Dear Home Ec 101:
Growing up my mother did all the household chores and found us more of a hindrance than a help, so she never taught us how to do anything. I went to college, got married straight out of the dorm, and have had a cleaning woman ever since. This winter our circumstances changed. We had to drastically cut back and I’m now realizing I don’t even know where to begin! I have a college degree, but I feel in over my head. I am expecting another baby and don’t know where to start. I need all the how-tos: dusting, mopping, sweeping. Is there a right way to do things? A schedule I should follow?
Help me, I’m lost!

Heather Ivy says:
Man, do I ever feel your pain. Letting the cleaning lady go was the most horrible thing I ever did in my life. Oh, wait. I’m the cleaning lady. I so should not have fired me her.
All kidding aside, it’s funny you should ask this question right now because Heather and I were totally thinking about starting up a Cleaning 101 series. This site was built on basics like that.
So, to make a long story post short, go check out this post I wrote over at Curbly, and stay tuned for the Cleaning 101 series!
