My mother is descended from a race of people who are compulsive clean-freaks.
The stories of my great aunts who each had their own personal broom and dustpan are legendary.
These people cleaned things. Every. Day.

A big THANK YOU to my husband, Eric, for understanding that about me. I love you, too.

It is part of my lineage also. And the apple don’t fall far from the tree.

I remember coming home from school and my house smelling like Pine-Sol and Clorox! I knew that my mom had been working hard that day! She was obsessed with clean floors :)
