Whatever your plans are for the next few months, I can guarantee one thing: You need cleaning supplies. That’s why I asked C*L*R to sponsor one of this year’s giveaways.
C*L*R Product
Whether you’re preparing to host the family from out of town, or needing to clean up after the rugrats open their gifts, you need cleaning supplies. Maybe you live alone in a small apartment. You need cleaning supplies.
When I knew this great assortment of product was on the way, I stopped wiping my stove after every use. For several weeks, I let the grease and spills build up. Gross, right?
Gross Grease
I fell in love with their Bath and Kitchen Daily Cleaner spray. It’s so easy! Just spray, soak, swipe.
Spray and Soak
The spray instantly foams up as it activates. It not only cleans off the layers of gunk, it leaves a bright shine.
Spray and Soak
That easy! Ok, a little scrubwork is involved too, but very little. Some hot water, a little sponge. And very little time.
Slight Scrubbing
That’s important, too, right? Cuz while you want a clean house for the holidays, or any day, you don’t want to take all day to get it that way. This stuff does the hard work for you.
I don’t know about you, but there’s nothing better than cooking holiday treats on a beautifully clean stove.
Shine On!
To help get your house clean and shiny, C*L*R wants to give you this great assortment! Five of their best products for all your indoor and outdoor cleaning needs:

All you need to do is leave a comment below telling me what your toughest cleaning job is. And there’s a few bonus entries, too.
So how ’bout it? Let Frankly, My Dear… and C*L*R help you get your house in order!

It’s been a long time coming. I haven’t been able to tell one day from the next. But now… Now, I’m (almost) ready. Now, I’m less anxious and more amped.
My Bento Lunch is packed. My purse is gathered. My clothes are hanging neatly. Did I miss anything? After my emotional vomit on TGIF as well as the outpouring of encouragement and support that followed, I can say I’m faced with a renewed emotion today: Excitement.
It started out as anxiety as I prattled off a list of “What If’s” to my brother, who immediately assured me those thoughts are natural… But I’m not so sure how natural it is to contemplate being the sole survivor of a catastrophic event the first week I start work and having to run the office alone amidst a deficit of knowledge and working skills… Just sayin’…
Faced with the ridiculousness of my writer’s brain, I already informed my new boss that I think a little differently than most. I promise (or so I told her) that it won’t affect my professionalism. I mean, really. I’m back in the Insurance industry. My creativity won’t affect that. [I do hope I get to use the word, defenestration, at some point… but I highly doubt it.]
As I filled out documents last week, I broached the subject of Identity Fraud. My new boss questioned me, “Why would someone do that?” To which I promptly responded, “I have no idea. But I watch a lot of crime drama so I know it happens.” Yeah. Cuz my reality really should be a TV movie.
What started as trepidation as I perused the 300 page “Office Bible” quickly turned to confidence. I’ve done this job before. I can do it again. I loved it once. I’ll love it forever.
I am now, again, officially a Nine-to-Fiver.
My boss asked me a great question during our initial interview: “Where do you see yourself in five years?” I responded, “The same. Only… better.”
That which I have prayed for has arrived. And whatever comes of it, I’ve been here before.
So I know it’s going to be alright.
I’m turning a new page. And pretty excited to write a new chapter.
And Frankly, My Dear… that’s all she wrote!
