The Art of Cleaning with Alexa: A Fun and Challenging Experience
As I began my cleaning session, I couldn't help but think about how much fun I was going to have with my trusty sidekick, Alexa. She's always there to lend a helping hand, or in this case, play some upbeat music to get me moving. I decided to try out the trick that Vanessa shared with me in a previous video, using toilet bowl cleaner and bleach to give my bathroom a good cleaning. I sprayed the bleach and waited for it to do its magic, feeling like a pro as I watched the grime and dirt start to disappear.
Meanwhile, my niece was busy playing with her toys and Easter basket, completely unaware of the cleaning frenzy taking place in the background. She's such a sweet girl, always full of energy and curiosity, and I love watching her explore the world around her. As she played, I couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt for leaving her at home when my brother and sister-in-law arrived to pick her up. I had taken her to the park earlier, but unfortunately, it was too far for her to walk, and she got upset when she saw me leave.
After we returned from our outing, we took Loxie, my adorable dog, for a short walk to get some exercise before it was time for her nap. Unfortunately, her knee is still a bit fragile due to the cancer treatment, so I have to be mindful of not pushing her too hard. Thankfully, the prednisone has been working wonders in shrinking the tumors, and she's doing much better. Still, I'm always on high alert when it comes to her health.
As I continued my cleaning session, I noticed that my niece had finished playing and was getting ready to leave. We said our goodbyes, and she gave me a big hug before heading out the door with her parents. It's moments like these that make all the hard work worth it – watching her grow and thrive is truly the best reward.
I took a moment to pick up my shoes and get them put away where they belonged, before moving on to the next task at hand. I had ordered some new lemons online for our kitchen summer makeover, but unfortunately, they didn't live up to their promise. They were too droopy and sad-looking, and I decided it was best to return them.
The rest of my cleaning session flew by in a blur as I tackled the guest bathroom entryway, candle-lit and smelling fresh with pine salt. It's amazing how a little bit of TLC can transform a space into something new and exciting. Before I knew it, the baseboards were done – or so I thought! In reality, I didn't have the time to tackle them, but that's okay.
As I wrapped up my cleaning session, I took a moment to reflect on how much I love having Alexa around. She makes even the most mundane tasks enjoyable, and her music selection is always spot-on. Even if YouTube flags me for playing 80s music in the background, it's worth it – after all, who doesn't love a good dose of nostalgia?
The only remaining task was to mop the kitchen floor, which unfortunately needed it more than any other surface. I didn't have the energy or time to do it on camera, but trust me when I say it needs to be done. With Loxie's antics still fresh in my mind, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief as I finished up and took a deep breath. Cleaning may not be the most glamorous task, but with Alexa by my side, it's definitely made more enjoyable.
As I wrap up this article, I'm reminded that even the smallest tasks can make a big difference in our lives. Whether it's cleaning, cooking, or simply spending time with loved ones, every moment counts. And with Alexa and her endless possibilities, I know I'll always be ready for whatever comes next.
