The Easiest Ways to Keep Your Home Clean: A Comprehensive Guide

You really can make your home more comfortable and more beautiful no matter what you start with.. Next up, we’re going to be finishing up and sharing a quick renovation we did in our daughter Kennedy’s bedroom.

There have also been quite a few surprises and some pretty good little stories too, so whether you’re thinking of writing a book, or whether you just want the chance to peek in at what it’s like, this is your chance!.One of the first things that I found really surprising about the whole book-writing thing is just how much back-and-forthing goes on before the book-writing can even really begin!

Well, it may be a little different for every author, because of course there are those that write the book first and then “shop” it around to different publishers.In my case, the publisher reached out to me to see if writing a book would be something that I would be interested in, and we started building the concept for the book from there..When the editor at the publisher first emailed me, of course I was excited and felt pretty honored that she/they had read my blog and felt that my writing style and what I wrote about would be fitting for an actual real, live book.

We scheduled a time to chat on the phone about the book idea a little bit more, and my impression was honestly that she would be kind of trying to sell me on the idea of writing a book for them and letting me know what that would entail and it would just be up to me to either say “yes” or “no”.. Ha!.The first call was almost like an interview for me, which in retrospect makes sense, because they want to be sure I’m an actual person, with an actual passion for what I’m going to write about.

They wanted to know a little bit about my story and my background, and if I had any other interests besides the main subject for the book, and of course what made me so interested in writing a book on this subject, which was homekeeping/cleaning tips.

I was really surprised though, as I thought that I would mostly be listening rather than talking on this call, so I kind of had to gather my thoughts quickly on the spot and then “sell” myself a little bit.Since we’ve got Jack’s room pretty much finished up now, I thought it would be fun to put a tree up in his room and do a little Christmas decorating up there too.

Unfortunately, the tree that was on its way to my house that was going to go in his room seems to be stuck in customs right now and might not make it here in time for Christmas.We’ve already got 2 full-size trees up in the house, so it’s not a big big deal if we don’t get the third up this year.

I did manage to get quite a few cute ornaments together that would look good in his room though.They’ll still look great next year too, so I’m all set for then!.
