Dyson Vacuum Cleaner with ChildIf you’re like me, you didn’t quite get to spring cleaning this year. I won’t mention that we’re still in boxes even though we moved the beginning of June.

Now that the kids are back in school, cleaning and organizing is just where my focus needs to be for a while. So, it’s a good thing Dyson is sponsoring the #gno Twitter party this week to help me get a little more motivated for fall cleaning.

Whether you love to clean or avoid it like the plague like I do, please come and share the good, the bad, or the ugly on housework, cleaning, and organizing with your favorite #gno gal pals this week. And, don’t forget to enter to win one of three Dyson vacuum cleaners.
