Since our family will be moving into a new “fixer” house sometime soon (I know I’ve been saying that for a half year), I’ve been trying to come to some conclusions about “my style”. It’s always a hard thing for people to pinpoint about themselves.

I love a classy look with some unexpected and modern details.

Biz Stain Fighter….not just for laundry!

Cleaning is not one of my favorite things to do. We are a family of seven, and between working from home and home schooling, it seems as though the messes NEVER stop!

One of my least favorite chores is scrubbing tubs and showers and the inside of garbage cans….(that has to be one of the grossest places ever!)

When I watched this Biz video, I realized Biz isn’t just for fighting laundry stains, but is for basic cleaning, as well as scrubbing those nasty places that I despise!
