Pregnancy Turned Me Into A Happy Homemaker

Happy Housewife? Or Domestic Goddess?

Well, some kind of belly dancing, big-breasted, Earthy, baby-growing Mama to be sure!

I'm nesting, big time!

If you know me in person, you know that I generally leave a mess behind, trailing dust and scraps of food as I walk this world. I am not a cleanly child. It was tough growing up with those ultra-sanitary Virgo parents, y'know, when I'm more like a Princesse Sauvage.

I am on a mission to destroy dust in our tiny little home! I bought a vacuum cleaner for the first time in my life (usually I borrow from neighbors for my infrequent cleaning jaunts). I bought a feather duster! I even scored a HEPA air filtration unit at Goodwill for $11.25!!!

Now my little home feels cleaner. It won't pass no white glove test, but it's pretty good for my shoddy standards. :) Maybe I won't wake up with a stuffy nose every morning... I'm sure the dust and cobwebs did not help that.

Cheers!

Now then don't over do it...This from a Virgo asc...6th house Sun. Just please promise me you won't use that anti bacterial stuff. It is awful toxic and bad for the environment, and bad for our babies. ; ) It's good to hear you are feeling well, it brings back memories of my first pregnancy 23 years ago.

Did you tell us your due date?

I'm due around April 17th, but I know baby's come when they're good and ready, so I'm certainly not attached to that day!

And I definitely only use non-toxic cleaning supplies. Our main cleaner is pure oil from orange peels. We can spray it on the countertop right next to our fruit basket, it's that safe. Otherwise, good old white vinegar. I'm a green mama, all the way!
