Speed Cleaning | How To Keep Your House Clean in 45 Minutes a Day by Ruth Soukup on September 8 There are lots of reasons a clean house is important to me, but the biggest is probably simply that my brain works better when my house is clean. Over the years I’ve had lots of people ask how I keep things tidy most of the time. However, to me it is well worth spending 5-7 hours a week cleaning in order to have a house that is pretty darn neat & tidy most of the time. I am a list kind-of girl, so I actually have a daily checklist that I use each day. My “Control Center:” I don’t use a wide variety of cleaning supplies, and I have never been that picky about brands. Here is my system: General Guidelines: Start at one end of the house. Bedroom(s) (5-10 minutes each, depending on how much to pick up): Always make the bed. Bathroom(s) (5 minutes each): Living Room/Dining/Home Office Areas (10-15 minutes): Quickly pick up any shoes, dishes, toys, or other items laying around. Kitchen (10-15 minutes, depending on how many dishes): Finishing Up: Happy cleaning!

Best of Breed Dog Biscuits: King Arthur Flour 1) Preheat the oven to 300°F. Lightly grease a couple of baking sheets, or line them with parchment. 2) Mix together the flour, oats, parsley, dried milk, and salt. 3) Add the eggs and peanut butter, stirring to combine; the mixture will be crumbly. 4) Add enough water to bring the dough together; depending on the season, you may need to add a bit more (winter), or a bit less (summer). 5) To make biscuits using a dog-bone cutter, roll the dough about 1/4" thick, and cut with a 3 1/2" cutter (or the size of your choice). 6) To make dog "cookies," drop the dough in walnut-sized balls onto the prepared baking sheets. 7) Bake the biscuits for about 40 to 60 minutes, baking the smaller cookies for a shorter amount of time. 8) Remove the biscuits from the oven, and cool right on the pans. Yield: about 42 larger (3 1/2" dog-bone) biscuits, 60 smaller (round) biscuits.
