  • Oranges. If you’re looking for an easy way to brighten up your kitchen or dining room, look no further than your produce section. Displaying oranges is said to bring wealth and luck in Chinese culture.
  • Grapefruit. It’s almost summertime, which can only mean one thing: fruity cocktails! If super sweet concoctions aren’t your thing, opt for a grapefruit drink, instead. This citrus is tart and flavorful.
  • Limes. The lime is lemon’s less famous little brother, but he has some serious cleaning and cooking credentials of his own. In the kitchen, use lime juice to remove dark stains from the inside of a coffee pot.

    influenced by them and I missed you comment about the messes not being so bad when it means you've lots of love and it reminded of a favorite poem of my Mom's... And though I like a tidy house, I have to agree with what it says as long as the house isn't dirty to the point of being unhealthy. Messy... okay. Dirty... not so much.

  • A spray bottle, water, tea tree or grapefruit essential oils makes great cleaning. Removes mold and mildew in a flash!
  • My cleaning basket: A spray bottle with DIY all purpose cleaner, colored microfiber towels, a squeegee, a microfiber dust wand, a plumbing snake, a feather duster, and a bottle of DIY mold and mildew remover. No chemicals allowed!

DIY All Purpose Cleaners

Making your own all purpose cleaners is easy with some few basic supplies. My favorite is 2 cups water with 1 tsp. essential oils such as tea tree oil or grapefruit oil. More DIY recipes on my blog post:

  • My mantra this summer: only save things we need, use, & love.  I'll post a check-in each Monday on the Making Lemonade Facebook page, & you can instagram anytime with #SummerToDeclutter (and @MakingLemonade) to encourage each other.
  • See that closet on the right?  It's full of outgrown clothing and in an unorganized mess.  Time to weed through and only keep what we need!
  • An example of my clutter: I've saved tons of tiny shoe boxes to preserve memories of those tiny feet. Time to face my fears and let them go to make room for new shoes that fit growing feet! Who's ready for a #SummerToDeclutter?

Summer to Declutter

Does anyone else feel as if their house is bursting at the seams? I feel as if we're swimming in clothing, toys, books, and just... STUFF. This summer, I'm committing to decluttering the ...»
