This week I removed all the Christmas articles from the home page (you can still find them in the archives). I also took down my own Christmas decorations at home so, with all that 'house cleaning' recently on my mind, I thought I would do an article about house cleaning next week.

I know, I know! But, before you groan too loudly and click out of this newsletter, let me assure you there may be some fun, doable ideas in next week's article. I've interviewed real women with real jobs and real families and I think some of their ideas are real good.
