The Hatten Family: Exciting times in the bathroom

Exciting times in the bathroom

I spent one hour cleaning grout in the bathroom tiles in the kids' upstairs bathroom yesterday. I'm pretty sure it hasn't had a good clean since our house was built in 1986. I'm also pretty sure that no one else who lives in our house will even notice my labor of love, so I felt the need to document it.

I saw on Pinterest a grout cleaning method of using baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, so I tried that and it worked pretty well. It may have worked better if I had a new bottle of hydrogen peroxide. I think mine is really old. I also used some bleach cleaner on really stained places. And a lot of scrubbing with an old toothbrush. Woohoo! One bathroom down, two more to go (another day....)

There are many things like that when you're a mom. Small tasks that no one else will notice or appreciate. That's okay. Do it as unto The Lord. Be faithful in the small things too.

Epheisans 3: 14-20

For this reason, I kneel before the Father from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives it name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
