either 4…5 minute tasks or I will do a bigger 20-30 minute task!

This has made it a little easier for me to break up whatever is zone that I am working in for that week into smaller bits throughout the week instead of trying to do more than what I need to do in the zone!

I can sometimes I actually get more done in a week in a certain area if I break it into smaller bits throughout the whole week! Instead of working for say an hour each day in the zone, where are some tasks that I’m trying to do that day won’t take an hour and I could actually be spending the rest of that time doing something else instead of being in that zone!

I have a couple blogs about zone cleaning I will leave linked down below! I love Zone cleaning I have done it for years now and it’s just a really nice way to break up your house and break up your chores to stay on top of everything just a little easier!

When I happen to have a chore or a zone that I cannot do with the littles or as easy, I will then try to do my other quicker tasks and easier tasks while they are up, then I take nap time for a bigger chores!

This is another reason why learning time frames for tasks was a little important for me!

With doing it this way, it really made me see how quick I could get some of the stuff actually done! To try to learn to break it up into bits and pieces this is when I can go from doing a quick 10-15 minute clean too quick 30 minute house clean!

When I mean with this is that say I am vacuuming the upstairs stairs, and everything is going okay kids are still playing good. I can then maybe vacuum Mason’s room that’s another five minutes if it’s picked up already oh, maybe I’ll try to vacuum my room that is one of the quickest rooms to vacuum it doesn’t have carpet but I like getting into whatever corners I can. Maybe everything keeps going good and then I can just keep on going well all of a sudden just like that all of the vacuuming is done in less time then telling myself to tackle “the whole house”.

This is were my routines also come in nice! I find this helps me not worrying about doubling the chore either!

Take the evening routine! I find this one probably the most important one too keep!

I find myself not as ancy about chores that I know will be part of the routine! If I need to clean the kitchen, I will take more time tackling other deeper cleaning tasks instead of do basic chores that I know will happen anyways later! Just a different way to help with times and chores!

There is so many things happening with summer coming but, with getting little bit done here and there is a good way for this house to learn to break up the day, and chores to make room for outside life!

I have routine blogs that I will link! I change my routines lots in the year! Depending on the time of year depends on the routine! For the most part they keep the same idea some chores change but the timeline is what can really change of course!

I am learning it doesn’t matter what time of the day the floors get done, or when the sinks get shined! These tasks will be there until I find that 5 minutes to get them in, or wait till the routine time!

“Little by little, task by task, it will a get done”

I hope this helps in finding time for those tasks!

Waiting for supper? Fold some laundry, clean out that junk drawer while your there! A little goes along way!

I will link my Instagram and Facebook! There is always fun there, with daily day to day mom life!

Until next week

Have a great day, a wonderful weekend and a productive week!

Bye for now!

FINDING BALANCE!

classyclassicsbykandis3 Comments

Good morning happy Monday! Welcome to another week!

How is your week last week?

Have we been getting through spring cleaning and getting ready to bust outside, we had a fire ban on here in Saskatchewan and then it snowed overnight!

I’m not sure if spring is here yet! Well calendar wise yes, weather sometimes lol!

The last couple weeks I’ve been finding myself a little disappointed in myself!

I am a stay-at-home mom of 4 kids, 2 that go to school and 2 that still stay at home. I have been married for 15 years!

I have been struggling the last couple weeks to find balance in all of my stuff.

Let me explain this to you, it’s does not have to do with how my house chores and/or role that I play in this house, I have been trying to focus on getting back onto my meal planning and fitness!

Oh, have you noticed that prices of groceries are going up? I have noticed that it’s hard to get everything that you need, and be able to afford it the same time.

This is one thing that I’ve been trying to get better with again is being a much more frugal home-based mom. I had really thrived with this before for my third pregnancy and some into my fourth pregnancy!

After the move that we did, things got a little hard and I tended to pull from a box a lot more, this is a hard habit to get back into this planning and not pull from that box or just make macaroni!

Another thing that I feel that I am lacking in is health of myself! I struggled with my weight for many years this is not something that has been traumatizing to me but I am very proud that I had never been in as good shape as I am now and I’ve had four kids and being out of school for over 10 years, I had found a lot of excitement of working out and eating better when my second child was younger!

And, now I’m sitting here I can hardly get myself to drink water, I had done some workouts the other month, trying to get into it again and the only time that I kind of have motivation and time to be able to do it at night!

