FEEL THE CHANGE

I have said this a number of times in previous posts: I am not a clean freak. And yet I'm always blogging about ways to get cleaner or how to remove this or that stain. So what's all this about? Well, one day things just changed: when I got a tiny little premie called Noni. Noni came into our world straight after New Year's celebrations. All of a sudden very inch of the house seemed dirty or dusty or both - we had to clean up and keep it that way, ALWAYS.

SAITAMA MEME: CLEANING PET PEEVES

Saitama meme has gone viral. I figured I could ride this craze and have a laugh while at it. We all have pet peeves when it comes to cleaning. So here are a few...

BEFORE YOU BUY THAT SPEEDO

I recently attended my kids' swimming gala and was very impressed to see how far they've come, from the paddle pool, to the baby pool and now in the big pool! But I'm rather unimpressed by how many swimsuits we've had to go through.

KEZIAH

Happy International Women's Day! I had to google to see why we celebrate this day. And why is it "International" and not just "Women's Day"? Still pondering that one. Of course, we should celebrate women everyday and not just on March 8th (unless it's your birthday...Juliet, et al). Women make the world go round, so better grease those wheels! Since I don't do it everyday, I want to celebrate the lady that takes care of us, Keziah.

THE USUAL PUNISHMENT AT STATE HOUSE

We are all shocked by the recent revelations of assault and physical abuse at Bush. It's clear that more schools need to get investigated; there is probably worse goings-on in the bundus schools. As I read that article I couldn't help looking back to the days I was in boarding school, in Stato. There was no bullying there and certainly no form of physical abuse whatsoever. Yet obviously, I didn't know how good I had it then.

WHAT THEY DON'T SAY ABOUT NASA

I'm terrible with local politics or any kind of politics. I found out The Trump was the new POTUS perhaps a day after everyone else. Can't wait for the next elections when we'll all be using his own phrase on him, "You're fired!" Recently, when my relas were arguing about NASA in our "Mugoci Crew" whatsapp group, I was quiet the whole time because I wasn't up to date with NASA space station manenos. I had absolutely no clue was this NASA thing was. Things were heating up, but I just wanted silly memes!!!

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR IRON BOX

Ironing clothes is an interesting chore. You either love it or hate it. When I iron my clothes I completely zone out. I get lost in thoughts and projections... and before I know it, I'm done. You don't want to be completely alert when ironing, it's like watching paint dry.

4 SIMPLE WAYS TO CLEAN YOUR FRUITS

When driving through the Rift Valley, you're likely to come to the Molo junction, about an hour past Nakuru. Be careful as you slow down at the bumps, because you'll have roasted maize, carrots, passion fruits, beetroots and veggies shoved into your car window by over enthusiastic vendors. If you just take a glance at the succulent produce, it becomes difficult (if not impossible) to ignore them. The little drops of water on the shinny peel,

5 TYPICAL CLEANING MISTAKES

I know a good number of cleaning services that make over Ksh 100m a year just taking care of other people's s**t. Should house cleaning be a highly technical field? No. Yet, the information I impart below will sound quite rocket sciency for some people. Don't worry, that's why I'm here. That said, cleaning sense is not common sense. Here are 5 things you may be doing wrong:

SORRY I SPAT ON YOU...

Did you know you could get arrested by kanjo for spitting on the street? Ok, so maybe I didn't actually spit on you, but rather I put spit on you. And perhaps I won't do it again, but mama certainly will. And she will do it with love. It was disgusting in the 80s and it's still disgusting in 2017:
