Cleaning Lady

I hired a cleaning lady. It was necessary and most definitely a need in my eyes. I have never had a cleaning lady before, but going from an 1,100 square foot house to an almost 2,900 square foot house was just too much for me. I cleaned our old house in 1.5 hours tops...super easy. Now it takes me an hour just to do the master bath. I am so not interested in doing this. After working all week long the last thing I want to do is clean my house. I would rather spend the time with Max and Andy and use his nap times to get a workout in...not clean my house.

I received plenty of recommendations from co-workers and friends, but I already had a cleaning lady in mind. I knew if I wanted a super cleaner I needed to get a referral from my friend Amber. Now, Amber is super picky and anal about everything she does. I also know she went through a "few" cleaning ladies before she settled on her current cleaning lady. This told me that Amber's cleaning lady is the way to go. There is no need for interviewing cleaning ladies or companies. Just go with what I know...Amber is anal and her cleaning lady must fit up to her standards.  Perfect!

Ms. E. came to the house to check it out and give me a price quote. Again, no need for interviewing or asking questions. I actually told her that if she has been cleaning Amber's house for over a year and hasn't been fired yet then she is the cleaning lady for me. Sorry Amber!

She cleaned our house for the first time on Tuesday and she was worth every penny. It felt great to go home to a clean house that I didn't have to clean. Our wood floors never looked so good. Our master bath was sparkling and the shower looked super clean. I couldn't be happier. She will clean our house every other Tuesday and every other Tuesday when I get home from work I will walk in one super happy mamma.
