Where do your notes start?
My Moleskine notebook is the first place I jot down things from items to add to my grocery list, to to-dos, and random thoughts of which there are tons, important dates, gift ideas, and other ramblings. From there I usually add those notes to the appropriate iPhone app such as Shopper or NotifyMe.
Without my Moleskine notebook, my thoughts may never make it to completion. What a disaster that would be!

What is Moleskine?
MOLESKINE is the legendary notebook that has held the inspirations and ideas of everyone from Van Gogh, Picasso and Hemingway to famed author, Bruce Chatwin. Artists, authors, and geniuses of all variety have long appreciated the simplicity and superior functionality of these notebooks.

Moleskine notebooks and planners are available in several sizes.  The 3.5 x 5.5 in. pocket notebooks are the perfect size to carry in a purse or diaper bag and are great for jotting down your baby’s latest diaper change or that funny thing your toddler said during your playgroup.  I use the large A4 Folio Notebook for work notes and for jotting down thoughts I have while at home or in my office.

Between my two kids, my husband, and myself, someone in our house has been sick since early September. First my son had Bronchitis, then he got a nasty stomach virus, two days later my 3 year old got the stomach virus, then two days later my husband got the stomach virus. Next, my 3 year old had Pneumonia, now my 10 year old has Pneumonia, and I have pharyngitis.. what the heck is that anyway? I don’t know.
The first thing I did after I realized that just cleaning the house wasn’t getting rid of the germs(like anything actually will) was to buy two cans of Lysol, one for soft porous surfaces and one for hard surfaces. Then I sprayed and cleaned all of the door handles, cabinets, remote controls, chairs, stair rails, the iron, anything that we touch I Lysoled.

Then I had a brilliant idea! I remembered that my new Frigidaire Affinity Washing Machine has a Sanitize setting so I grabbed all of the sheets, blankets, pillow cases, stuffed animals, towels, pajamas, and anything else that the kids wore or touched regularly and SANITIZED them!

If only I could toss my area rugs, sofas, carpet, and toys in the washing machine, that would be awesome! Oh, but I learned recently that you can put some toys in the dishwasher. That would be considered sanitizing right?

Here’s another post about my Frigidaire washing machine.

What special cleaning rituals do you have when you or your child is sick? Do you hire someone to clean for you? Bust out the vinegar? Or let the dust pile up because you’re to tired to clean? Let me know here.

I wish I could sanitize our entire house in my Frigidaire Affinity washing machine.. is a post from: The Mommy Insider. It looks like you are reading this post in your favorite RSS reader. Don't be shy..hop on over to check out our current giveaways, coupon codes, and to share your comments!
