I'm a Window Washer

After having Ava, understandably I was drained. It took some time, like 6 months to where I felt like I had some energy. I don't remember feeling this way with my firstborn. Shoot, I can't even remember what I wore two days ago.

With the weather being so beautiful outside yesterday, I decided to open the windows, turn the air off, and just feel the breeze. I. Was. Loving it. I looked out the window and I realized they were dirty, extremely dirty. Like extremely.

With all this new found energy I thought to myself, "I'm gonna clean these windows!"

I already had the supplies on hand, because I am the queen of starting projects and not finishing them. I am working on that...




It really wasn't too arduous of a chore. I had to do it in stages considering Ava's nap and picking up Aiden from school.

I had two spray bottles, one that I filled with just plain water, and the other with half water, one quarter white distilled vinegar, and a few drops of dish soap. It doesn't have to be exact. First, I sprayed the outside window with water. Then, I sprayed the window with the vinegar solution and wiped it with the rag. Afterwards, I sprayed the window again with water, and squeegeed it off. As far as the bottom part of the window was concerned, I just popped off the screens and did the same thing. The screens were not dirty, so there was no need to wash those. Thank God.





When it came to the inside windows, I used the Windex vinegar all purpose spray. It smells a lot better than making your own vinegar spray from home. I sprayed the inside of the window pretty good and rubbed it with a couple of paper towels. I needed to make sure it was good and wet so I sprayed it again, so that I could squeegee it. The squeegee just does something. It's magical.




The sun comes in with such vibrancy now. This is the perfect time to do this because the weather is just so, well, perfect!

Last night as I laid the kids to bed, I felt accomplished, but I was... tired.
