Next Meetup

Does anyone in the group have a meetup idea in mind. I'd love to hear from our members what you think would be a fun meetup. Leave a comment below or go to our discussion board.

Starting Fresh

Hi "misfit" Mamas. I'm Laura Ashe, the organizer of this meetup group. We are 468 members at this time.

It has been a long time since I posted an event but I would love to see this meetup group get some momentum going. So I'm starting off with a simple event: coffee.

I will post all the details on the meetup calendar.

Here is a picture of me drinking coffee so you can recognize me at the meetup:

Hope to meet you there.

Trying Again to Clean the House

The bathroom is now in worse shape then when I cleaned it the first time:

Yesterday's cleaning project seemed to backfire.
Yes, that is a doritos bag on the floor of the bathroom. And there is sand everywhere.

I'm going to tackle this job with my vacuum cleaner as my tool of choice.

Done. Then I wiped the whole room down with a multi-purpose cleaner.

You might be wondering what kind of Mom lets her child play with sand in the bathroom in the first place. Or maybe you are that kind of Mom, too. I can't really give a good answer to that question. Maybe it is because it does seem like it would be fun. Anyway, here is the "after" picture:

If you have any comments, tips, or any ways you stay motivated to clean the house, please leave a comment below.

Moms Clean the House

My sister and I have been trying to help each other stay motivated or get motivated to clean the house. It can be so overwhelming and such a thankless job. But we are trying to make it a little more rewarding by posting before and after pictures, and breaking down hard tasks into smaller, more manageable steps.

Here are some examples so far. These are the before pics of my daughter's bathroom:
