    Coffee or Tea- Coffee

    Queen bed or King- We have a queen but I'm getting a king for Christmas. Love a king sized matress.

    Candles or warmers- Both but I love my warmers for scent and candles for looks.

    Art or family photos- Both. I like quirky art and love family portraits.

    TV or radio- Both but TV more.

    Curtains or sheers- Sheers. I love a bright home.

    Plan ahead meals or dinner on the fly- Dinner on the fly most of the time. I have am idea of what I'm going to make but it can change.

    Chachkes or no Chachkes- Chachkes but no too many, haha.

    Bath or shower- Both. Showers misy because I never get time to actually enjoy a bath.

    Pets or no pets- Pets. Two small dogs.

  • Loading the player...
  • Coffee or Tea:  Depends.  Coffee in the morning, tea (decaffianated) at night.
    Queen bed or King:  King.  We switched last year and it's so nice to sprawl out.
    Candles or warmers:  I mainly use warmers.  I do like candles, but only use them for "special" occasions, mostly when we have company over.
    Art or family photos:  Family photos.  I do need to purchase more "art", though.  Our walls are still pretty bare after being here for two years.
    TV or radio:  TV, for sure.
    Curtains or sheers:  Curtains.  Although, in this house, we have none.  Mostly blinds.
    Plan ahead meals or dinner on the fly: Plan ahead (and by plan ahead, I mean by a day or so).  Makes me feel more organized.  I try to do this during the weekdays.
    Chachkes or no Chachkes:  Maybe juuuuust a few, haha.  I have a few "momentos" that remind me of family members who have passed.
    Bath or shower:  Shower
    Pets or no pets:  Pets!  Just one dog is perfect for us.

  • Coffee or Tea-coffee!
    Queen bed or King-king
    Candles or warmers-candles
    Art or family photos-both
    TV or radio-both
    Curtains or sheers-neither! We have honeycomb shades if the sun gets too bright.
    Plan ahead meals or dinner on the fly-dinner on fly for sure

    We tend to do everything at once, when the mess gets to that, "wow, this place is a disaster" state. I have to dust before vacuuming because then the dust would fall on a clean floor and then what's the point!!!

    Coffee or Tea - All day long
    Queen bed or King - DH & I are giants, I need some room to relax
    Candles or warmers - I like fire
    Art or family photos - I am a gallery wall up the stairs kind of girl
    TV or radio 
    Curtains or sheers - I like privacy, but end up keeping them open all the time anyway!
    Plan ahead meals or dinner on the fly - in reality, it is a little bit of both
    Chachkes or no Chachkes - I have really had to filter myself as an adult or I would be one of those crazy people with shit everywhere
    Bath or shower - I have yet to find a practical tub that I can stretch our in
    Pets or no pets - We recently lost our dog, and were waiting for my next maternity leave to get a new one so I had time to potty train - womp womp


    Kid #1 - 09/03/12
    Kid #2 - maybe???
    Diagnosed with Severe Ashermans 
    Hysteroscopy #10 - scar tissue grew back reblocking my right tube
    #11 or IVF with scarring still inside?
    1 lone embryo from September 2016 retreival, dx with Trisomy 16, starting fresh

  • I would like to know how often everyone dusts and how often do you do a deep cleaning, Do you do one room at a time? Do you tackle the whole house at once? Etc 
    I dust every other week, used to be a couple times a week when we had furry pets in the house. Deep cleaning is every couple of months when I get overwhelmed with a mess and need to get rid of everything. I usually get through 1 or 2 rooms before I take a break and may or may not get back to it.

  • Coffee or Tea - Coffee, preferably Starbucks

    Queen bed or King - Queen now - but would like a King someday when we move (next house - ha ha - I've been saying it for years)

    Candles or warmers - candles

    Art or family photos - both - of course most photos are of DD

    TV or radio - Radio - I love my Sirius XM since I spend a lot of time in the car commuting

    Curtains or sheers - curtains - too many nosy neighbors for sheers

    Plan ahead meals or dinner on the fly - plan ahead - if I don't do some cooking on the weekend for the upcoming week we are seriously lost

    Chachkes or no Chachkes - none - our house is overrun with DD's toys and that is enough

    Bath or shower - I would love a nice soaker tub someday

    Pets or no pets - None right now

    Before DD I used to do all the cleaning in one shot, every couple of weeks.  Now I split up the cleaning.  Bathrooms one week, dusting another etc.  With the new floors we have, I sweep all the time since DD leaves a trail of Cheerios everywhere she goes.

  • I would like to know how often everyone dusts and how often do you do a deep cleaning, Do you do one room at a time? Do you tackle the whole house at once? Etc 
    I dust every other week or so and I deep clean each room at least once a month but not all at once. Our cleaner isn't very good, she does more surface cleaning but often after she is here I get the bug to deep clean.

  • Coffee or Tea--Coffee for DH, tea for me
    Queen bed or King--Queen
    Candles or warmers--Candles
    Art or family photos--Some of both
    TV or radio--TV.  We listen to the music channels on it sometimes.
    Curtains or sheers--Neither.  I like lots of light.
    Plan ahead meals or dinner on the fly--We plan ahead and then usually decide we're too tired to actually make what we had planned, so--neither?
    Chachkes or no Chachkes--Chachkes
    Bath or shower--Bath (Shower for DH)
    Pets or no pets--We have a cat (mine from before we met).  DH would prefer no pets, so he won't be replaced when he goes.

    I would like to know how often everyone dusts and how often do you do a deep cleaning, Do you do one room at a time? Do you tackle the whole house at once? Etc
    We try to make sure the house isn't actually a health hazard, and kind of call that good.  I keep suggesting that we take a day off work so we can do a deep clean without interruption from DD, but it hasn't happened yet.
