Housekeeping Grandma’s Way

Deep cleaning

Start with one room at a time, working from top to bottom. Dust, wash windows, vacuum or shampoo carpets, clean under furniture, empty cupboards, wipe down appliances, and launder curtains. Repeat this process seasonally.

When I was a child keeping a home followed a schedule and a set plan. Grandma always kept to a schedule. Even with six children, her home was always spotlessly clean. You could set a clock by meal time.

Laundry on Monday, Ironing on Tuesday, etc.Once monthly she would wash, iron and change the kitchen curtains. Seasonally she would do a deep cleaning, also called Spring cleaning. It’s funny when it came time to deep cleaning every season was “Spring”.

Storytelling has always been a part of my life. As a young girl, I filled notebooks with little stories, inspired by the tales my grandmother shared about her life. Those moments with her sparked my love for capturing memories and emotions through words. Writing allows me to explore the threads of life—family, memory, and the moments that shape us.