This is fine except for summer is coming and it’s really hard to do that when you have little kids and an entire family with summer coming!

So I’ve been kind of hard on myself not knowing how to achieve my stuff blah blah blah.

I then decided,you know what my third kid is going to start play school soon my last kid still takes naps, and so I feel then I should not be trying to push myself to the point where I feel so bad that I can’t do it not because I’m just too lazy but I am busy right up till like 9:30 at night.

So instead of being angry with myself I’m trying to take a different spin on it.

I thought I would focus little more on basic health!

With this set of trying to force myself to workout until the time is right I really that sounds like an excuse but…

I thought I would try to focus on my water intake and simply just work on some stretching, and to try to really focus on what I am eating!

To eat healthy is something that I’m trying to work on. I am a fairly active mom obviously chasing 4 kids. However remember the kicker is that abs are actually made in the kitchen!

It is really hard for me to try to start something and not go full in, I’m trying to focus on the little things to make my way to the big things!

It’s just the time of the season for the kids and myself and I have to keep in mind with in a couple years it’s all going to be different again! They will not always be here and my babies!

With new goals for a bit, as summer is rolling in, I am excited about trying to take a step back on everything, fold a couple towels to put down for now and take it slower!

What are some clean eating foods you like?

I think it’s fun trying new easy foods, to get the ball rolling!

Hope you liked the blog! Want some healthy motivation?

Make sure to follow my social media pages I will have links below!

Until next week

Have a great day, a wonderful weekend and a productive week!

FINDING MOTIVATION!

classyclassicsbykandisLeave a comment

Hi good morning!

Happy Monday! How was your week last week?

It has been busy in the household, getting spring cleaning done I’m trying to get my seeds as big and strong as I can for the garden, it can be really hard not to burn out before I even get out of bed!

Do you ever have the problems with just not having motivation?

I find if I don’t do certain things in the day I definitely lose motivation quicker than other days!

I thought I would share some ways that I try to find some extra motivation on days that I don’t want motivation!

There are definitely a couple tips and tricks that I have found through the years that has helped me friend that motivation and get up off your butt and get something done.

One of the first things that I find is a nice motivation enhancer is getting up, making my bed, getting dressed and washed up!

This just helps me wake up and be able to enjoy my coffee a little more!

When I have lack of motivation and fine just doing some of my basic housework tends to wake me up a little more to try to get some bigger tasks done.

No matter what our daily tasks that need to be done, these are all put into routines of mine and are almost not even chores anymore.

Looking for extra motivation I will clear the counters, clean up the sink, sweep the floor don’t forget to wipe that table.

These are all little things that I find make a big difference and how the house looks, and so then when I am lacking energy to do a bigger task to see the end result of just these little daily tasks and how much it makes a difference definitely it will give me extra motivation to do a bigger task that I don’t want to do! Knowing that it’s going to just be done then and it’s going to be so satisfying when it is done!

I needed to realize that I didn’t need to be on my hands and knees or polishing everything all the time, and this is where I have found some of my quick clean tools to be a lifesaver!

With this I love my environment cloths from norex all it takes is water and it disinfects the surface! With a little swish swoop and is all clean!

I will run my Robo around the house to pick up some crumbs while I am sweeping some corner, and then I still have a task being done without feeling bad about spending extra time on a bigger task!

I love breaking my tasks up into smaller chores, this will make it seem that is not as big of a task and it’s okay if it’s not going to get done in one day! I break my cleaning up into zones and so my fuller focus is on that zone of the week!

This way I can do the ceilings in the living room one week and maybe do the dusting in windows, and then the next time that my living room zone comes into play I know I don’t have to be washing walls and deep cleaning corners because maybe that was already done the last round in the zone!

I have to tell myself that not every room needs to be completely top-to-bottom scrubbed all the time oh, that’s silly like who would think that!

Another thing to try to find motivation is to not look for it all the time, there is nothing wrong with sitting down having a cup of coffee putting your feet up oh, maybe just watching the show! I know for me that when I sit down I seem to think I sat a lot longer than what I did and then I find a little extra motivation to get up and going on that task!

Don’t over do it in one day, you don’t need to do a hundred tasks plus your daily tasks, there are some days where all I will do is my basics and then maybe the next day I will do twice as much deep cleaning as what I was going to!

