Speed Cleaning, The Race is on! (click here to go to amazon and view the speed cleaning book)


No one and I mean no one like to think about spring cleaning. It takes so much time and effort and can ruin a absolutely pretty day. Well here is a way to add some fun into the cleaning. Make it a challenge between the two of you. Divide up the house or just pick a room a piece and see who can get done the fastest. Now the areas divided have to be about equal and you must decide how clean the area must be. After you have laid the ground work set a starting line and get down in a sprinters squat and if you have a staring pistol shoot it, if not just someone say go. Set up a extra chore for the loser such as having to fix dinner that night or something along that lines. Turn on some music and clean as quick as you can, pick in on each other from time to time to see where you stand. No cheating don't take things form your area and move them to your partners area (I know how you are guys). Run through your partners area from time to time to do a little trash talking, things like "I'm cleaning so fast it looks like your standing still" or "Are you cleaning or posing for a picture?" are some good ones. In the end your house will look better and you should have saved some time that you can spend together well after the loser finishing cooking a great supper.

Volunteer Together (Click here to goto Volunteer Match.org)

Want to do something fun together and help out your fellow humans or beasts! Pick an organization and volunteer together. Not only do get to help others less fortunate than yourself. You get to spend quality time together working for a cause. Some suggestions might be the local human shelter, a homeless kitchen, or even at your local church. Anything where you are not the beneficiary of the action. As you walk away together arm in arm you will realize just how important your relationship is.

Above is a link to Volunteer Match. org for you to find a charity that matches the two of you!