The kicker with the dust and dirt is unfortunately it’ll be there when you get to it. I have been waiting for little fairies to come and clean my house at night for years I have looked in every corner of my house looking for the easy Button, I can’t find it!

My point to the blog is it’s not always easy to find motivation, but there are things that you can do to help find that motivation!

So, if you’re feeling a little slugging get up off that couch and go make your bed, throw a load of laundry in and get those dishes put away!

Right there you will feel so much better, you will look around and find your motivation to get that nagging tasks done that you didn’t want too.

However, remember most big gross tasks once you get it done it’s done!

I hope this is help you find a little motivation the other days, let’s get our houses ready for summer and get ready to bust out start cleaning our yards LOL!

Make sure you follow my social media Pages for more day- day fun and some tips and tricks!

I will have them linked down below. Until next week I hope you have a wonderful day, a fun weekend in the productive week.

Bye for now!

Cleaning

SPRING FAVORITES!

classyclassicsbykandis7 Comments

Hi, good morning! I’m glad you are here for another blog! I am too excited for spring to “actually” get here! With spring comes for fun, more outside more dirt and grim!

I thought I would use this week to show you some of my favorite spring go to things! As a busy mom of 4 Kids oh, there is always something happening, there is always mud being tracked in, one kid wants to do this one kid wants to do that!

This would all be fine except for my last two kids are still a little young! With being 4 and 2 years old they can’t quite just go and play yet unsupervised!

And so when I need to split up and conquer there are definitely some cool go to things that I have really became dependant on this time of the year! I absolutely love spring we get to bust of the house we get to go and play in puddles we get to just not be in the house 24/7, but with that comes even more!

It can sometimes be easier just to stay in the house get your stuff done have your routines and continue on with your Merry way!

However, this is not reality and the kids need to be outside once in awhile out of my hair!

So how do you balance play time and my time!

How do you get all of your stuff done, when there’s just a bigger mess being tracked in!

I definitely have a couple go to spring cleaning and organizing tricks that I would be helpful for anybody who enjoys playing in springtime!

The first thing that I have considered a necessary tool for the house, is having a spot for all of the kids has messy muddy stop to come in between play times!

Another thing that I find of an important is having a quick go to way to get some of that dirt off the floor before it gets tracked all over the entire house!

With this I have really come to love Robo vacuum and my Swiffer Sweeper!

These items are awesome because the robo vacuum I will set up an vacuum my house as we are outside playing, and like Swiffer Sweeper I love because I can just do a really really quick sweep and it will collect all of that dirt and it won’t get scattered as quick for the house!

Another thing that I I am obsessed over right now is the Norwex dusting mitt, and the dusting set!

These are wonderful the dusting that you can just put it on your hand walk around and just everything as fast as what you think, and as for the cleaning cloth set I love this to because all you need is water and I can follow along with my window cloth to do a streak free shine on the Windows!

This makes it great because I can dust top to bottom with two cloth and just walk out the door when done! There is no harsh chemicals and there is no leftover streets because you were only using water!

I recently bought a spin mop also and it’s great! I line that my floors are not streaky and very little water is left on the floors! It hold on to crumbs and works nice for us! I use just a vintage and water mix!

I also have a small bissell vacuum that can be used also as a hand vacuum! This is nice because it’s not big and heavy! This makes doing small areas or even the stairs so much easier!

When it comes to me getting spring ready I have to say I’m trying to get more me time in!

When I feel my hair needs a little extra care, I like going to some of my Monat products! I love the replenish hair masqueon days that my hairs is really need some extra love and hydration!

I also love the berry exfoliating scrub! This really helps break all the grime and dirt on my face and it takes 5 minutes that is it, it’s truly a great thing! There’s a new thing out with Monat that is the scalp scrub, then I think is very exciting because we can forger that we need a spring cleaning too!

These are definitely a handful of my favourite products right now! I definitely have a couple other cleaning tools that I am in love with, but I’m not using on necessarily a daily base!

If you want to see more of my cleaning tools, or my cleaning tips and tricks make sure check out some of the other social media pages.

I tried to do more day-to-day post on there with all sorts of mom fun! I will leave the pages linked down below!

I will also leave a link for lunate if you would like to check it out there is a quiz that you can do to see what is going to be an awesome match for you!

Until next week an amazing day, a wonderful weekend and a productive week!

Bye for now!
